THE BEST METHOD to run PSX games (and everything else for that matter) is via Retroarch - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/
If you have any questions on how to set it up on Windows please feel free to ask, its very easy.
When I blog, I blog hard. Two a day that is.
Read this shit to appreciate the work I have dun:

It was an interesting read. It's cool to learn what goes into populating those GB boards. Always been interested in SMD soldering, but the opportunity to do it never arose. I was always doing through-hole soldering. I do have a heatgun, but it's not nearly as nice as the setup you have.
I can't wait to start my next board printing! It is probably going to be a z80 developers board due to popular demand, but either way I cannot wait. I also need the income.![]()
No and yes. The gameboy does indeed use a variation of the z80 processor; however, it is modified with extra and fewer opcodes. Not only does it include a built-in synth, but it has a (poorly made) built in RS232 communication and special registers. The board I am making will support only the original z80.
As much fun and useful as it would be to make a board surrounding the gbz80, I think someone already had one in the works. I would like to attempt to add USB to the gameboy. The reason I said poorly made is because there are no timers or interrupts to ensure data communication goes well. They made it to simply 'wait' a certain amount of time and assume it went well.
I wish I had suggested an 8086 dev board rather than the z80. People just got excited and I had to continue with it. I actually own a wonderful text book on BASIC 7.0 which would run on the 8086...but now I have to settle for BASIC 4.something.
