Yes, but it'll be very laggy.

I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.

I've wanted to run pcsx 2 on my pc. How did you get the bios? I know that you need a PS2 bios in order for the emulator to run.


This sig can be yours, too!

You can probably obtain the BIOS online. For increasing the speed I'd recommend at least disabling debug output. Beyond that, I'm not sure. I managed to play the FFX demo at about 50fps, and my machine isn't so great.

Ah, ok, didn't know there was much of a way to do it over LAN. I wanted to download the PS2 bios, but I'm weary to do it after hearing it as "illegal". But maybe its still legal as long as you have a PS2.

nope. Illegal to download the bios. Like it's illegal to download an mp3 even if you own the CD.

In other words, illegal but perfectly moral.

Alright, good. Its not like cops go door to door seeing if people have PS2 BIOS's after all.

Why not find out for yourself? It's heavily dependent on the abilities of your processor. Of course, there are many settings that you can adjust. If you just want to play the original PSX games use ePSXe, it'll probably run much better.

Yeah, I remember playing ripto's rage (one of the psx titles) with full resolution and emulation graphics, and it ran fine. I'm on a 8500GT, too, so nothing special there.

Here's what the pcsx2 compatability list says:


Key:
Quote: "Playable
You can get from 'new game' to 'end credits'. This is regardless of FPS, it simply means you could with a great deal of patience, complete the game! eg: Slow, but stable!

Ingame
You can get through menus, intro cutscenes / videos, and see ingame graphics, but either due to graphical bugs, crashes, un-resolved errors, you can't play through the entire game.

Menus
You can get into the menus, be it past 3D / video intro, memcard checks etc, but when starting a new game, it will lock up, crash, enter a loop etc.

Intro
The game will show 2D logos, or video, but will not get into menus. This could be one screen, or 20, but won't show much.

Nothing
Exactly what it says, this game crashes before showing any graphics, making any sound etc! "

Yeah but one thing just makes me a little bit angry is that they make a game which gathers many fans but they only make it for one console or platform.
Like i really like to play spyro games but sometimes a human cant afford pc and ps2 and xbox at the same time. They should make the games for pc and other platforms too.

Post if you agree.

Yeah, PC platforms would be cool. Emulators can help you somewhat with that, but not all the way.

ps2s and psx are very cheap these days. You should be able to find em if you look in the right places for as little as 20 bucks.

yeah. that system would still pull a pcsx1 but not pcsx2. i had trouble getting FFX to work on a quadcore system. Its not that its even laggy (but yes it is a bit laggy) its buggy. I gave up eventually and now i am planning to buy a PS2 just to play that one game.

My problem is i live in russia and all games here are sold in russian and i would rather play in english (altho for FFX i think russian would be ok sonce it might obscure Tidus's annoying voice a bit lol)

dont hate people who rip you off,cheat and get away with it, learn from them
