=Bios configuration= | Here are the plugins that handle the Firewire port of the PS2. | ||
<br /> Only the ''FWnull v0.7.0'' is included in the release package. There are no other Firewire plugins available or in development. | |||

=Bios= | |||
In this list you will find your bios image, if you have one and have put it in the selected bios folder. | |||
<br />Note that the only <span style="color:red"> '''LEGAL''' </span>way of obtaining a bios is dumping it from your '''OWN''' Playstation 2 console. '''DO NOT''' ask where to get the bios in the PCSX2 forum, because it's against the [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Announcement-Global-Forum-Rules rules]. That's because the PS2 BIOS is a copyrighted material of Sony and that makes its distribution illegal, meaning we could get in trouble if it was found out that we were supplying people illegally with bios files. If your BIOS image does not even appear on list even after you have selected your right bios directory, it is an invalid image. | |||
<br />'''Attention''': It is recommended that you have all files for BIOS newer than the ''SCPH-10000.bin''. You will probably be able to run the bios or games without having them but there may be a chance that these affect compatibility somehow. This includes ''rom1.bin'',rom2.bin'',''erom.bin'' and a ''SCPH-XXXXX.nvm'' file where ''XXXXX'' is the version of your bios(eg ''SCPH-34004.nvm''). This last file can be also created from PCSX2 after you configure your bios (set time zone, language, etc.) but it's better if you have this file directly ripped from your Playstation 2. Once more <span style="color:red">'''DO NOT ASK'''</span> where to get these files, since they are part of the BIOS too. | |||

<br />Here's a quick explanation about what these files do by '''auMatt''': | |||

Basically the first Japaneese PS2 had a single bios and the dvd player etc were installed on the memcard. | |||
The PS2's after that first model had the Dvd Player software installed in a separate ROM (EROM) which is encrypted. | |||
The ROM1 is an additional part of the BIOS that contains some extra stuff like ID's for DVD Player version etc. | |||
ROM2 is the same really but I think only available in Chinese PS2's. | |||
Hope this helps. | |||
A new Bios dumper is already available that can dump your PS2 Bios,ROM1,ROM2,EROM and NVM. Get it [http://pcsx2.net/download/releases/tools.html here]. | |||
'''Note''': For maximum compatibility it is recommended that you use a BIOS image '''different''' than SCPH10000.BIN which is the oldest one. That's because with this BIOS there are problems in memory card emulation and in other sections. | |||

<br />So now we are done Configuring all plugins for PCSX2. | |||
==Bios configuration== | |||
On the BIOS tab of the Plugin/BIOS selector window, you'll see an identical screen to the last one of the First Time Configuration wizard, with the same usability, meaning to select a BIOS file from the list and change the folder where PCSX2 tries to find your BIOS images. | |||
=Folders= | |||
Here you can change the folders where some of the files that PCSX2 creates will be stored at. By unchecking ''Use default setting'' you can click the ''Browse'' button to find a folder of your choice where PCSX2 will store: Save states, snapshots and logs/dumps respectively. | |||
