Dumping and emulation of the SCPH-90000 BIOS
The SCPH-90000 BIOS can be dumped from the console using various methods, such as using a modchip, a swap disc, or a memory card exploit. The dumped BIOS can then be used to emulate the PS2 on a PC or other devices using software such as PCSX2, Play!, or DamonPS2. However, dumping and emulating the BIOS may be illegal in some regions, depending on the copyright laws and agreements. Therefore, users should exercise caution and discretion when performing these actions.
