If i understood correctly a modded bios on 9000 series (for example) would remove the need of a mod chip,
then setting up ps2bbl to open our preferred application .ELF ?

Flash Tool would be software tools for building new ROM images. A new application for this is currently under development. However, to have this on the console, the original BIOS chip must be replaced with a new chip with a custom ROM. Examples of chips that work are: MX29LV320, MX29LV640. These are the ones I use, but I believe others can also be used. You have to check the datasheet.

The original PS2 ROM chip cannot be re-flashed.
