It would also be helpful if anybody could define what the following terms mean in the context of emulation: Bios, Graphics plugins, sound plugins. Or if somebody knows of a playstation emulator that doesn’t require me to do all of that shit. An emulator that would install itself and have all of the plugins configured already would be very nice. >:O
but…yah. that’s how i learned. i don’t know why they never just package everything all at once. i find it really stupid that you gott get the bios yourself from somewhere else. but..whatever. just make sure that once you get it, you back it up and never lose it so you don’t have to suffer with it again.
also. just follow the wizard step by step. i always run the wizard a bunch of times just to make sure or make tiny changes depending on the game. get used to it. it’s not a one time only thing.
Remember bleem? That had a reverse-engineered bios as part of the package. Sony sued them into oblivion (and then bought the company, who now designs the emulators so the PSP can run PS1 games. lol).
The BIOS is a chip that contains the PlayStation’s operating system, which is wholly owned by Sony. It’s illegal to host the BIOS file, because Sony will track down whatever site and sue them for copyright infringement.
So it’s not going to be easy to find it just floating around on the internet; I suggest using bittorrent. There are usually packages on bittorrent that include the emulator, all the plugins, and the bios. If you’re willing to download a few hundred gig, there are even PlayStation ‘complete’ packs out there that include images of every single game.

Just keep in mind that I’m just doing this because I have a rep to keep. You just got lucky. 😉

Admirable. You do unto your enemy as you would have done unto you. I admire that. Well, I will try not to be a pretentious prick.
for ePSXe, you put the bios in the folder that should be named "Bios"
the same goes for all the plugins, be they audio, video, cdrom, etc.
