PS/ PS2 Emu?

[sKwEEg]

Are there any Playstation or Playstation 2 emulators out there? A simple Bleem rip-off deal. I have tried looking around on various web sites, but they often times lead me in circles. Can anyone help me, or at the least shoot down my questions?

lol,try ngemu.com,epsxe is the best psx emulator,for ps2 there is a real emulator but doesn't play commercial games,for the psx emulator you need to find the psx bios with google.

Both PSX and PS2 emulators exist.

PSX emulators are very advanced and loads of commercial games with little or no errors and are very fast. ePSXe is the best one IMO and is the one I use all the time. It runs most commercial games flawlessly if you use the right configuration. The best plugins (Pete's) are actively updated and make PSX games look great using the power and features of today's graphics cards.

PS2 emulators are new and not very advanced. The most advanced one is PCSX2 which can run the BIOS and display graphics from commercial games and run most demos. The games are not really playable yet but progress is good.

PS2 emulation is more complex than DC emulation or less????

i would hate to imagine how many megabites ps2 iso files would be anyone have a rough average?

[dukenukem]

ps2 isos range from 300-4gigs,i have seen some ps2 ones go over 4gigs while others are around 700megs,just depends if it's dvd or just cd.

some newer games are also dual layer but they're in the minority at the moment

Much, much more complex*.

Looks like ngemu is down... hmmm... doesn't look too good for that place. Anyway, if you want the PSX emu, you'll have to get it from the epsxe website themselves.

As ZSNES is hosted on the same box it is also down. :( That "Bye." message is really scary. Hope it comes back up soon!

[dukenukem]

ngemu usually goes down temporarily because of when they update the site or that board they use for the site,hope it will be back up soon though:(.

The zsnes webpage seems to be working. What you talkin' 'bout, willis? ;)

P.S. The double post was unintentional, waited for a minute for it to be posted, wasn't, clicked "reply" again, then two popped up, tried to delete the bottom one, but it didn't. Ah well, it happens I guess. :)

Ah, looks like its just the ZSNES forum thats on the same box as Emuforums and the main page of ZSNES is on a different one which isn't down. [isn't _Demo_ the said owner of the said box or am I completely wrong?]

Wow, that was pretty confusing! Looks like time for bed for me...

[Modem]

Not sure... about... the box thing... what they're hosted on and all... hmmm... I wouldn't think it would have to do with him though, since they did post a "bye" message at the forums, and a "temporarily down" message at ngemu. And finally, the zsnes forums are up, and emuforums aren't. :)
