Well, considering PS2 games are 100 times better and more fun than PS3 games, I'd say many people would want to emulate PS2. Remember when console gaming was fun? I'll give you a hint: before this console gen :S

Yes, many people would want to emulate PS2 but it's too old(emulator) almost 6 years back, I had one and loved it.

But, in comparison, people would kill to for a PS3 emulator, I know I would.

"PS2 Games are 100times better than PS3"
Well.. that's your opinion and it's the other way around for me :)

"PS2 games are 100 times better and more fun than PS3 games"

some are but not all.

GUN is better than RDR
Star Wars battle front 2 is better than CODWAW to CODBOps
GTASA is better than GTA4 even Vice city was better than GTA4.

but UC1 and 2 are better than most Ps3, xbox360 games and so are MGS1,2&3.

being able to play Ps2 games on pc is a good thing

FF1o is better than FF13

I give a sh!t about PS2 games. I'll take any emulator you've got. I've already got SNES, Genesis, N64, and PS1 games on my PC. PS2 is more than welcome.

I still have my game cube with the games somewhere around here. Might plug it back in for nostalgic reasons!

Also bought Action Replay for it which was some hack tool.

Errr am i missing something here? We've been able to play ps2 games on PC's for a number of years now. Is this just an updated version of an old emulator? Guess i'll give it a crack and see how it works..

I see that everybody's updating their Emulators. Even the ZSNES team announced that soon they will update their 4 years Snes emulator. The problem is that their emu was written in "Assembler" and now they are having a hard time porting the code to "C" so, maybe for next year?

it not illegal if you know how to get the ps2 bios from your own ps2 and you play ps2 games you own. this should be mention that its illgal if you download the ps2 bios off the internet which you need in order to play any ps2 games on this emulator also if you download games off the internet of course but you can use the ps2 disc while its in your pc dvd drive because ps2 games are not encyrpted like xbox and game cube games are.

I like the old 8-bit Nintendo emulator... There's nothing like playing games like Super Mario, Metal Gear, and Bionic Commando on your PC!!!

This is for all the idiots that sold all their stuff to GS for $2 to buy an xbox and are now kicking themselves in the ass over it.

WOuld prefer a PS2 emulator for my PS3 to be honest. They removed backwards compatability from the PS3 revisions and now it looks like custom firmware has gone out the window.

Rather than Sony develop this for the PS3 they know its better business practice to simply re-release PS2 games on the PSN for £12 a pop instead of releasing an emulator.

With an approach to business like that in some respects i'm glad their network got hacked. Greedy.
