but brother u havent even played even 100 titles out of 1900 soo games r still new for u..

Burnout series is better then NFS..its more fun.
God of war..and wrestling games are awesome...mortal combat..smack down

Even Bully is cool...reminds me of old school days

Still prefer a Desktop. Except in really *special* situations, PS2 is all but useless.
Most modern microcomputers can emulate PS2 100% easily.

For me, newspapers, magazines, TVs, Radios, Postal Service, gaming consoles, are all useless. My 1337 Desktop is all I need

Good luck with you "1337" desktop emulating a PS2.

i once thought of buying PS2 just because of the WWE games being released on it year after year...

but now i play them on my comp, hehehe...
still the $100 price tag is pretty compelling...hmm...

I do wish to play God of War though....

thx for the news btw....good thing with the title dude!

@Gautham, Happy emulating PS2 games (if you succeed at it)

If that means going online, PS2 does have an Ethernet port.

it is streaming *ahem* Movies On PSP , thru wifi , which i use .

Why the pirated stuff? You can also stream music,TV shows and other media from PC/Mac to PS3.

IronManForever · 07-04-2009, 02:15 AM

^ And that can be pirated too. Just a point.

BTW emulating PS2 is LOL kinda thing. Having a console is better, and feels better!

My friend with a P4 3.0 GHz with 1GB RAM and a 7800GTX (which is slower than a 3.5K 9500GT which is much more VFM an upgrade on a modern desktop than paying 5K for a PS2) could run PS2 games easily on his desktop.

But it involves getting illegal PS2 firmware from *ahem* sources and using it in an emulator, which I am not discussing about.

And yeah, the same desktop could easily emulate Xbox and Nintendo GameCube too.

Dude we're not talking about the PC emulating the console. Let's be a bit more realistic. I can easily top your friend's configuration but that doesn't mean I will be able to run PS2 games on acceptable frame rates. The problem is not PC hardware but the software emulator, which hasn't reached perfection. Unlike the emulator which we had for PSX, the PS2's emulation is far more complicated then we think. So at this point, for 5.5k, a PS2 would be a much better option then whatever graphic upgrade you consider. If you don't game then that's your choice. I have tried this emulation thing for so long that I actually ended up buying a PS2 instead. Guess what? It's the best choice I made.

Is it so ? Because my friend is able to play at acceptable FPS, while with GameCube and Xbox emulators, he gets better FPS than the consoles (he uses dolphin emulator for gamecube if I remember right).

Can you tell his system specs...?

Back to the original topic please?

If system config is what all we need to care about then my PC can easily emulate 2-3 PS2s.

Proof or it didn't happen.
