A BIOS you provide.

One file: the console's original 1 KiB internal BIOS. Ultimate Emulator ships none, and there is no replacement yet.

  1. Open Manage BIOS

    In Systems, select Odyssey² and choose Manage BIOS. Its firmware page lists each file the system uses and whether it is required.

  2. Choose the file you own

    Check What file do I need?, then use Choose BIOS File, or Choose Firmware Folder if you keep your firmware together.
