Dumping the BIOS usually means making a copy of it, so your PS2 will work if you copy the BIOS. Erasing or deleting the BIOS on the other hand will most likely break your PS2.

How do you dump the bios from Playstation 2?

It is actually not as hard as you would think. Refer to: http://forums.ngemu.com/pcsx2-forum/84994-guide-dump-bios-through-usb.html for directions to dump your PS2 bios onto a USB Flashdrive. And on a side note, when you dump your bios using a custom code (as explained in the above link) you are actually copying your bios, so it does not render your PS2 useless.


If you own a PS2 how would you get the BIOS files for your PS2 Emulator on your PC?

You could either dump the bios yourself, which could take a little patience, or download from the link below. Note that the only LEGAL way of obtaining a bios is dumping it from your OWN Playstation 2 console.DO NOT ask where to get the bios in the PCSX2 forum, because it's against the rules. That's because the ps2 BIOS is a copyrighted material of Sony and that makes its distribution illegal, meaning we could get in trouble if it was found out that we were supplying people illegally with bios files.Getting the bios needs to come from your machine according to copyright protections. Procedures can be found at the link for the best emulator the PCSX2. PCSX2 is a Playstation 2 'emulator', a free program that tries to replicate the Playstation 2 console to enable you to play PS2 games on your PC. If you do not have the skill to even download bios think about forgetting PS2 emulation. It will not be like playing a PS2 and instead is a lengthy and time consuming process. See the PCSX2 home site and try the getting started link. or the other link for the guide and under the guide bios configuration section there is a link for "A new Bios dumper is already available that can dump your PS2 Bios,ROM1,ROM2,EROM and NVM. Get it HERE"

Where can the Australian Version of the ps2 bios for PCSX2 be found?

I've asked this question too, but I didn't seem to get a responce (which really makes me frustrated!!!)All I know is that I think it should be displaying the PAL logo. I tried download one using eMule, but I didn't have much luck... well, I downloaded a ps2 bios displaying PAL and used that for the emulator, but all it can do so far is load up the ps2 menu. And that's it, it doesn't run my ps2 game (FF-X, incase you wish to know).My best answer I can give to you is, if you have one, dump the ps2 bios from your console and use that for the emulator... which is kinda complicated.
