When I try to load NFS High Stakes I'm told that I'm missing the BIOS for running PCECD games, but it's not a PCECD. It's a PSX game. I made the rip myself, and ran it through Discohawk since Bizhawk doesn't like ISO files. What's going wrong, and how can I convince Bizhawk that it really is a PSX game?

I hope that rip was a .bin/.cue file and not a .iso, it makes life a little easier. You run the .cue file and it will run the game as it should.

The rip started as an ISO, but then I ran it through Discohawk to make it a CCD. This process worked for other games. Happy to try ripping to BIN/CUE, but I'll be surprised if that solves it. Though oddly it took two and a half hours to rip while other games went in probably less than 20. Edit: Well, I said I'd be surprised, and appropriately I am. Ripping to BIN/CUE works perfectly. I didn't think it would, but there you go. Took all of 2 minutes to rip too. Not sure why NFS High Stakes is such an oddball. Thank you!

Of course it would work "perfectly" (examples): #4764: Spikestuff's PSX Bishi Bashi Special 2 "Hyper Bishi Bashi Champ" in 09:34.82 #4814: Spikestuff's PSX Tekken 3 in 02:21.17 #4846: Samsara's PSX Umihara Kawase Shun in 02:17.25

Maybe one day I'll have a TAS published... For the moment though it's mostly for personal amusement. Well, off to drive in slow motion. Thanks again.
