There is no emulator of PS 2 on PC, i know it. But why? Isn' t possible to make it? :o :love: :cry: :cry: :cry:
-
yesit is possible it just that people are too lazy or you not looking hard enough. it justmatter of time. be patient.
-
God, I don't know if I can handle two Joeys on this board...
-

ant ---> what hell, "gaystation" you againt playstation?
-
yup
-
theres something called 'the grinch project' or something thats working on a PS2 emulator for macOS
-
why would you want to emulate the ps2, theres not like theres any good games for it yet.
-
ff10 and metal gear solid 2

Next on Futility Watch:
Making emulators for OS's whose users will never use them. The Grinch Project, PS2 emu for MAC! :laugh:
-
please tell me your kidding. the MAC? the mac shouldn't even have games made for it
-
on the contrary. it would run better on a mac. macs run much more efficiently then PCs from what I can tell. the reason that the guy chose to make it on mac is because it has less background programs.

Start up Windows, but prevent any background programs from loading, using MSConfig, or an equivalent. Guess what? Practically no background programs. Not that it makes a difference, when you've got >64MB of RAM, and we all do. Don't we?
Nowadays the Mac really doesn't have many advantages over the PC - and speed is *not* one of them. At all.
-
hmm im thinkin fice, but im not sure.
-
I know there are PS2 emulators, the hardest requirement for them, though, is the fact that they require a DVD-ROM drive. I'd look for an emu, but I don't have a DVD-ROM drive in my system...

iso...... a 4.7 GB iso......

PowerPC chips rule x86 though. The Mac in general is decent for multimedia, but games are rare.
An example of good PowerPC usage is the Gamecube :)
-
just like a good use for the x86 is the xbox.
-
touchè!

I heard that PS2 emulation wasn't possible, but they also said that with N64.
Apple is actually a good choice for multimedia and 3D graphics, because it's processor is designed in a way that it processes graphics faster. A guy who I had a class with told me that he was a advertisement designer for a movie company. He says that all his co-workers use Imacs for doing the advertisements. The movie industry uses Apple a lot for 3D graphics in the movies.

let's ditch the emu-app, time for emu-os for PC! :isee:
-
You mean like VMware or WINE?
By the way, that new version of VMware sucks (VMware workstation 3.0).

PS2 emulation is *possible*, but much much harder than anything else done in emulation until now. The hardware between a PC and a PS2 is just so different....PC relies on much memory on the gfx card, while PS2 only have 4MB of memory but has a totally awesome bus that can push through all the textures and geometry needed. If you see a PS2 emulator sometime, it's because the bus (or the on-card hardware) has improved so much on the PC, because right now nothing in programming could make it happen.
This has all been discussed here before somewhere. Good luck finding it though, just saying this because it will probably explain the techies lack of interest in this topic (it might even be deleted as it was about a year ago I think...around the PS2 release date)
I will refrain from commenting about PurpleSmurf not thinking there's anything wrong with another Joey on the board.
-
He darkness, I don't like MGS or MGS2 and FFX isn' t technically out yet :P
-
tomorrow, my friend. tomorrow.
-
MGS2 was really good. The only thing they needed to add to make it perfect was multiplayer support. Same goes for Gundam: Journey to Jabrow.

Hooray, for dynamic ip ;)
-
hehe even if i could view the ip, its more fun to guess.
-
Actually, no one will be able to identify me by my IP (sometimes). Simply because I use many computers on different locations. Sometimes locations that are very distant.
Did you know that if you try to hack from Mexico in a cybercafe, your chances of getting caught drops dramatically. Not that I have done it :cool:, but the fact that you are close to the border (I never said which border, heh heh) and the fact that they don't give a damn who uses it and what you do with it, is clear that you can do whatever you want.
The police can't catch you that quick over there, and plus if they chase you, you can escape very easily from them.

-
then the cali border patrol checks you for fruit and vegetables, and they catch you......
-
unless your only carrying animals (stuffed with fruit and vegtables). or you could come over in a coffe truck.
-
Mexico, the poor country has a powerful network of computers which is why it is easier to detect(or so it seems).
-
Yeah, you can spend time in jail just because of a stupid avocado. Damn stupid avocado, damn it.
As poor as it may seem, Mexico does have a lot technology. Often the most difficult surgeries are done in Mexico. They teach a lot of programming over there, my cousin was taught C++ when he was 15. Other than that they are pretty laid back when it comes to network security.

hehe if you freeze the avacado, i dont think they care. they use the word 'fresh'
-
Anonymous: LOL its not like being served drinks, there is not age limit to learn a programming language :-)
-
aye, i know c++ and im 15. ive been programing HTML since i was 11, and been messing with vb since about then too.
-
hmm i've been programming since i was 12. of course it wasn't a real programming language, qbasic, and i sucked ungodly at it. it made me the gymnast/programmer mix i am today. ahh... computers what would life be like with out you; proabaly a lot less complicated and interesting but i don't care
-
Friends, Friends let's not tempt the programmers to stray from making that ff7 remake :wink:
-
huh?
-
In the beggining of the thread, there was talk of let's see a "playstation 2 emulator for the pc", which unless taken on by alot of skilled programmers, would most likely suck... I take that back 1 good programmer, alot of good hackers to hack the playstation 2.
- sorry for replying at the end of the subject like I was back at the top.
and if we're talking about young people learning programming I know visual basic, perl and html and I'm 12 (tell me if that's good or bad, I don't really keep score)...
-
thats cool, ive been tryin to learn cgi, havent had much time tho. i dont think anyone here actually has any intention of trying to create an emulator.
-
how good are you with them thats real point of know more than 1 languange. if you know a lot of languages but suck with em then theire no point.
-
take a look at his website, its very good.
-
Definatly a nice opening page... However, the fact that it's incomplete tells me a lot. Every link besides the cheats (and probably the news ones, but I didn't check them) and the ones going to gamingdaily.com are broken. I wouldn't even post a PARTIAL webpage like that. I get it put together, finished, check, & double check it on my HD, THEN I upload it! That's webpaging basics! Anything else is a waste of a surfer's time.
Check out my site if you think I don't know what I'm talking about... (Hope you have Netscape 6!)

hehe i opened it with ie 5 and was like "ewwww thats ugly" another webpage basic is browser compatibility :)
-
Hey! My opening page tells you the problems you'll have with my page. "We highly suggest the use of Netscape Navigator 6 or above. Results may vary with other browsers. "
That's good enough for now. Once I get more webspace, I'll make a IE version of the site.
