Steps

  1. 1
    First, obtain a digital copy of a PlayStation 1 game
    .
    Then download the PSX emulator at http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/psx/psx_em.html and extract it. Make sure that the BIOS file of the PlayStation 1 system is created by downloading a dumper and merger at http://shendosoft.blogspot.com/2013/07/psx-bios-dumper-26-released.html and a memory capture program from http://shendosoft.blogspot.com/2013/06/memcardrex-17-released.html. Name the file SCPH1001.bin. The emulator will not work without this BIOS file.

    A PC controller, if owned, can be chosen as an input device from the "Devices" drop-down menu

On the right side of the buttons, there is a space where any key can be input. In this case, if the controller buttons "up", "left", "down" and "right" need to be set, the Up arrow key, Left arrow key, Down arrow key and Right arrow key on the keyboard are pressed respectively.
