Installation Instruction:

1. Download the PS1 Emulator here. Download only the ePSXe 1.7.0.

2. After you download, extract the file using winrar. If you don't have winrar, you can download it for free. Just search it on Google.

3. After extracting, go to the folder where ePSXe.exe is installed. Open the bios folder and download the "SCPH1001.bin" and place it on the bios folder.

4. Go to the Plugin folder and download plugin files here. Extract the files inside the Plugin folder. It contains sound plugin, graphics plugin, and etc.

PS1 Configuration:

Video Configuration:

After you do all the stuff in the installation instruction, open ePSXe.exe and on the menu bar select config > select video > and on the "Select/Config Main Video Plugin" choose the "Pete's DX6 3D3 Drive 1.77". See the image below:

Click the Configuration on the Config Soft Video Plugin and follow the configuration below:

You can adjust the Fullscreen Mode, Window Mode, and Color Depth depending on your video card. As for my PC with 64mb built-in video card, I go for this configuration. So click OK and OK.

Sound Configuration:

Select the Config again in the menu bar and select Sound. On the "Select Sound Plugin" choose "P.E.Op.S DSound Audion Drive 1.9", check the Sound enabled, and click OK. See the image below:

CDROM Configuration:

On the CDROM configuration under config on the menu bar Cdrom just select "Mooby 2 cd disk image drive 2.8".

Bios Configuration:

Go to Config > Bios > Click Select Button > Go to the folder where you install the ePSXe.exe > open the bios folder > and select the SCPH1001.ini > Click open > click Ok

So I think that would be all. Have fun playing PS1 Games, just post a comment if you have some concerns or questions.
