Just did this today, worked perfectly, except my bios dump did take about 5-8 mins. I was starting to worry, hehe. All is great 👍great vid!

I don’t own a ps2 but I’ve found your channel so interesting and helpful, not only in series x retroarch game support I couldn’t stop watching the video. Thank you! This is really awesome, keep up the great work!

[sanctusstreams]

I’m not sure why, but the DVD-R wasn’t working for me, but I tried it with a DVD+R anyways and it worked! thanks for the video!

You are an absolute GOAT, I was able to finally get my ps2 emulator running literally one day before I had to go back to college. Now I can play my games while I'm there, this guide deserves more love!

As if the beard were not magnificent enough, you wore that glorious Pokemon hat. This video should come with a warning about overwhelming awesomeness. Thanks the updated tutorial; this is a much easier process than homebrewing a PS2!

Hey there. I have a USB sd card reader (no san disk usb). Do I use a tf card or sd card to copy the DUMPBIOS-MASS.ELF file onto? Those are the options my card reader has. Thanks in advance

[starburst]

THANK YOU so easy to follow 👍🏼 appreciate it!

[Telepi.Gyerek]

thanks champ :D got my gran turismo on my steam deck with my own bios ..everything in the good way.. ofc it is easier to click an ddownload...but the journey to buy an external dvd, and do everything ..i also got my savedata so i can continue where i left everything back in 2005- :D

[ajjimenez]

I'm on the part where I'm supposed to click the dump bios mass file through my PS2 console with the launchELF burn disc and it's not pulling up for me. Help me please!? :(

[adamcolejones]

I'm getting an error when I insert the disk saying- please insert a ps or ps2 format disk
I'm using CD-R I thought the software description said CD-R would work??

[burger_kinghorn]

While you're at it, can you copy regular save game files on a PS2 memory card?

[martin.aguilar.a]

When I insert my blank disc, it says “Disc Not Empty” and my Disc is empty. What should I do ? How can I fix this ?

[MYTHFROMNATURE]

I'm sorry for the obnoxious question, what If the ps2 that BIOS I want to dump is modded, would the BIOS is still retrievable?

[CardiacYew-xtzq]

I’ve got a laptop that doesn’t have a disk reader, is it possible to use an external disk reader for the bios file step?

[VariousRandoms]

at 4:06... the file to download isnt looking like that on your video, it has 3 videos attached instead ....Can you re-make a video for this 2023?

[hjulio]

So I won’t be able to play ps2 games at all on my Xbox without doing all this?

[acegaming]

Hey, I figured out my last thing I asked but, I got 1 more thing. In some on my games, the controls on my Xbox controller (like aiming in shooting games, or selecting game modes!) are inverted, is there any way to fix that?

[anton]

Thank you! Emulation is a really just fantastic.

[Darksage]

The new biosdrain simply did not work for me and there is nothing resolving it in the forums, until it gets fixed I'd recommend using the old biosdump that's used in this video, it'll say your bios is Japanese but it hasn't affected anything for me so far.
