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.😊
Yo, I'm looking to do the same thing. I used to love playing Gauntlet: Dark Legacy when I was a kid. I actually still have my old fat ps2, it doesn't play/work anymore but if I can get the bios from that and still play, I would love to have a Gauntlet series going here on my channel. If I can't get the bios from my PS2 I would still like to have a legal way of playing and featuring on my channel. Decided to edit this post instead of making a new post. I was able to extract the BIOs for PS1 and 2, however Norton security really didn't like me trying to run everything and it was an entire work around to enable Norton to run them. Now I have to find a way to dump all my old PS2 games so I can actually play these games with my new PS2 BIOs.
@@delusionalblob3730 talking about the vid, ig unless Sony has a policy against using the bios like that, the main problem anyway was piracy of the bios but here we're technically getting it from Sony, bit loophole-ish eh
@@arrivederciheheeeeee5809 It's probably a legal grey area like most activities relating to backing up video games. It could be seen as circumventing some kind of TPM, but then there is also Fair Use and the fact that you aren't sharing it with anybody. We'll probably never know for sure because no company is ever going to take someone to court for backing up their own games/extracting BIOS files and so no case law will ever be created. That said, I think we can safely say that this method is closer to being legal than downloading it off a ROM site and nobody will be able to authoritatively tell you that what you're doing is wrong (even Nintendo won't say outright that backing up video games is illegal). Another way of looking at it is if you want to put yourself on the bell-curve of morality you would probably be in 95th percentile plus for gamers that use emulators if you get your BIOS this way. There are a lot of people that are going to sink first before you go down when you're in the 95th percentile!
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?
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?
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
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?
@@ArchadesGames Naw Desktop, I found a way around it though. Now I've just got the issue with XBSX2.0 not being responsive to controller effects, it's not frozen it just treats it like it doesn't exist.
@@ArchadesGames Thank you for all of your help. I successfully set up PCSX2 and ripped/dumped all of my ps2 games to the pc with imgburn. Thank you for all your videos and your helpful comments.
@@ArchadesGames Hello Again! After 5 wonderful months of playing PCSX2 I have another question. Do these bios, the 'PS3_PS2_emu_bios.bin' work with booting to bios? I mean where the classic PS2 interface shows up. Thank you for all your help with emulation!
Dang I’m so close… every time I open the “claim.bat” file, I see in red letters “The argument ‘./firmware_bios_claim.ps1’ to the -File parameter does not exist” Any advice?
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?

Thanks! This is much easier than the whole swapmagic way.
Oh yeah, way simpler!
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.
Happy gaming!

Make sure the emulators only use fast boot.
i have problem. With this guide im able to obtain only PS2 bios. How can i generate PS1/X BIOS?
Help , but i cannot download the PS3 thinghy
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?
...
Amazing! thanks man
Happy gaming!
There's no option to download the PS3 System Software, is there anything I can do about it?
Why doesn’t anybody show the installing of pcxs2. That’s where I’m having the issues an every video they skip this strip.
Because we have whole playlists dedicated to it already.

i cant even transform the program to a folder, how did you did it?
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?
You need a GPU capable of using Vulkan. You on a laptop?
@@ArchadesGames Naw Desktop, I found a way around it though. Now I've just got the issue with XBSX2.0 not being responsive to controller effects, it's not frozen it just treats it like it doesn't exist.
So instead of needing a ps2/1 you need a ps3..?
My bat file failed idk what I did wrong
i cant download the ps bios tool? where else can i find a new download link?
like the bat file. is there anywhere else to download?
@@btatewholetime did you find another source? i cant download it either
is the bio clam tool only compatible with linux and windows? is there any workaround with Mac?
Did you find an answer ?
@omaralmogren yesh I forgor to reply 💀 I essentially used a virtual machine build of windows to get the files and transfered over Google drive 👍
Will this bios work for iphone app Gamma?
Thanks
so these bios cant run in retroarch?
They work fine on RA, check the video chapters
@@ArchadesGames sorry ik ps1 can but i was referring to ps2
It uses the same files as Standalone but RA PCSX2 shouldn't be used over standalone on any platform.
Even though it says Japan, will I still be able to play my USA games on the emulator?
They are region free BIOS so yup!
@@ArchadesGames Thank you!

What about linux? How do u extract rpcs3 appimage?
I don't use Linux so I can't help with it specifically.
Rpcs3 is just showing up as a white file
Dang I’m so close… every time I open the “claim.bat” file, I see in red letters
“The argument ‘./firmware_bios_claim.ps1’ to the -File parameter does not exist”
Any advice?
Is it because I downloaded the 4.9 software update instead of the 4.89? 4.9 is the only one I see available.
It shouldn't matter if it is 4.90. I would try to do the initial install of RPCS3 again personally.
@@ArchadesGames Finally got it to work!! Now I can play Twinsanity😭Thank you so much for the tutorial, it was a lifesaver! Subscribed!!!
Happy gaming!
Hey!
Can I use those in xbx2?
Yes
Eak!
Is this %100 legal
Until someone takes the matter to court and makes it unconditionally illegal
At 4:37 there's another file for me called "ps3_ps2_emu_bios_retail_patched.bin." Should I leave it in the folder?
Might as well give it a try as well
@@ArchadesGames Never mind I left it there. Everything works great! Thanks for the tutorial
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?
It is included with your GPU driver unless you're using an old Intel igpu
I'm using the Parrales VM on my mac mini for windows 11. Idk if that might be the issue. @@ArchadesGames
