Hi,
I'm kinda new to this although I remember a few years ago downloading a PS2 emulator but it didn't work well on our computer at the time but I thought the technology might have moved on since then... I have alot of stuff connected to my TV and dont really have the room for a console but I like to have a good choice of games, I have the main portable consoles (PSP & DS) and have just thought today maybe I should re-look into PS2 emulators for PCs, if any are fairly user friendly, don't overload PCs with spyware etc. and work well then it'd be pretty cool to have such a wide choice of extra games
Anyway, I searched on Download.com for PS2 emulators and found what looks like a pretty new one called 'Click-2U' which has got a couple of pretty good reviews, it says it was released as freeware in late May this year. Has anyone here used it? is it any good?
I just wanna know if its worth trying one of these programs, if that one is any good... I mean I know a bit of IT but im no real expert when it comes to the technology behind these things, if they have any real likelihood of making my laptop hang/crash then it wouldn't be worth it to me since I rely on my laptop and also my dads been working on it today to try and speed it up a bit (using disc cleanup and stuff) and I don't want to download a program just after I get it back that screws it up and makes it unreliable again...
My laptop is just under 3 and a half years old, runs XP Home, has c. 12gb of free space I believe, maybe more I haven't checked in a while and it has 256mb ram... is this much less than is needed for a decent gameplay experience on any of these emulators? and is it worth me risking downloading/installing an emulator or are they not really reliable or/and user friendly enough, if you know what I mean... also like I say I'd like to know, if it is worth looking into, if anyone has used the Click-2U emulator and is that any good? as it seems to be a very new one, maybe its worth trying rather than one that was developed years ago(?) *shrug*
I'm just curious, im not looking for amazing gameplay I guess just something that I can use so if I were to spot a cheap PS2 game I could put it in my CD/DVD ROM drive and get a bit of fun out of it thats all really... im not a hardcore gamer but it'd give me something to get a bit of fun out of during the summer, thats all im looking for...
sorry I know I kinda 'go on a bit' lol (ie sorry this is such a long post), thanks in advance for any replies - cheers
