ELI5 Request: How to Install Bios

Hello everyone,
I am completely new and sometimes totally lost in my attempt to get some games to run on the system. I am hoping to run PSX, PS 2, Atari 800 and Neogeo but it seems like they will not work without the bios on the retrostone. Can someone here teach me step by step where and how should I install/copy the bios to?
Thank you very much!

Connect via Ethernet. There's a folder for BIOS images and ROM images. There are a few tutorials on this very forum, if you look.

I did checked every page before requesting for an ELI5 but there was no bios tutorial in this forum.
The closest I can find is this one (
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1749) which is a tutorial on adding roms not bios.
Okay, will have to purchase an Ethernet cable and try it out. Thanks for pointing me in a direction

What is RetroPie?
What is an Emulator?
What are ROMs?
What is a BIOS?
Getting Started...
Just look at the raspberry Pi info. It will be close enough to the Orangepi for the most part....

The process for adding BIOS images is identical to that for ROMs, you just put them in the... BIOS folder?
