Please see the Readme's included with the releases, along with the video guide bellow, on how to install and use this iteration for yourself.
Thanks to this tool, it is now possible to easily obtain a PS2 (and PS1) BIOS from PS3 Firmware without the need to obtain one from a PS2 Console through an easy to execute plugin for RPCS3, named Firmware BIOS Claim. This means all you would need to play a PS2 game legally is access to a computer.
