the SFV file? is that the bios?

[SegNin]

No.

The SFV file is a Simple File Verification file that you use to check the files you've downloaded to see if they're not corrupt.

You use the sfv file with something like QuickSFV:

You can find the BIOS here:

The one named PSX_Bios_SCPH1001.zip is the one you need.
