- Go to the Desktop and create a new folder named "LSD Dream Emulator".
- Download the files in the image, and put them in the folder you created. Make sure you download the correct 7-Zip file that matches your system's architecture.
- Create two more folders, one named "Emulator," and one named "Games" as shown in the picture below.
- Run the 7-Zip installer that you downloaded, follow all of the steps, and install it. Once 7-Zip is installed, you are ready to go!
- Right click on the file "Everything you need," hover over the 7-Zip setting and select "Open Archive," select the LSD Dream Emulator ISO and BIN files, and drag and drop them into the "Games" folder. The reason we are not using the emulator in this file is because the separate BIOS is in the other folder.
- Right click on the "ePSXe full bios and plugins" file, and open with 7-Zip, copy all files and put them in your "Emulator" folder.
- Exit 7-Zip and delete the files in the image below:
- Go to the directory that has your emulator in it, open ePSXe, and follow the setup.
- Select the scph1001 BIOS.
- Select the default video choice.
