what are bios?

what are bios and what are they used for?

Quatro · July 2nd, 2002

they are used for enabling the emus to run. bios are part of your consoles that were extracted for the emus to run.

The BIOS is a chip that contains the basic input and output instructions. Every computer system has a BIOS, it is necessary to boot and run the computer. The PSX BIOS is nearly impossible to emulate (Sony intentionally designed it that way) so most PSX emulators require the BIOS dump in order to run.

i have a playstation and the games how do i get to the bios....
how do i get the emulator to work?? and is the emulator all i need to download? will it work on windows xp?

Quatro · July 2nd, 2002

well you could download the emulator on this site... but for the BIOS... look somewhere else and DON'T ask for the bios, you might not like the result.

**Demigod** · July 2nd, 2002

Well if you have the proper equipment you can dump the BIOS from your playstation, but it's a rather complex process. An easier alternative would be to find one on the net but you're on your own from there. Try using a search engine like www.google.ca for it.

As far as I know, the only emu's that do not work in Windows XP are VGS and Bleem!. You would not want to use them anyway. ePSXe works great in Windows XP.

ok i have ePSXe and a scph1000.bin bios and the games run a bit fast......i also dont get sound in the videos how can i fix this?

Usually in your Video plugin there will be a setting to enable Frame Limiting. Set this to Auto or (60fps) for NTSC games and (50fps) for PAL games. Make sure you enable XA sound in your Sound settings to get MDEC music.

is there anywhere i can go to get codes for games?

Esturk · July 2nd, 2002

If you want Game Shark codes you can go to http://www.cmgsccc.com/ This is the Game Shark Code Creators Club. It's awesome.

Eacer · July 2nd, 2002

**Shiori** · July 2nd, 2002

You don't use THAT, you download a program called PEC found at www.emucheater.com

BIOS = Basic Input Output System

It's a fixed part of software (ie. it's part of the hardware) that is started when a machine is switched on and enables other software (operating systems, games, etc.) to run.

Quatro · July 4th, 2002

You could download different kinds of plugins for the video and sound so that you can choose what's compatible for you.
