What is the ePSXe software and why would you want it?
Your Time Machine Back to PS1 Era
First of all, what exactly is ePSXe? Simple put, ePSXe is an emulator which allows your PC to mimic the PlayStation 1. The PS1 can be played on devices that weren't even a possibility when these games first came out. ePSXe means 'Enhanced PSX Emulator.' It's a real blessing for retro gamers.
BIOS - The role of BIOS in Emulation
BIOS is needed to make ePSXe run. Consider BIOS, or Basic Input/Output Systems (BIOS), as the secret sauce for making the emulator behave like a PS1. It's basically a series of instructions needed by your emulator to understand PS1 hardware. ePSXe would not work without this.

- Configure EPSXe. Once the BIOS is downloaded, you can load it into EPSXe. The emulator comes with a setup tool that simplifies the process.

Once your ePSXe system is up and running, it's now time to talk about games. The PS1 period was a golden one for gaming. Many of the classics introduced were used to create many modern games. PS1 has it all. From the epic storytelling found in "Final Fantasy VII" to the adrenaline rushing action of "Metal Gear Solid", PS1 had everything.
What PS1 Games Are Available?
But where can I find them? To play these games on the ePSXe you'll require game ROMs. The legality of ROM downloads is also variable, so you should only use those that are already yours. There are many online repositories. But always be aware of the legal boundaries.
