I guess another emulator you can use is emurayden its really easy to use & you dont need to download a bios to use it or plugins.
i can upload it if you want to check it
and also about epsxe it can crash while playing xenogears you need to press f7 in a cutscene.crashed near the end in a boss...etc.
But i dont know how emurayden plays that game,i dont ever play xenogears with emurayden but i guess its worth to give it a try.
I upload it in a few minutes i reply here.
