the PS2 is a 128 bit system, while a PC is only 32.

the PS2's hardware consists of mostly undocumented, custom chips.

you usually need a 3-5x more powerful PC to emulate a system. "power" is NOT expressed by mhz/ghz numbers.
Dont forget no os either.

sqwaddy:you must be new to emulation.if todays PC's where powerfull enough to emulate the ps2 why havent we seen an emu yet?,or even a working Dreamcast emu?,or a decent sega Saturn emu?.

the Saturn was less powerfull then the psx yet its 3 times as hard to emulate.you can play psx game at full speed on a 600mhz pc.yet even a 2.2ghz p4 will barely manage 20fps with the latest saturn emu's.
