Where do I put PS2 Bios?

Support
1

It’s in the title. The game says it started then eventually says “game has quit” without any error message. When reading online about this, I realized I had to fetch the PS2 bios. Now that I have it, where do I put it? I couldn’t find the file path this post was talking about because I have Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit.

If you need any more information let me know, but I’m assuming all I need is a file path.

step1 - Select the PS2 Bios version in the Emulator among the USA version, Europe Version and Japan Version. step 2 - you need to select the ‘iso selector’ option. You will see a Browse option related to it. step 3 - It will automatically start your Sony PlayStation on the Emulator. ALL Steps i got from ps2-bios.net which is very helpful to locate & setup ps2 bios.

  1. Place the BIOS File:
  • For PCSX2 Emulator:
    1. Go to the PCSX2 installation directory.
    2. Find the “bios” folder (it might be in a folder named “PCSX2”).
    3. Place the BIOS file in this folder.
  1. Configure the Emulator:
  • Open the PCSX2 emulator.
  • Go to Config > Plugin/BIOS Selector.
  • Click on BIOS, and you should see the BIOS file listed there. Select it and save.
  1. Start the Emulator: You should now be able to run the emulator and play games.

If you’re using a different emulator, the process might be slightly different, but the general idea is to place the BIOS file in the designated folder of the emulator’s directory. Also You can read more in deatild guide on https://psbios.com/how-to-install-ps2-bios/ ill fount its very useful…

To use the PS2 BIOS with the PCSX2 emulator on Linux Mint 18.3, you need to place the BIOS files in a specific directory. Follow these steps:

  1. Locate the BIOS Directory: Open your file manager and navigate to the following path:

    ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/pcsx2/bios

  2. Create the Directory if Needed: If the bios folder does not exist, you will need to create it manually. You can do this by right-clicking in the pcsx2 folder and selecting “Create New Folder” or using the terminal command:

    mkdir -p ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/pcsx2/bios

  3. Copy the BIOS Files: Place your PS2 BIOS files (usually named something like SCPH-xxxxx.bin) into the bios folder you just created.

  4. Verify in PCSX2: Open the PCSX2 emulator, go to Config > Plugin/BIOS Selector, and check if the BIOS files are listed there. Select the appropriate BIOS version for your games.

Make sure to enable viewing hidden files in your file manager (usually by pressing Ctrl + H) so you can access the .local directory.
