Can I download a PS2 emulator, Download a PS2 game(a japan only game) and then run it on my computer the way I do with snes games?

Yes or no. Simple.

As far as I know- you cant or you need a fast computer or something. I dunno. But can someone answer this question for me. It seems no one else wants to and its getting me in a horribly bad mood.

I'm not asking where to download anything. I know already.

I know how you feel, I tried to get that answer regarding GC recently...

With that said I suppose I could answer Yes in that it is possible to run a PS2 emu on a computer. But it depends on a few of things:

*That you have a valid Bios-file
*that you have (minimum) a dual core processor, 1Gb RAM, a good graphics card.
* that the emulator supports your particular game

If you can check these things you could be able to play a PS2 game. But there are few gamnes that work and almost all are with some issues.

Hope that answers your questions.

As of right now, you can play games with the PS2 game if it's supported. Even then odds are it'll be glitchy and have low fps.

My guess is, within another year there will be a PS2 emu that supports a plethora of games and give you more then 30 fps... I could be wrong...

Thankyou. It seems I would be better off buying swap magic and figuring out how to use it. I asked this question because I was thinking of downloading a Japan only game and playing it on my computer. But I doubt my computer will be able to handle it.

I will go for the swap magic.

Once again thanks.

Sorry if I seem..ignorant on the subject. New to this.

Nothing wrong with asking a question here friend. No question is a stupid one here. We treat our fellow gamers with respect here, so no worries.
