![]() ![]() Ive also included some extra goodies that i saw pop up on a few forums, like the game genie. This will be good enough to get you running everything from NES up to PS2. I've made my own lightweight BIOS Kickstarter Pack (11.8MB) and have uploaded it to the Internet Archive. Here is what I can offer you as an alternative: size: 346MB (zipped, expands to 983MB) but you can choose to manually download specific files. ![]() ![]() If you really want to play PS2 (and PS1) you'll have to use a separate link, and again, you will have to go in and download each file (about 10 total), or, if you know how to use a torrent you can download them all at once, and drag-n-drop. In this case, because we are using Internet Archive, we can see the contents of the zip file and cherry pick the files we want, you won't have to download the entire. So if you dont want to play playstation, you dont really need to worry. but I couldnt find those PS2 BIOS files, not all of them at least, and I couldn't find the one that the tutorial marks as the most important. Playstation 2 capability JUST got added this year, so that's why you would want a recent version.īut here's the thing, to make this tutorial I wanted to make sure it would have everything, so i looked through the listed files, and even downloaded it. This is the most recently updated link I have found on for a RetroArch BIOS Pack. cons: massive file, potentially weird site (but i havent noticed anything).pros: you'll have everything you need and then some*, simple, drag-n-drop.That being said, a security check only alerts to a few trackers on the site, that are both google products for running ads, so at least from a security level, a site like buzzfeed is far more menacing than this one. This was also before I saw the light when it comes to Internet Archive and safety. It's more like an amalgamation of links intended to get people over to amazon and buying stuff through their affiliate links. Like, it doesnt seem to be created by actual gamers, or humans for that matter. In addition, upon revisiting the site and looking around, it just seems slightly suss. I dont think im going to use it, but if youre interested, here are the arcade games it can play One of the reasons the Retropacks BIOS dump is so dang big is because it includes an additional compressed folder called mame2003plus.zip (500MB+), that has the emulator core for old stand-up arcade systems, "with an emphasis on high performance and broad compatibility on mobile devices". This was the first one i downloaded from in a rush, and it had everything I needed. Here are two popular sites for BIOS, with some caveats: Luckily for you, im completely illegitamate, and not a coward. The reason people add them for other systems is usually so they can see the origina loading screen from the console for the added charm, i guess.Īnd I wouldnt have had to write all this if you could just find the files easily, but most legit sites and forums wont link to them because theyre "copywritten material". What you NEED know is some systems need extra files for their emulators to work, mostly the ones that run CD games (PS, PS2, Dreamcast etc). it stands for Basic-Input-Output-Something. In fact, more than half the consoles listed dont even need BIOS files, because the emulator already has it baked in.ĭo you really need to know what BIOS is? no. ![]() So you can try and find another source for this stuff, but with the links I have here you'll be set on NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Game Gear, PS1, PS2, PSP, Dreamcast, Nintendo DS, and all the Gameboys. I'll be honest with you Im still not completely 100% there with all the BIOS stuff, BUT ive done enough to get every system I want to play working just fine. ![]()
