PS2 BIOS dumper

biosdrain

Instructions

Download the latest version of biosdrain under the GitHub releases page.

- For PS2LINK / PS2CLIENT users

Execute biosdrain on the EE. For example: ps2client execee host:biosdrain.elf

biosdrain should automatically detect a host filesystem, and dump the files directly to your computer.

- For USB users (using uLaunchELF)

Put the biosdrain.elf file onto a FAT32 formatted USB drive.

In uLaunchELF, navigate to mass: and execute the biosdrain.elf file you just transferred.

biosdrain should automatically detect a USB drive, and dump the files to the root of the USB drive.

Using the BIOS with PCSX2

Simply download the files (if you've used a USB drive) back to your computer, and keep them somewhere safe so you don't have to do this process again.

I politely ask that you do not share your BIOS files!

If the path to your bios was D:\ps2bios\dump you'd see one of the below.

Notes

This software has been based off of the work from PS2Ident licensed under AFL license-3.0 . The Sysman and Romdrv module source have been taken from there as well.

Issues and pull requests are very much welcome. The issue tracker may be used by users to report successful dumping as well, as I only have a single 39K to test on. Please make sure your model doesn't already have a report though.
