      I used ImgBurn to create a digital copy of a game I own and it only gives me two files, one is a BIN file at 730mb and another is a CUE file at 1kb. Not sure what I need to do from here.
      Thanks for any help.

        Okay, sorry everyone. Hopefully this post helps someone though.
        I took both the bin and cue files and placed them into the PSX folder under ROMS and it just booted up no problem. The game I used was Metal Of Honor Underground. No BIOS file, nothing other than those two files went into ROM and it worked fantastic.

          If you have already added any ROMs previously, it's done in the same manner. You just need to add both of those files to the 'psx' ROM folder instead of one. If this is your first time adding ROM files, the procedure is documented here.

          Edit: You got it.

            @jimbee said in Ps1 Rip with ImgBurn but no Bios File?:

            No BIOS file

            If you haven't already, you'll want to install a BIOS file, as documented here. Sooner or later, you'll run into compatibility issues otherwise.

              @mediamogul I'm not sure how to generate an SCPH1001.BIN file.

                Unless you have the necessary equipment to extract the BIOS from the PSX that you own, you would have to locate a copy of it by searching online.
