This site is so good. Was going to post it if it wasn't already. Def my go to rom/iso site
Internet archive has all of them (EU,US&JP) in alphabetical libraries. Also has bios files
Take a look here: https://r-roms.github.io/megathread/sony/#sony-playstation-2
i came here to link the same,and since its not a specific site it doesnt break rule 3!
https://vimm.net and https://myrient.erista.me are my go to sites for ROMs! Especially myrient since you can use FTP to download files. https://archive.org works too, though downloads are quite slow for me
For BIOS files, you can find them on the emulation wiki: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/
Internet archive
I use CDRomance because they used to have ISOs / ROMs that's already patched with fan translation / hacks / undubs
If you want more vanilla ISOs, maybe try Vimm's Lair
Take a look here (base64): aHR0cHM6Ly9yLXJvbXMuZ2l0aHViLmlvL21lZ2F0aHJlYWQvc29ueS8jc29ueS1wbGF5c3RhdGlvbi0y
PS2 section, but there are links to almost every older system (including PS3)
For preservation, go with a redump pack. They aim to make a collection of "perfect checksums" of every game. Badically, multiple people will rip the same game and they post a "hash" of their file and the perfect rip is the one that matches each other. They do not share the actual files, but you can get the a pack from archive.org of iso files that match the hash database of redump. This should give you the best collection.
On ed2k/kad network you have some!
Holy crap, I remember that. It still exists? 🤯
Yes, and It works like a charm when you find what you are looking for
No one mentioned cdromance, so I'll do that. Pretty much the only source I use besides Vimm's Lair
CDR is an amazing source
