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.
