PS2 Exploit to run Unsigned Code

**zenogais** · August 16th, 2003

Someone has figured out how to run unsigned code on the PS2, all you need is a memory card and a valid PS1 disc to hijack the boot process. Check it out here http://www.0xd6.org/ps2-independence.html

Yeah.... I saw that. We are still debating whether to post it or not.

I don't think it really effects emulations(or does it?), but its some interesting info anyways.

Exophase · August 17th, 2003

I think this would be good news to post because it'll allow people to play emulators for PS2 without having to mod their PS2. So it's relevant... plus it could make extracting BIOSes more viable, perhaps.

True, someone could use this along with the PS2 internet hookup to possibly extract the BIOS and then email it to theirself or FTP it to their computer. I think it would make excellent news too.

There are easier ways to dump a bios

Possibly run PS1/2 games without a modchip, run every software made for PS2 that requires a modchip in fact (at least, to my understanding)

You can do so through the USB port of the PS2, but you need special software, which I won't post a link to, but by searching a bit on google, it shouldn't be hard to find

**zenogais** · August 17th, 2003

really?

dpence · August 18th, 2003

I've not quite figured out how this works....I mean I understand what it does, but I don't see what happens when you take "Control". It definately needs better documentation...

**Razor Blade** · August 18th, 2003

Yea maybe in n00b english?

Yea too much for me to handle But if this could be implemented into an emulator (PGEN) for example so we dont have to put in modchips.

Thats possible right?

dpence · August 18th, 2003

riiiiight....
lol

**hushypushy** · August 18th, 2003

is it possible to dump the PS2 bios through the firewire? i dont have a USB cord but i do have firewire....

scottlc · August 18th, 2003

I think that it would be possible. But there really isn't the demand since most people have USB, not everyone has FireWire.

**Kane** · August 18th, 2003

I'd rather do it that way. Hell I wish there were a load of PS2 utils for Firewire. I haven't been able to utilise my firewire ports too often...
