systems:ps2 [2023/02/01 02:52] – [BIOS] add note for non-functional BIOSes atarisystems:ps2 [2024/02/16 00:56] (current) – PS2 BIOS for Batocera 39 lbrpdx

 ===== BIOS ===== ===== BIOS =====
 +==== Batocera 39 and later ====
 +We simplified the BIOS requirements with Batocera 39. From now on, you need to put your BIOS files in ''/userdata/bios/ps2/'' (they used to be in ''/userdata/bios/'' in previous Batocera versions).
 +
 +We strongly recommend using the latest (REDUMP) BIOS for better emulation and depending on your region:
 +  * USA: ''ps2-0230a-20080220.bin''
 +  * EUR: ''ps2-0230e-20080220.bin'' or ''ps2-0250e-20100415.bin''
 +  * JAP: ''ps2-0230j-20080220.bin''
 +
 +Regarding PS2 emulation:
 +
 +  * The USA BIOS can play NTSC and PAL games (European games will have a glitch on the PlayStation logo)
 +  * The EUR BIOS can only play PAL games
 +  * The JAP BIOS can only play NTSC games
 +
 +You can also use a "region-free" EMU-BIOS PS2 ''ps3_ps2_emu_bios.bin'' available in the PS3 firmware, but warning: Fast Boot mode (or skip bios logo) must be enabled.
 +
 +As the USA-region BIOS can run every game, only this one will be checked by Batocera 39:
 +
 +^ MD5 checksum ^ Share file path ^ Description ^
 +|''21038400dc633070a78ad53090c53017'' | ''bios/ps2/ps2-0230a-20080220.bin'' | PS2 firmware binary |
 +
 +==== Batocera 38 and older ====
 +
 +For older versions of Batocera (38 and older), the following BIOS files are checked:
  
 ^ MD5 checksum ^ Share file path ^ Description ^ ^ MD5 checksum ^ Share file path ^ Description ^

 +===== Texture packs =====
 +
 +Texture packs replace the textures in a game with other (usually higher resolution) textures. (FIXME which emulators available support this? Just PCSX2?)
 +
 +Texture packs go into the PCSX2 config folder appropriate to the game: ''system/configs/PCSX2/textures/<GameCode>''. For example if replacing the texture in the game God of War, they would go into the ''system/configs/PCSX2/textures/SCUS-97399'' folder. (FIXME how do we find out the GameCode?)
 +
 +(FIXME aren't there options that need to be enabled?)
