Exactly.. We want and not we need.. We don't need a psx1 emu, but we wanted one, then got one, then several others, now we need the one we got.. I sure can't go back to playing psx games on a real psx..

yeah thats right!!!

WE WANT A PS2 EMU AND A GAMECUBE EMU!!!

Jonys · December 12th, 2001

Yep...a Game Cube Emulator would be a great idea.....
But i don't think we are already prepared for PS2 emulators yet....

I am not sure, probably ps2 emulation is far too away for the moment. I am just curious if anyone has successfully extracted the PS2 BIOS? How big is its size?

This webpage also describes some of the details of PS2 hardwares:

The BIOS ROM of the first PS2 model is dumped, it's about 4MB in size, and is supposedly partially compressed.

zero0w · January 24th, 2002

4MB BIOS file? What the....

It sounds like Sony put many more instructions into PS2 man... harder to emulate for sure.

Thanks for the info.

ToM_E · January 25th, 2002

I say yes now...because ppl who wants to play ps2 games that doesnt own a ps2 should be able to play ps2 games.

Nezzar · January 26th, 2002

Uh yeah.
I don't need a ps2emu since my lousy pc would not be able to handle it anyway. Additionally I'll get a PS2 in a month or two. If there should be a ps2emu in this time may be I'll try it...

**Shiori** · January 26th, 2002

I want a PS2 emu, but only because PS2 repair bills (the famous lens price quote that gives you mini heart attacks

) are expensive.

Why repair bills?! The console should come with a warranty.

CD · January 27th, 2002

The PS2's warranty is only for 90 days..

Bubsy · January 27th, 2002

so it passed the limit huh?! But how did u mess up the lens?:eyes:

And about how much is it ? Just dont gimme something like 150USD .....

CD · January 27th, 2002

The flat rate for PS2 repairs of any sort is something like $110. Plus shipping, tax, diagnostic fees, it comes to around $130-150..

Ridiculous, really.

Bubsy · January 27th, 2002

I guess Sony likes chipping people off:eek:

Depending on one's view, an emu might be needed, or wanted.

I have a really old Atari 1040STfm around and unfortunately, all the floppies I had got damaged from moisture (I shouldn't have left them in the garage!

). Except one, but even that seems kind of damaged. So, how to play those old relics again? Emu was the choice. There are programs that can copy ST images back to floppies, but you must have double-density double-sided 3 1/2 floppies. Since the only ones I have are damaged, and high-density floppies don't work with the programs, my only solution was to find an emu that ran the games. I'd rather play them on the Atari, but sometimes there's no other choice. (note that I don't use the machine a lot, but sometimes I spend an hour or two playing arkanoid 2...

)

In the PS2's case... I think there's no need for the emu, although it would be nice to have one. And even if someone's trying to code it, that will take some years to accomplish.

- 4MB bios - for the EURO/US version of the PS2 or the JAP version? /me thinks european/us bios is bigger, as all the dvd movie software is already on the machine... for jap version a memcard was needed. correct me if I'm wrong!
