1. Overview Provenance is an open-source, multi-system emulator front-end for Apple platforms (iOS, tvOS, macOS). It supports many consoles, including the Sony PlayStation (PS1). Like all PS1 emulators (e.g., RetroArch, DuckStation, ePSXe), Provenance requires BIOS files to accurately emulate the original hardware's boot ROM and low-level functions.
