Definition

Any video game console emulator website is prohibited from publishing or sharing BIOS files, as we all know. PCSX2’s official website does not have any BIOS files for the PlayStation 2 console emulator. However, most game emulators will not work without the BIOS file.

So, in this post, I’ve gathered and shared (in one package, with most of them, organized in folders with PAL/NTSC system marks) all PS2 BIOS files for free download, the majority of which are universal for all kinds of PS2 emulators.

These BIOS files cover all PlayStation 2 models and regions (including USA, Japan, Europe, and China, Hong Kong editions), and they are sufficient to meet the needs of any PS2 emulator player. I’d venture to say that this PS2 BIOS files AiO package is the most comprehensive on the Internet, and it includes everything that was tested on the PCSX2 emulator and found to be functional!
