The SCPH-5500 [NTSC-J] is the BIOS for a later version of the PlayStation released in Japan. It is used to play Japanese games on this updated model of the console. This BIOS helps the PlayStation start and run games correctly using the Japanese video and language settings. If you are using a Japanese PlayStation or trying to play Japanese PS1 games on an emulator, this BIOS is needed to make everything work the right way. Without it, the games may not load or run properly; it is part of the system, and you need to set it up for things to work smoothly.
