You can't get PS2 roms, there far to big.Up to 4 gigs, It will be a very long time before you see them.

You put the game disc into your DVD drive.You need the game to play it on a emu.I also have never found a PS2 rom.

1) They're called ISO's. They're not ROM's.
2) Some PS2 games have been released on CD as well as DVD.
3) PS2 ISO's are normally available as torrents. Try a torrent website.
4) PS2 emulators have very poor compatability with most games. Check on the emulator's compatability list before committing yourself to a 700mb-4700mb download.

A website where you can search for torrent files. You download the torrent file to your computer and load it without your Bittorrent Client (BitComet, Azureus, uTorrent) and begin to download the file.

ISOs are images from CDs (pc games, xbox games, PS2 games, etc.)

That's true

You can also find a download link, but it's easier to get the torrent.

You're listening to an expert! It's easier (but not cheaper) to get a copy of the game you're looking for, and run it on your PC (obviously with your emu)

this one would suit perfectly :D

[s]www.kale77islooking4some-englishtorrentsites.com/he-needs/someps2isos.html[/s]

but this one works better (since the other doesn't work at all)

www.ddlspot.com/

this is not a torrent site, but you can find some torrent files of the game(s) you're looking for

If you can get an invite, try demonoid.com. You could also try checking the front page regularly because they sometimes open registrations for short periods of time.

They aren't giving members invites at the moment. Just check the page every day, and you'll bound to find registrations are open.
