What is the Psxfin emulator?
The Psxfin emulator is a PlayStation one emulator for the pc that is also known as PSX Emulator.
It was initially popular because of having very low system requirements but it has some pretty severe shortcomings that make it an unlikely choice for psx emulation nowadays.
Firstly , it only emulates as a North American PlayStation. Most emulators will let you load whatever bios you want and that will make your emulated PlayStation play as if it is a Playstation from the same region as the bios. This means that copy protection is triggered in some games.
The other major problem is that game compatibility is not great in Psxfin emulator- so a lot of games just don’t work and because the source code was never public ally released, it won’t get any better. There are some amazing ps1 emulators. Pcsx Reloaded being my favourite, especially for lightgun game’s so there isn’t really a reason to use Psxfin emulator.

psxfin download with bios
It’s not generally possible to download the Psxfin emulator with a bios in one package. The PSX bios is under copy write which means it’s illegal to download. It’s still easy enough to find a PSX bios through a google search but you will be best off looking for the emulator and bios separately.

The best place to download psxfin (now called psx emulator) is from the project site at ttp://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/
Again, I wouldn’t recommend it and would use PCSX Reloaded which is a much better emulator.
