How to Get PS2 Bios on Steam Deck
Honestly, this is pretty sketchy territory. Steam Deck, mighty as it is, doesn't officially support PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulation directly because, well, you need the PS2 BIOS files, which are copyrighted by Sony. Getting them without owning the original PS2 or without Sony’s permission is a no-go zone legally. So, my advice? Stick to the games available on Steam or explore other legal emulation options that don't require BIOS files you can't legally obtain.

Nope, not gonna touch this one with a 10-foot pole. Getting PS2 BIOS without diving into legal gray areas? Impossible.
As someone who's dabbled in emulation, your best bet for PS2 games on Steam Deck is to focus on those ports officially available. Dipping into BIOS waters gets murky fast. Own the console? Cool, rip the BIOS yourself. Otherwise, stick to the high road.
Real talk: Just own a PS2 legally or get the BIOS directly from your own console. That way, you're not stepping on any legal landmines. Plus, it's a legit excuse to dust off the old console and take a trip down memory lane!
