hi, does any one know how to emulate ps2 games from a cd driver on a computer. i unlike most people dont have a play station 2 but would like to be able to play them on my computer but do not know what to use. i have borowed a game from my next door neighbour to play around with trying to get it to play it but i dont know how to. does anyone know any good emulators that can read off of a cd/dvd drive?
thanks, dandono
www.zophar.net if they still exist used to be the big emulator place.
I am at work so I cant go to gaming sites to check if it is still there.
Or possibly www.retrogames.com if I recall. Its been years.
why not just get an emulator that loads the game file, it would be faster
hi, how do you use PCSX2? i can not figure out where bios files are on a ps2 game. where are they?
You need to get them directly from your PS2, using a special cable.
Or if you own a PS2 it *might* be legal to download the exact version of the BIOS from a P2P program. I'm not sure about the legality of this.
BTW. No program exists that can properly emulate a PS2 game. You'll be lucky to get a title screen to come up for any of your games. Sorry to disappoint, but the programs just aren't developed enough yet.
A lot of PS2 games are DVD-sized, so that's pretty big to store on your computer.Quote:

I wasnt sure how far along PS2 emulation was. I have been out of the loop for a long time.
i have borrowed a game but i can not find anything names rom1.bin or the other file. where are they?
Dandono, to play a PlayStation 2 Game on your PC you need the following:
- 512 MB of DDR or DDR2 RAM
- Pentium 2.8GHz or faster/equivalent
- scph39001.bin or scph35002.bin (which are illegal if you don't own a PlayStation)
- A game
- PCSX 2
Even when you have all of those, the game still won't run properly. You can't stick a PC game in a PlayStation and expect it to work, likewise you can't stick a PS2 game into a PC and expect it to work. They operate on entirely different hardware.
