I have an ELF utility called DUMPBIOS.elf, which is supposed to dump the BIOS of a PlayStation 2. Now, I want to know this before dumping the BIOS of my friend's fat PlayStation 2. Is it safe to dump the BIOS using this utility and if it's not, what could happen? I'd also like to know if it's possible to downgrade my slim's PlayStation driver from version 2.00 to version 1.10(being the one that has the buffer overflow glitch).

I tried to dump the BIOS, but all 5 procedures failed. Any advice?
