Far be it from me to point anyone back over to Reddit for anything, but the /r/roms sub has a pretty good breakdown of where one might locate files and images for any given system. While you're at it, you might want to check out /r/datahoarder for recommendations on a NAS or good storage unit, to keep those files safe.
There were a few PSP and Vita gems that haven't been ported over to other platforms or upgraded to newer Sony systems, but with P4Golden liberated from the shackles of Vita-exclusivity and Atlus promising to look at porting more of their games to the PC, it's becoming less and less of an issue.
any good sites for roms and emulators?
For emulators, emulator-zone.com and for ROMs and ISOs, it's cdromance.com.
Vimm.net has a great selection of roms for multiple platforms. On the left bar click "The Vault".
NES, Genesis, Super Nes, PS1/2, Dreamcast, Wii, Gameboy/GBC/GBA, DS, and Gamecube.
You can still get the games through the PlayStation stores on the systems.
For now
You can't start if you never stopped.
IP laws are statist bullshit.

GOG got MGS1/2 recently, came as a complete surprise.
Those consoles had games to begin with?

PS4 and PS5 have games?
Eh, PS4 has a pretty decent backlog, dirt cheap these days to boot. I felt filthy buying it but i'm out after this gen.
They baited me in by porting yakuza 0/1/2 to PC and then went radio silent.
And now they've announced the 7th game is getting a PC port.
Not that it matters anyways, they finished the OG main character's story.
