Would I be correct in assuming you're using ePSXe as your emulator? Even if you're not, I did a google search for the error message, and got a few results, and of those this one looks like it has some info on how to fix your problem. Here's the answer that was given to the question:

a) Update your gfx card drivers
or (if a) doesn't help

b) get yourself a modern gfx card
or (if you cannot afford b)

c) use the standard OGL1/D3D6/D3D7 plugins

Judging by those answers, it seems like it's something with your video card You could try using a different video plugin.

Well, it depends on what sort of instructions you want If you want to know how to update your video card drivers, go to the manufacturer of your video card's webiste. In my case, it would be nvidia.com. I'm not sure what kind you have, but find the website, and look for a link on the page that'll take you to somewhere you can download updated drivers. Install those, and try the game again.

However, if you want to know how to choose a different video plugin (and I'm assuming you're using ePSXe with this), go to 'Config'->'Video', and choose a different driver than what you have selected already. I'd recommend using one of Pete's drivers, if possible, since I've gotten the best results with those There's some more graphics plugins here, and if you download one of those simply put the .dll file in the /plugins directory in the ePSXe folder.

The BIOS is illegal if and only if the BIOS you have obtained over the internet does not match the version of playstation you have physically.

EDIT: therefore, to get the BIOS you have to pull it off your own PSX

Distributing it period is illegal. Doesn't matter weather you "have" it or not.

BIOSes go by the same rules as ROMs, since technically, that's what they are. There might be some homebrews which you could distribute, but you can't post the official ones here.

And it'd really help if you mentioned what emulator you're using here.
