Ripping the PS1 BIOS is illegal. You would need to rip the BIOS from the PS1 (or download it like everyone else) in order to use it. Sony knows that 99% of the people who own a PSP and A PS1 DO NOT have the capacity to rip the SCHP BIOS file from the PS!'s Motherboard.

And the deeper we get into this question, the more it starts to mirror the "NO ISOS" argument around here.

a BIOS file is NOT software, it's Firmware. and is NOT protected by the "you're allowed to make a single backup copy" loophole.

Emulators are legal. Commercial Game's Roms are not.

Emu + Comm game's Roms = (You do the math).

The No ISOS policy is quite simple. And this site also has the same policy for Roms or Bios. As I recall, you can't find the three anywhere here. Just plain old Emu and played at your own risk and concern.

amen...:)

So what that you need a BIOS file? Where you get one is the USER's problem. The guy who made the emulator makes his--as in his code--software available, if the user needs to get *insert something here* to run it, then it's no more the programmer's problem or legal matter.

Just reminding that in theory you don't need an official BIOS to use in emulators, alternative BIOSes could be coded and compiled to act just like the original one. So the emulator doesn't even have a "I'm telling you to get an illegal BIOS because that is the only way" factor.

AND a PS1 emulator won't necessarily need a BIOS file either, it can use HLE.
