Loading a disc based game might be possible from the bios (to be honest I have never bothered to try), but if you want to browse iso files and pick from them or do other things in an enviroment that looks like a PS2 system then you will need to make a custom frontend to be able to handle all that.
You can integrate PCSX2 and many other emulators into steam already if you would rather go that route. As for kodi I don't know if there is program addon to allow PCSX2 game loading, but it should be possible to make one.
That's exactly it! I can't believe I didn't think of this but the starting scene/menu on the ps2 is the bios, right?
There use to be tons of resources for modding bios' on pcs, there might be some out there for making a front end like the og ps2. Googling is leading me to bare metal programming as well, I wonder how much it'd cost to get a job like this done.
You're giving me ideas man...sweet, unrealistic, expensive ideas.
