    Or How to get Sheep Milk!
    [​IMG]

    Requirements:
    - a kickass computer [look in first spoiler]
    - a lot of nerves because the emulators may function poorly
    - 15 to 250 minutes. It may take some time but try all the program emulators (and configure them properly) if you downloaded a PS 2 game that you wanna play!

    Note :This is entirely made by myself!

    Step one: you grab a sheep to make milk

    Go on http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/ps2/ and get the second one (at least that one works best for me)

    Step two: squash the mounds gently to get the milk coming

    You search a PS 2 game that doesn't exist on PC and download it from a torrent site.

    Step three: Make sure you got a bucket below so that you don't waste any drop!

    You can do the Rain Dance because ...
    you can now play FREELY! unless you got schoolwork or multiple jobs.

    Step four added: Things you should know before you milk sheep

    1. About Bios ! : you get it from here : http://freemedia.realgage.com/playstation-2-emulator-v20901-ps2-bios.html
    2. About plugins ! : I don't have any experience with those but you can get them from here : http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/ps2/ps2plugins.html
    3. Playability : that includes FPS, gameplay & gaming effect and depends on the game you playing.

    Any suggestions on how to improve this guide are greatly appreciated and applied in-depth!

    Thanks to tharoux for improving my guide. :p

    Man, playing PS2 games on PC is SO MUCH MORE than that.

    What your guide is lacking:

    -Bios ? important to tell peoples you'll need to download the bin files for the needed region (euro/jap/usa)
    -Plugins ? That's the biggest part. ALOT of 3rd party coder write awesome plugins to make this possible. And this is the worst part for us. We need to figure which combo work best for our needs.
    -Playability ? ALOT of games are still unplayable so far. Because they finally were able to show the 3D in most games last year, the PS2 emulators took a giant step. Futhermore, you should talk about the FPS you get when playing ;)

    It would be nice to tell what's your pc specs exactly and the config you used (program/bios/video-sound-gamepad-dvd plugins)

    I've done it before... I used all the emulators available. I was also a tester for PCSX2 in the developpement of graphics plugin.

    Finally, you should link to the best site available right now:
    http://pcsx2.net/

    They even have a compatibility list showing wich games will work with the version of PCSX2.
    You'll also see that only 50% of the games are fully playable ;)

    Anyway, if you need more informations, lemme know XD
