I don't know about MAC, but you could try PCSX2 0.9.8. Its one of the best PS2 emulators out there. Sorry I guess not [This is why most of my post say Last edited] I just checked.
PCSX2 Project Site
You could always use a Flash Drive[USB Stick, Juke Drive, External Hard Drive, etc] and play it off your Flash drive on a Library computer...its what I use to do or if your Mac computer has enough space you could Dual Boot your computer which allows you to have 2 Operating Systems...and you could do it for free...its what I did when Windows 7 on another computer [Tower] couldn't use my old graphic card [ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 9000] driver so I installed Windows XP in a second Hard Drive...that I got from another computer because it didn't have enough space [1st HHD = 80GB & 2nd HHD = 40GB].Quote:
System Requirements
Minimum
- Windows/Linux OS
- CPU: Any that supports SSE2 (Pentium 4 and up, Athlon64 and up)
- GPU: Any that supports Pixel Shader model 2.0, except Nvidia FX series (broken SM2.0, too slow anyway)
- 512MB RAM (note Vista needs at least 2GB to run reliably)
Recommended
- Windows Vista / Windows 7 (32bit or 64bit) with the latest DirectX
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.2ghz or better
- GPU: 8800gt or better (for Direct3D10 support)
- RAM: 1GB on Linux/Windows XP, 2GB or more on Vista
Note: Because of copyright issues, and the complexity of trying to work around it, you need BIOS dump extracted from a legitimately owned Playstation 2 console to use the emulator.
Note: PCSX2 only takes advantage of 2 cores so far; so a quad-core processor will not help with speed. We still plan to add quad-core support at a later date, if possible.
My sister and I had 2 problems, for my sister didn't have enough space on 80GB and for me the driver wasn't compatible on the Operating System.
When I have computer problems I think about solving them before bothering a professional. A User of Computer using a Developer's Software, a Engineer's Hardware and a Hacker's Exploit...all we had to do is Use...and what ever problem comes your way try and solve with Software, Hardware or Oneself...Hackers have a saying "Nothing is too impossible".
If you want me to tell you how/find links to how to Dual-Boot Mac with Windows XP on Mac for you then reply. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but once you do it then hey a least you don't have to do it again.
Sorry my reply is long, but when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
Thank you for the post, and yea I've tried the pcsx2 before and it didnt work. And yea a bump in the right direction for a mac one would be great!
So should I tell you how to Dual-Boot?
