Is worth to note the suffix "'''A'''", "'''E'''", or "'''J'''" in the version string inside the BIOS is always on the same offset in ALL PS1 and PS2 bios images. So in case of replacing the bios the patches mentioned above will be applyed normally<br>

The bios can be replaced by any PS1 rom image (included DTL models), and by most PS2 rom images (maybe by all, deckard models untested). Replacing it by the original PS1 bios restores the Sony logo at start up, and is able to run PS1 menu alone (unmounting disc image with WebMAN during Sony Computer Entertainment logo). Both memory card and CD player are fully accessible. Remounting a disc image (regardless if different than the one started with) will work and boot to PlayStation logo from main menu. Props to Jabu, iirc he figured out running Sony startup screen ages ago<br>

The emulator have a bug (netemu at least) that loads the bios with a fixed size of 4MB file. They probably not changed that size after they reduced the bios file size from 4MB to 512KB. So any PS1/PS2(no deckard) bios image can be used if it have a size of 4MB or smaller. All of them should load games fine.
