Youre welcome, but i tried it and it didnt work for me i had to buy Swap Magic 3.6 -_-
If anyone else needs a way to get the CD to work on PLaystation 2, swap magic is about 30-40 dollars. If you have a fat PLaystation 2 consider yourself lucky, all you need is a slide card, which you can make yourself ( i made mine, i used a wal mart gift card)
If you have a slim youll need a flip top cover or something else.
Anyway if anyone needs swap magic:

DUMPING YOUR BIOS THROUGH USB
Step 3: USB Mass Storage Device
Your Flash Drive should : - Have atleast +8MB Storage Space
- Be Formatted into FAT/32
- Been allocated the Maximum Space Available. i.e, Have No partitions
Note: This is an Important Step, Scroll Down to mass:/ and Select O.
When You selected the mass:/ directory, it should go in to the device and should be able to be explored as in the following Screenshot. If you are not able to do so, you must check whether it has been formatted to FAT/32. If it is try changing the Flash Drive into the second USB hole.
Now press X and go back. Browse to cdfs:/. This is the Directory of the Inserted disc. Inside the CDFS Directory you should have, DUMPBIOS-MASS.ELF. Select It and Press O
Once You Have pressed O. You would have come to the Second Screen But slightly different Which you would notice. The DUMPBIOS-MASS.ELF would be selected in the Default Boot
Now Press up twice, or a lot more times down and at the OK function press O. Now you should come up with this screen
All you gotta do now is wait for 10 seconds and If you did it correctly Your Bios would be Dumped.

I have swap magic for japanese playstation 2 and the BIOS dumping CD. Cd seems to be working fine on PS2, but when i go into mass directory it freezes every time. I have a 1 GB USB storage device empty(no data on it), bought brand new for this purpose (BIOS dumping), and i formatted it to fat 32 with the highest allocation i COULD on my computer. Ive allocated it both to default and to the largest i could : 8192.
Every time the program needs to access my USB device the program freezes: this would be in both the mass process and the cdfs process. Though interestingly it doesnt say that the dump failed like it does when no USB device is inserted. It just stays where it is for hours.
What am i doing wrong? DO i need a different storage device? Is it not working because USB device is being formatted on a US computer rather than Japanese computer?
Does anyone have a screenshot of what i should see when the dump is successful?
I have recorded my DUMP attemmpts ill try to host them on youtube or something.
