Yes, they are referred to as isos & not roms. PSX games are tons bigger than your normal SNES, N64 etc. games that's why the iso files are split into multiple parts (you have to download all the parts & then extract the iso from them). A normal PSX iso should take from 600 to 900mb. Well, something like that. If you ever see a PSX iso is only around 400mb or less then don't download it. It would be missing either music, ending movies & so on. These PSX games are called rips (if I remember correctly). As to where you can download these games, I remember there was this forum called snesorama or something like that. Try to google that. There's tons of full isos & rips over there. Also you gotta have a good PSX emulator (ePSXe is definitely the best), a bios, some plugins & the right configuration in order to play these games well. PSX emulators are allot more complicated than other console emulators & can take allot of time to figure out. Also you don't need to burn your isos on CDs in order for them to work, you can just open the file with the emulator. I hope that helped you out a bit.

Metal Slug X, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Porsche Challenge, Street Fighter Alpha 3, WWF SmackDown! & WWF SmackDown! 2 - Know Your Role. If I remember I got them all from that snesorama site. I could also upload them but I don't know how to split the files.
