When you finish downloading, extract the contents of the archive into the plugins directory of your emulator. Download the GPU plug-in most suitable for your operating system. The most recommended GPU plug-in I’ve seen is Pete’s GPU plugin. When done, the next thing we need to find is a GPU plugin. When you have found these BIOS files, put them in the bios directory located in your emulators directory.

These files do not come with the emulator nor can we discuss how to obtain these files. Before we open our emulator, it is recommended that you track down the Playstation 1 bios files. This emulator does not require installation, but it does require some preliminary configuration when you first open it up. Extract all of the files from the ZIP archive you downloaded into this folder. Put all of your CD images in that folder. In addition to this, create a folder for all of your CD images next to the emulator folder. Next, create a folder for the ePSXe emulator. I recommend creating a folder for all of your PSX needs in that location and opening up that new folder. The next thing you need to do is find a convenient place on your hard drive where you can find your PSX games. This can be found on the ePSXe official download page. In this first part of our guide, we’ll show you how the basics of PSX emulation and build up to more complex scenario’s in subsequent guides. The unfortunate part about emulation the Playstation 1 is the fact that the emulation process is simply a case of “some assembly required” with a complexity comparable to 16 bit PC/DOS emulation.

Unlike a lot of other consoles from this era of gaming and before, PSX emulation involves using CD images instead of ROM images. In this guide, we’ll show you the basics how you can play Playstation 1 games on your computer using the emulator ePSXe. For a lot of gamers who were entering the then newly common world of 3D console gaming, if you weren’t an N64 gamer, you were probably a PSX (Playstation 1) gamer.
