Some consoles require a BIOS file to run. Place the BIOS files directly in the console's system folder — for example, sdmc:/tico/system/psx/.

One of the following:

  • scph5501.bin

    (recommended, USA)

  • scph5502.bin

    (Europe)

  • scph5500.bin

    (Japan)

  • scph1001.bin

Dreamcast Folder: sdmc:/tico/system/dc/

  • dc_boot.bin

    (required)

Sega Saturn Folder: sdmc:/tico/system/saturn/

One of the following:

  • saturn_bios.bin

  • sega_101.bin

  • mpr-17933.bin

Sega CD Folder: sdmc:/tico/system/sega-cd/

One of the following depending on your region:

  • bios_CD_U.bin

    (USA)

  • bios_CD_E.bin

    (Europe)

  • bios_CD_J.bin
