|-
! File !! Description !! Remarks
|-
| ACDEV || Arcade ROM device service. || 
|-
| ADDDRV || Adds support for the DVD ROM (rom1:), via ROMDRV. || 
|-
| ADDROM2 || Adds support for rom2 (which contains a Chinese font file), only for Chinese consoles (SCPH-50009). || 
|-
| APPLOAD || IOP application loader (according to a printf string found on it).  Seems to be an IRX module capable of running other IRX modules, since it processes modload return values and more|| system 246/256 exclusive, has debug symbols and ELF header pointer to entrypoint is null for some reason.
|-
| ATAD || The DEV9+ATAD(+Flash device) combo driver. First appearing in ROM v1.10. Has no support for the CXD9566R. Despite its similar name, it is very different from the full ATAD module. || 
|-
| BNNETCNF || not entirely sure what this is for, but it appears in the PS3's PS2 ROMs. Seems to be for network configuration, but why? || 
|-
| BOARDINF || reads in the DSW602 board's ID and sets up the values for Boot Modes 6 and 7. Only does something useful on TOOL units. || 
|-
| BTNB01 || || 
|-
| BUILD || || 
|-
| CDVDFSV || The RPC server for CDVDMAN. || 
|-
| CDVDMAN || The CD/DVD manager. || 
|-
| CLEARSPU || Clears/resets the SPU2 by setting the registers to a known state and zeroing SPU2 memory. If the SPU2 asserts an interrupt when this library is active, it will cause a bus error due to the fact that the callback function is set to NULL. Only used by the OSDSYS of the SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000, probably retained for backward-compatibility. Appears to use an older version of the libspu2 library. || 
|-

|-
| CMN02 || EE code overlay for DVD player loaded at a location after CMN01 ||

It seems to be a heavily stripped-down CDVDMAN module, with no support for some S-command functions like sceCdRI. I don't know why this was done, but it might be a deliberate move by Sony to prevent hackers from using these system functions. Didn't really do anything, however. ||

== Boot Process ==
Since ROM is mapped for both IOP and EE reset vectors at the same address (0xBFC00000), Sony implements cpu detection based on PRid COP0 register value. First thing executed by either IOP or EE is MFC0 fetching PRid and performing check if ID is 0x58 or lower, if true, r3000 code will run (branch to 0xBFC02000), otherwise r5900 code is executed (branch to 0xBFC00800). From there both cpus perform respective tasks with code compatible to cpu architecture they run already. IOP code performs few tasks like clearing caches and setting up them depending on if it is PS1/PS2 mode. Now checks 0xBF801450 bit 3 again for PS1/PS2 mode detection, and search in ROM for either IOPBOOT or TBIN and jump to execution of one of those files. TBIN is real PS1 rom, and from time when it is executed r3000 side acts like PS1 CPU. Worth to note that r3000 side of PS2 ROM perform additional check for PRid 0x0F or lower (real PS1) and jumps to TBIN without 0xBF801450 bit 3 PS1/PS2 mode detection. Which suggest that if we flash first 512KB of PS2 rom into PS1, hardware should be functional to at least run games.

== Known Issues ==
=== Flush Cache t5/t6 corruption ===
PS1 mode FlushCache (A0:44) is altered comparing to one from PS1 bios. New version disables DMA by zero write to DCPR for the time when function run. This isn't issue per se, but to do that function use registers t5 and t6. While temp registers should be preserved by caller if needed, there is at least 1 game that rely on them to stay intact after returning from FlushCache. Mortal Kombat Trilogy (NTSC-U). This affect every PS2 model, also PS3 emulators since they use stripped PS2 bios to run PS1 games. Solution: On PS2 patch game image, on PS3 either patch game image or bios itself.
