The SCPH-5501 [NTSC-U/C] is the BIOS used in PlayStation consoles made for the United States and Canada. The BIOS is a program that helps the PS start up and run games. It controls the game disc, loading memory cards, and making sure the system works properly. If you’re using a real PS2 from North America, this BIOS is already inside the console. But if you’re using an emulator, you need to get this BIOS file and set it up. This BIOS also checks if the game is from the right region, so it won’t play games from Japan or Europe unless the system or emulator is changed.
