Legally, PCSX2 requires you to have a PlayStation 2 for two reasons, one as a license to play PlayStation 2 games, and the other for you to dump the BIOS from, as PCSX2 requires a copy of the PlayStation 2 BIOS. Once you have PCSX2 running, however, there is no technical reason you need a PlayStation 2.

The playstation one was a miniaturized version of the best selling playstation console.

Is the PlayStation 3 the best console?

AnswersYES PlayStation 3 is the best console so far. People who own an Xbox 360 hate it because it can do better than them. They say it's horrible, but it has better graphics, free online, free downloads, and fewer errors. People who own an Xbox 360 and who hate PlayStation 3 say its bad, but the truth is they don't own a PlayStation 3, and so they don't really know.---This question is more a matter of opinion and preference some like the 360 for halo and gears of war and others prefer high resolution and a ton of good games to play.---Well, when it comes out it will be the PS4.The PS4 takes you into the game.Actually there is no PS4 coming out soon or whatever will be the name of a new Playstation console. The console will first appear at electronic shows way before any release and preorders will be available way before any release as they were for the new Playstation Vita

If you own a PS2 how would you get the BIOS files for your PS2 Emulator on your PC?

You could either dump the bios yourself, which could take a little patience, or download from the link below. Note that the only LEGAL way of obtaining a bios is dumping it from your OWN Playstation 2 console.DO NOT ask where to get the bios in the PCSX2 forum, because it's against the rules. That's because the ps2 BIOS is a copyrighted material of Sony and that makes its distribution illegal, meaning we could get in trouble if it was found out that we were supplying people illegally with bios files.Getting the bios needs to come from your machine according to copyright protections. Procedures can be found at the link for the best emulator the PCSX2. PCSX2 is a Playstation 2 'emulator', a free program that tries to replicate the Playstation 2 console to enable you to play PS2 games on your PC. If you do not have the skill to even download bios think about forgetting PS2 emulation. It will not be like playing a PS2 and instead is a lengthy and time consuming process. See the PCSX2 home site and try the getting started link. or the other link for the guide and under the guide bios configuration section there is a link for "A new Bios dumper is already available that can dump your PS2 Bios,ROM1,ROM2,EROM and NVM. Get it HERE"
