How can you be thinking about PS2 emulators when there is only one PS1 emulator that even somewhat works. There are quite a few PSX emulators for PC, and a G5 or a recent PC can handle most of them well.

The PS2's a lot faster, but it's still, what, 4 years old? A dual 2 GHz G5 with a radeon 9800 could probably do it, provided the emulator used multiple threads.

DREAMCAST & PSONE EMULATORS FOR YOSEMITE, fully working tutorial! PS2 Emulator for Mac OS 10. Nov 8, 2014 - Hi there, So I've downloaded PCSX2 version 0.9.6 as I'm currently on OSX Yosemite and I. The iso from the disks and the disks still work fine on the PS2. Indicators it could be that the emulator create such errors on its own.

Emulators are also legal, so no need to get antsy talking about them. It's not a hardware thing at all, though, it's a software thing. My 233mhz Rev A iMac played all my PS1 games without a hitch on Virtual Game Station.

But CVGS is no more and doesnt work in OSX. Currently the only PS1 emulator on OSX that is able to play commercial games is Flarestorm 2, and FS2's development has been fairly slow (it's not like it's dead or anything, the coders have just run into a lot of stuff). Worse than that is the fact that Sony is zealous about PS1/2 emulation and not many are willing to face the legal skirmish that would likely ensue if they got their emulator working with PS1 games. Remember, the CVGS legal fight only ended when Sony eventually bought the rights to CVGS. And then promptly scrapped it.

Makes it seem (at least to me) that emulation will be difficult. Plus it runs at 1280x960 resolution, which most computers don't handle well with graphics.

Actually, it runs far, far lower res than that. It runs at the native NTSC TV (or PAL TV, in other countries) resolution - which is absurdly low.

So much so that when i run my G5 on my TV @ 800x600 it looks like ass because it is interpolating pixels. Since, to my knowledge, the PS2 does not support a DVI-interface, it cannot display anything at higher DVI-capable resolutions. The specs for the PS2 say it runs at 1280x960. I would assume that means it pumps out graphics at 1280x960, and the TV may scale that down if it desires. I don't know though, not being a PS2 engineer:P mostly likely it is running at an 'interpolated' 1280x960. Basically, every 'pixel' is a fragment of a real TV pixel. So it is running at something like 320x240 (which i believe is the NTSC/PAL standard) but each Pixel on the TV is representing 4 'real' pixels.

Thats what my G5 does when it is running through the TV - it runs at 'interpolated' 800x600. And it looks like booty. (except when running video through DVD player or Quicktime, since when you run it 'full screen' it switches to the native res on the TV. But the desktop and applications definitely look like booty.

16 point font is still too fuzzy to read, for example. Done being off topic: a PS 2 is about 130 to 160 bucks, depending where you look. First to answer your quesion no there is not. Second how can you be thinking about PS2 emulators when there is only one PS1 emulator that even somewhat works. I don't know how you think but isn't that like asking 'How come you want a good new sequel to an old bad game?'
