    PCSX2 emulator. PERIOD. :)

    And maybe Daemon Tools to mount the image of a game (rather than running it from optical drive, which is slower)

    How well does the PCSX2 emulator run PS2 games, Gophn? Have you had any problems?

    I dont think it can successfully run all games. Theres a list on a site somewhere, it classifies the games as either running, making it to the startup screen, or not running at all. I'll refrain from posting any links, but you can probably google it easily.

    I have played Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts at full speed.

    The emulator seems to be more CPU intensive than videocard. Any mid-range videocard (Nvidia 7600+ or ATI x1600+) seems to work fine.

    I tried FF12, but it ran horribly slow using the emulator, probably cause of my GPU.

    If you already own a PS2, grab an Adaptec Gamebridge.
