While you should get the BIOS from your own PS2 (otherwise it is illegal from what I remember about emulator laws), if you want to play a game that has been region-locked for your PS2 you will need to download the correct BIOS online, if your too lazy to dump it from your PS2 you can get all the BIOS for all regions here.
These BIOS files allow emulators such as the fantastic PCSX2 to actually successfully run PS2 Games. The reason for this is that games tend to make calls to functions that are only available in the PS2’s BIOS. While what PS2 Bios you choose to use should make no significant changes to emulation, it does not hurt to have the ability to be able to switch and choose between the various different PS2 BIOS files. In fact running PCSX2 for instance in quick boot mode it skips the whole initial loading of the PS2 Bios. This allows you to launch games that may be out of region for that particular BIOS as it skips any sort of region checking that might of been in place. Please note: You only need one of these files, only obtain another PS2 BIOS if you are having troubles running games with your current PS2 BIOS.

Everyone knows, nowadays it’s easy to play PlayStation 2 game on your personal computer. The PS2 emulator is like its predecessor project PCSX “PlayStation Emulator” These are the audio, Graphics Card, Controls, DVD/CD drive, and USB FireWire ports. PCSX different plugins may produce different results in both compatibility and performance also. At present, PCSX is not compatible with PS1 (PlayStation 1) Games. PSX games can be played by using PSX with PS1 (PlayStation 1) Emulator. The main bottleneck in PS2 emulation is emulating the multi-processor PS2 on the PC x86 architecture. Although each processor can be emulated well on its own, synchronizing them is difficult, but not impossible.
Additionally, PS2 emulator called PCSX2 requires a copy of the PS2 BIOS, which is not available for download from the developers, due to copyright-related legal issues. Futures:- Bug fix Optimize graphics boost game Improve graphics Add more games Support save status.
