Wha?! Um, I can't tell what you're trying to say. However, it looks like you're asking one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard. Hopefully, this is not the case... Anyway, if you're asking what I think you're asking, then NO! It's like trying to put Windows XP on a MAC (yes, I know it can be done, now that MACs are using x86 based chips, but I'm refering to a MAC that's at least 1 year old). Gamecube games are written SPECIFICALLY for the hardware achitecture of the Gamecube. The PS2 is completely different than the GC. Different CPU, different graphics card, different motherboard, ect. Just because I can put *.EXE files (windows specific) on a MAC, doesn't mean they're going to run. You'd be doing the same thing. The PS2 won't even know what the disc is. The format of the disc makes difference. On top of that, GC games are encrypted somehow. Sure, you could get rid of the encription, but it's still completely wrong for the PS2.

To sum it all up: What you ask CAN'T happen. Try running Windows applications on the MAC OS. They don't work. Neither will this. I may have been rude (probably was), but I just can't understand how anyone would even think that such a thing would work in the first place. Mouser X over and out.

Its just very unlikely to ever actually happen

As Mouser X already stated, Gamecube games do not run on the PS2, and they never will without emulation (and AFAIK, there is currently no Gamecube emulator for PS2) - and even then it would be impossible for them to run anywhere near full speed, as the Gamecube is overall a more powerful system than the PS2. Without an emulator to translate the game's code, trying to play a Gamecube game on a PS2 would be like giving an English-only-speaking person Japanese instructions and expecting him to follow them.

Can someone seriously think they can play GameCube games on a PS2?

I mean come on, people need to have some sense of realities.

Just buy a Gamecube! Or if you have one already just play it on that. It's never gonna happen. The Gamecube is only 130Euro now anyway.

I thinks it's more likely about 100euro
