[scrooged]

Also, just to add to the question, has anyone seen a PS2 Emulator out there?

VGS is a great emulator, also Bleem is superb, but bleem is no longer continued...

VGS (Virtual Game station) can be found on www.connectix.com, and is a commercial application...

the url doesn't work.

for the last 3 years I thought Bleem is the best Playstation emulator out their, just last december I tried VGS and discovered it is 200% much better than Bleem, and then just 2 hours ago I discovered that epsxe is 500% much more I mean SO FAR MORE better than Bleem and VGS! BTw how did they do emulation anywayz?

thanks, but is there a PS2 emulator? i want to play Final Fantasy 10 without spending $500 on a ps2 console.

well as of now i dont think PS2 emulators will be developed but I believe in the near future when there is PS3, well if there were PS2 emulators i guess you'll be needing the most powerful PC hardware to run it, i.e. GEFORCE 3, a DVD ROM drive and a fast processor cause PS2's specs is kinda heavy for average PC hardwares. but as for now there are no PS2 emus out there yet, they will be needing a bunch of hardworking genius programmers to do that

Is there an XBOX emulator out yet???

I meet a guy on Internet Relay Chat (IRC). He told me he bought a PS2 Emulator, there is a company doing that emulator but its not free and cannot be downloaded on the net. It cost around S$200, US will be around US$111.

I will check with him on the site again if i meet up with him and maybe post the link here.

alright, i'l be expecting the link

The ps2 is too **** deep to be emulated, my friends uncle works for Squaresoft and I' seen the dev kits before, these $%&$ers are deep in programing code.

At any rate no CPU on the PC is anywhere near as powerful as the 128bit EE chip on the ps2. Nope not 2.2Ghz p4, not the 2000+ Athlon XP either. The EE is just fricken to powerful, not until the future when CPU's catch up. 6.4GFLOPS of raw FPU power anyone, yeah that's EE for ya, did I mention two Vector units which developers can't get to because it's so dang hard, but if was able to would omfg be powerful.

As for the GF3, that could handle ps2 with 99% ease and we have the faster then hell memory, all we need is the CPU and programing knowledge of the system.

Seeing how the PS1 consoles and its game is being sold dirt cheap everywhere now I kinda question the need for an emulator.

As for the PS2 emu I'd tell you to check this thread in 2-3 years

There was one called bleem or something like that when Gran Tourismo first came out. I tried it on my pc at the time which used a voodoo card and the graphics were terrible but the game was playable...
