Here’s a draft for a blog post about the — useful for anyone setting up this multi-system emulator. Title: The Essential Mednafen BIOS Pack: What You Need & Where It Goes

| System | BIOS Filename(s) | Notes | |---------------|--------------------------------|-------------------------------------| | PlayStation | scph5500.bin , scph5501.bin , scph5502.bin | Japan, USA, Europe | | Saturn | sega_101.bin | Also requires mpr-17933.bin for some games | | PC-FX | pcfx.bios | | | Neo Geo CD | neocd.bin | Top loader or CDZ | | WonderSwan | wswan.bin , wswanc.bin | Mono & Color | | SuperGrafx | Use PC Engine BIOS | syscard3.pce | | Virtual Boy | vb.bin | |

Mednafen is a powerful, accurate emulator for systems like PlayStation 1, Sega Saturn, PC-FX, Neo Geo CD, and more. But unlike cartridge-based consoles, many of these systems require BIOS files to run games correctly. That’s where a Mednafen BIOS pack comes in.

BIOS files are copyrighted. You should dump them from your own consoles. No BIOS pack distributed online is “official” — use at your own discretion.

Some frontends (like Mednaffe or EmulationStation) let you set BIOS paths per system. Keep all BIOS files in one folder and point each system’s config to it.
