There are two options:

1. Download it somewhere and google is your friend.

2. If you have the games then you can rip from a cd and there are several programs:

CDRWIN
alcohol 120%
Clone CD
Nero
some more.

However, for PS2 emulator, PSX emulator, Sega Saturn emulator... you don't need to rip it and just insert it into CD/DVD driver and tell your emulator where the driver is then you are ready to play.
