PS2 to PC?

[Chosonman]

Is there a way to play PS2 games on a PC?

Anyone here anything regarding this?

I've never seen a (fully functional) emulator... the architecture is proprietary, and Sony has never released much about it. Reverse-engineering it completely without inside info would be *very* tough.

If you want to play games on a PC monitor, you can run it through a capture card (gives fairly lousy results) or a component->VGA transcoder (a "VGA Box").

I think i've seen one emulator floating around that would play a handfull of games, but I heard it takes a while to get them to work.

Get a PS2 and a Viewsonic N4 box. Looks great on a pc monitor crt or lcd. Dont even need a PC. Monitor connect directly thru the N4.

PS2 (s-video) > Video card w/ video-in (capture driver) > DScaler

yeah, but it'll look like crap.

No. The only emulator being worked on requires them to spend lots of time on every single game to get them to work. And I don't think they have any games working 100%. It's not going to happen.

Console architecture, especially the PS2 and PS3, is too different from a PC.
