I think it would be possible with a playstation emulator like ePSXe.

Yes once you have a PS CD you can open it with the emulator and play it. I have tested it for myself and it works perfectly with PCSX2

ps2 games are more evolved so to say. You'd need a very very good pc to be able to run them properly. Same goes for gamecube and Xbox games

If you are playing it on a CD rather than the ISO it will run better, though you do need a some what medium speed PC to play them.

I find its just the opposite with me, the games seem to run faster from mt hard drive than my disk drive. Both are new so iunno.

It also depends on your Disc drive speed, mine is 40x MAX, so it runs pretty good and my brothers's is 56x MAX, so it runs perfect, but sometimes it runs to fast. Also, if using an ISO, the faster and bigger your hardrive, like  72,000 RPM, the faster the hard drive can process and distribute the data and  having a decent video card won't hurt, either.

:) yes its possble. you can download psx iso as well and they work. also keep in mind the downloading the playstation bios is illegal! sony copyrighted it and epsxe will not show you where to get it. and without it epsxe will not work nor any ps emulator. you might have trouble finding it since its illegal.

Use the search feature on the forum if you want PSX bios. I found a link here 2 weeks ago. And kiril is quite correct about emulators of the 3rd gen consoles. The isnt a good emulator yet so it would be best to just wait a couple of years until a good emulator has been developed.

There are no ps2 emulators so there would be no ps2 bios.
If you're thinking about the PSX bios, it's easly found online. I searched PSX bios in google and found numerous downloads.

There actually is one good PS2 emulator that runs a number of games http://www.pcsx2.net/. Also if you look on big torrent sites you can find the PS2 Bios. Or if you have a PS2 you can dump your Bios to your comp. You can find out how to do that at the website I listed above.
