I wonder how well the PS2 emulation is on PC currently. Would it work well on a Q6600 with a 360 controller?

Q6600 should be enough, but it's also going to depend on your video card. If you're rockin an 8800 or better, you should be fine for almost any game (with some minor tweaking).

36 Best PS2 Games

Not the best list in the world, but at least it'll give you a start.
That list is so broken. A lot of games shouldn't be on there while a lot should.

But lets say that they have all the best games, it's so out of place. They put X-2 up there but no X. They put DMC1 ahead of DMC3, they put KH2 up there [which was mediocre] but not KH. They put San Andreas [that's right, I hate that game, it sucks], but not DQVIII?

Ace Combat 4, 5, Ace Combat Zero, Devil May Cry 1, 3, Dragon Quest 8, Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII, God Hand, Killer7, Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, Okami, Odin Sphere, Viewtiful Joe, Persona 4, Rogue Galaxy, Star Ocean: Till the end of time, Tales of the abyss, Xenosaga 1, 2, 3, Shadow of the colossus, Ico, Valkyrie Profile 2, Metal Gear Sold 2, 3. There's still more, but I can't recall any at the moment.

PS2 has more good exclusive games than all the consoles of this gen combined.

hey guys why not emulate it? how fast are the games on the most latest ps2 emu and on a standard pc

I just Googled a bit and PCSX2 really seems to be very good to emulate PS2 games.
You can check the compatibility list on that site too, and it show a lot of games are perfectly playable. It recommends you have a decent Dual core CPU though.

Here's a fantastic video of a guy playing Final Fantasy 10 on his PC, near perfect speed. It also has instructions to get you going.

Please excuse my language but I would have say a big damn YES! It's totally worth it. Then spend less than $50 on getting pirated games working on it. That would be a pretty solid game library for pretty much no money compared to buying anything from this gen of consoles

I originally got my PS2 after winning Guitar Hero: rock the 80's at "Swedish metal expo" a few years ago. So I bought a PS2 for about $60 from a friend and a month later, Swap Magic. And I must say: Awesome buy! I've still got like 50 games I want to play that I haven't even got the time to try out yet!

Go get it!

What are your PC's specs?
I got a crappy 8400 and an Athlon II X2 and most PS2 games are smooth

In my opinion, it's always better to buy the real thing instead of emulating it. That just feels so much better and authentic, always go for that option if possible.

If you don't have the money or don't want to put in an effort, you can always just emulate the shit out of it

I do recommend having some kind of controller though.

If you emulate games in PCSX 2 you can play them in HD resolutions. Some games look freaking gorgeous on them, like FFXIII, AND this way you don't have to wait for crappy PS3 HD ports! Just saying.
