it doesn't sound like it is possible but since the ps2 is old enough in thinking maybe we can get something out of it... I'm not asking it to emulate original Xbox games I know this thing is basically a PowerMac G3 im just trying to see if it can play anything other than Nintendo games

No but it can emulate you trying to emulate a PS2.

It can also emulate emulators emulating emulators.

And for the extra-special people, you can even use your Wii U as a toaster.
Disclaimer: Wii U may not actually cook your toast and may not function as a game console afterwards.

No, the WiiU is not simply not powerfull enough. An PS2 Emulator is out of the question.

PS2 emu on the Wii U?
Yeh it's possible.
Playable framerate?
Nah, not by a long shot.

Also, the PS2 doesn't have a PPC CPU iirc.
Besides, Wii U has a tri-core PPC, similar to the 360, far far more modern then a G3 PPC CPU.

Original xbox is probably easier than PS2 to emulate full speed on WiiU.
