hacking ps2 bios

**KainXS** · 10-31-2006,12:25 PM

i just want to let you guys know that i have taken up the project on reverse engineering the ps2 bios
so far, i can only change the default boot text, its not hard at all

but while playing around i keep on finding the initials K.S.
does anyone know who this could be

all you have to do is extract the bios and pop it into a text editor

did u extract it with a programmer or whot

@jenko, there is a program what can dump the bios image from ps2 afaik

sure, it's not hard to change the strings in the bios image as long as it is not encrypted nor compressed...of course, there shouldn't be any checksum code (or you can generate the code)

if you can fully hack the bios of ps2, you might be able to create a custom code for ps2 or very fast ps2 emulator

Who cares who K.S. is!??! are you sure it's "." 0x2e and not just a nonvisual character?
