BIOS Files Required?

Do I need to find BIOS files to play Playstation ROMs? If so is there a region-free BIOS so I can use the gamesmenu script?

PlayStation uses CD images (CHD/BIN & CUE), not ROMs. The core automatically swaps BIOSes based on the image mounted. You will need all three in the "./games/PSX/" directory.

Code: Select all

boot.rom  => US BIOS
boot1.rom => JP BIOS
boot2.rom => EU BIOS

More info here and here.

Ok it looks like the BIOS files must be pulled in by update_all. Why would the script pull in PSX BIOS files but not Saturn BIOS files?
