I think it means Play Station

because we usually call those game PS, but I haven't pay much attention to the full name .

I think the most famous PS games are those from Sony.

I will tell you later

I see exactly what you mean now . What you are looking for is a PSone emulator. I use myself the very same one as in the picture you gave me above.
You can get the emulator here:

http://www.epsxe.com/news.php

You will also need to download a buch of plugins, here:

http://home.t-online.de/home/PeteBernert/

You might get it up and running easily. The only thing that won't work is the inbuilt joystick plugin. I've sweat a lot to find one which works, but I don't remember where. Many games runs with a higher quality then the original PlayStation. You need to have those games in CD or iso to play. As all emulators, many games won't run. IMHO it's quite good and funny, but nothing beats a real machine (in the case, a PlayStation), but it's really worthy.
Tell me if you need any help with this babe.

Good luck

I have never tried to run an ISO. You could try first with a CD .

So, you also downloaded the game?. Sorry, I cannot help you with that. I'm a game developer (hobbiest) and piracy of any sort is crime.
memcard is a memory card.... it matters if you wanna save a game...

In fact I am not very interested in PC games. And so far I just play two PC games( one is downloaded and one is bought.) I think an excellent game is worth of the money though it is a little expensive.

Anyway thank you for your help. :_)
