How to use PCSX2 without dumping your own BIOS?
August 7th, 2016
Download the BIOS. I doubt anyone dumps them, just as an anti-piracy thing they’ll not link you to it with the emulator.

But PCSX2 says you can’t play with a DOWNLOADED BIOS, you have to dump it yourself, but is that really true? I searched ps2 bios on google and IMO the 1st link should be most proper/best, but I can’t download from that link, so I requested it here: http://www.google.com?p=75816595#75816595

They say that as an anti-piracy measure to try and prevent them from being shut down, the same way piracy groups say you should only use their files to “test” and buy later. You can 100% use downloaded BIOS (assuming they’re legit), as I’ve done it myself with a number of emulators, including PCSX2.
It’s risky Googling it as you don’t know if the file you’re going to get is legit. Anti-piracy groups will flood Google with fake links to put people off. Emuparadise is a trusted source for emulation so you can guarantee it’s a legit BIOS dump.
I’ve been using it for a couple of years and I don’t even have a PS2 All that is just talk. Of course it works with downloaded BIOS. It’s just the same as if you dumped it yourself, only someone else has done it for you.
