I own a playstation 1 so is it illegal to download a BIOS file for my computer?

May be...

i wanna play games on my computer but idk if its legal

Yes, it is illegal.

Not in the US, but unless you post it online or go around bragging about it, nothing is likely to happen.

YEah if the cops hear about it you can pay a fine.

I got a free Playstation 3 from this site, I highly recommend it!
