Thanks! This is much easier than the whole swapmagic way.

[matsastral]

Thank you so much for the guide! Now I am able to legally enjoy gauntlet dark legacy with higher resolution. I used two of your guides this one and how to dump my own ps2 games.😊

[bYzrEel]

Wow! This is an easy setup I should’ve used! Thank you dude

[omerberkay]

helped a lot, thanks! I couldn't trust any of these rom sites to download ps2 bios so this was the perfect solution for me.

how to rob a bank legally without a bank nearby

Wouldn't using decryption to leech those bios files out of PS3's firmware constitute a DMCA violation Section 12 related to using encryption to access content?

[Brendan]

Followed all steps and got the BIOS from the PS3 video. BIOS Selection only shows automatic. When I try to launch any of the game roms they won't launch. Any suggestions?

[Itzandrw]

Help, but i cannot download the PS3 thinghy

[utkuozdemir]

So instead of needing a ps2/1 you need a ps3..?

[Zakuman]

i have problem. With this guide im able to obtain only PS2 bios. How can i generate PS1/X BIOS?

[gigantor]

is the bio clam tool only compatible with linux and windows? is there any workaround with Mac?

[htth]

There's no option to download the PS3 System Software, is there anything I can do about it?

[Llama]

My bat file failed idk what I did wrong

[Esho_]

Will this bios work for iphone app Gamma?
Thanks

[steved]

For Linux only the ps1 bin file populates after running the firmware_bios_claim, sh. It shows the message "PS2 emulator decryption failed? Decrypted elfs not found". Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

[xTxShinaGamixTx]

Why doesn’t anybody show the installing of pcxs2. That’s where I’m having the issues an every video they skip this strip.

[pierreking]

What about linux? How do u extract rpcs3 appimage?

[oewowuz]

howdy, im having a bit of trouble getting the "rpsc3" program working, when I run it, it says, "The code execution cannot proceed because vulkan-1.dll was not found." Where would I find the vulkan-1.dll?

[ClericOfPholtus]

When I try to launch RSPC3 it says I'm missing a Vulkan file and that I should reinstall
I do and try to launch and it gives me the same message. Any idea what's up?

[the-real-John-Oconnor]

Even though it says Japan, will I still be able to play my USA games on the emulator?
