# biosdrain
Builds are under the Action tabs, and are also provided as incremental releases.

## **Instructions**

Download the latest version of biosdrain under the GitHub releases page.

### - **For PS2LINK / PS2CLIENT users**

Execute biosdrain on the EE. For example: `ps2client execee host:biosdrain.elf`

biosdrain should automatically detect a host filesystem, and dump the files directly to your computer.

### - **For USB users (using uLaunchELF)**
Put the biosdrain.elf file onto a FAT32 formatted USB drive.

In uLaunchELF, navigate to `mass:` and execute the biosdrain.elf file you just transferred.

biosdrain should automatically detect a USB drive, and dump the files to the root of the USB drive.

### **Using the BIOS with PCSX2**
Simply download the files (if you've used a USB drive) back to your computer, and keep them somewhere safe so you don't have to do this process again.

<br/>

## **I politely ask that you do not share these files!**

<br/>

If the path to your bios was `D:\ps2bios\dump` you'd see one of the below.
