{{tip|Interesting fact: 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.

Apart from the main BIOS file (''SCPH-XXXX.bin'' must be exactly 4Mb of size) your BIOS files collection may include ''rom1.bin'',''rom2.bin'',''erom.bin'' and ''SCPH-XXXXX.nvm'' files (note that ''XXXXX'' is the version of your BIOS, e.g. ''SCPH-34004.nvm'' and ''SCPH-34004.bin''). The last file contains some PS2 common and regional settings and it can also be created by the PCSX2 itself after you configure your BIOS while emulating it (set time zone, language, etc.) but it would still be fine to dump this file directly from your console. | Apart from the main BIOS file (''SCPH-XXXX.bin'' must be exactly 4Mb of size) your BIOS files collection may include ''rom1.bin'',''rom2.bin'',''erom.bin'' and ''SCPH-XXXXX.nvm'' files (note that ''XXXXX'' is the version of your BIOS, e.g. ''SCPH-34004.nvm'' and ''SCPH-34004.bin'').
