would it be ok to dump my brothers bios for my own use?
and may I make a thread on dumping the bios for people who couldn't get the cd to boot?
or submit the guide to be merged to this sticky to help others? (i have a file to upload too that will make things easier)
when using the swapmagic 3.6 to boot the disc i burned i got a "not a valid ps2 disc" error
and i tried many burns, unzipping iso files, differrent media etc and none worked. but i found a way
I used swapmagic to load the boot elf from usb and that allowed me to get the dumpbios from the cd (dumpbios.elf doesn't work from usb but only through the boot utility)
there's a special way of making .elf files to boot on swapmagic
I should note that i have a lot of bios files, all from own my ps2s
I have 2 european ones, a slimline ps2 one
and 2 ntsc bios files .I bought the ps2s as it is illegal to mod chip here and i hadn't discovered swapmagic then 
and there is slight differences in game, like my european brick ps2 bios has less stutters in games
(i know this shouldn't be true, but it's what i've experienced)
