    Hello!

    Since PS2DEV is down, Is there any good info on how the PS2 BIOS works? o_o I have a slight feeling it's similar to the PSP's kernel.

    What do you want to know? The boot ROM (rom0:) contains the kernels for both the EE and IOP, and both processors share the same reset vector + bootstrap code (although the bootstrapping code will branch differently, depending on the CPU PRid).

    Whenever a website is down or gone for good, remember the Web Archive :)

    http://web.archive.org/web/20101020182537/http://ps2dev.org/

    (if a page within the website doesn't work, try with previous dates in the archive as it may have been archived in a previous run but not in the one you're looking at)
