Ps2 Bios with epsxe?

emucrazy · May 4th, 2002

Is there a ps2 bios available on the net,if yes can't we use it to play ps2 games with epsxe?:confused:

**Betamax** · May 4th, 2002

Yes there are bios'. No it won't work. That would be the equivalent of soldering the ps2 boot chip in a psx.

Its going to be a good few years before any emu will run ps2 games on the pc.

Keep them Shiori, u don't know when you r gonna use them, and that it can be soon.

**Shiori** · May 4th, 2002

Heh, prolly by that time I should have enough money to buy an actual PS2.

If there is any bios of PS2 in the net is illegal, and...
DO YOU THINK A PS EMULATOR CAN RUN PS2 GAMES USING A PS2 BIOS?

zerocopy · May 5th, 2002

nothings impossible but this time im sure their wrong.

**Bgnome** · May 5th, 2002

BIOS =/= Entire Friggin Console
its only a small, but integral, part. as beta said, try soldering a ps2 bios into a psx and see what happens..

REi_FoX · May 5th, 2002

i think i wont run... first ps1 cant run dvd second it does not have the same hardware as the ps2 has and last its like playing EPSXE in and i486 PC

Syed Fawad · May 5th, 2002

Yeah sure, and the games (if they run which is 99.9999999999% impossible) will run at .005 FPS.
And after 5 mins you'll get the messege: "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY"

Jalek · May 5th, 2002

I remember the psemu emulator...4-5 yrs ago it was the same!
Games rans at 4-6 fps (approximately) and everybody thoughts about the psx emulation future (and bleem! had open up our eyes...) then CVGS comes as a dream and (luckly) Epsxe comes as the emulator master (!!!) and now we can play a game at 50-60 fps. We must wait and all will happen again

**Shiori** · May 5th, 2002

Well, it WILL happen, barring any lawsuits and stuff like that, the only question is, are we all patient enough? I know I'm not, so I'm going to buy a console for the holidays this year.

Jalek · May 5th, 2002

mmm.....maybe you're right, maybe not...

Player-X · May 5th, 2002

I just wait for the port version,It has good FPS rate and has PC priviliges (Mods,Multiplayer and stuff......)

**Chrono Archangel** · May 5th, 2002

Hey i was wondering if we could use a PS2 Bios in ePSXe and play PSX games? Cuz if im not mistakin, PS@ can play PSX games, right?

**Shiori** · May 5th, 2002

Why don't you try?

As an aside, before anyone else PMs me about the BIOS, let me tell you right from the start that:

1. I'm not sharing it. Go look for your own.

2. It could even be just a dummy file. So until PCSX2 actually uses a PS2 BIOS we can't be sure if the one I'm holding is the real deal.

Isn't this the question, the starter of the thread asked? I don't get this.

Ratman_tf · May 5th, 2002

The chip architecture is all different. While the PS2 is backwards compatible with PS1, it probably does it with a mini-PSemulator hard coded into a ROM chip somewhere. Any PS2 emu is going to have to be written from almost the ground up.

In other words, I'd bet 50 bucks the answer is 'no'.

All speculation on my part, but I think I'm right here.

**Kane** · May 5th, 2002

As stated in other threads, the PS "emulation" is done by a seperate chip in the IO controller of the PS2. Rather than emulating it, they just chucked a PS1 in there, and allowed the PS2 to do bilinear filtering.

**Kanodin** · May 5th, 2002

perhaps VGS is the PSX emulator in the PS2 ahh ya never know.
