Does anyone know how to play ps2 games on there Xbox?

Can't, it's impossible. If somebody told you that you can, they are wrong and/or was lying. Do not beleive them.

How can there be a PS2 emu when there isnt even a PS1 emu yet? The PS1 specs would be a lot easier to achieve.

You could gut a PS2 and put it in an Xbox case I guess but that sounds like a waste of a good Xbox.

could just be a april fools most likely

butf or the fun of it....do you know what game he was playing?

anyway i dont think ps2 emulation on the xbox is going to happen...if it aint on the pc it wont be on the xbox...beisdes....the system running the emulator has to be a lot more powerful than the system your emulating

AXmichigan · #8 01-04-2003, 18:03

nah
not april fools
cuz he was doin this a while ago last time i check
but i dunno how he did it
ive been wonderin
im goin to be visitin my cuz in a week or two so i may just ask the guy there
or if i talk to my cuz sooner
all i remember is taht he said hes using a matrix
well
ill let yall know

clarky · #9 02-04-2003, 05:34

what game was he playing then? could have just been a game like metal gear solid which is availble on both consoles

AXmichigan · #10 02-04-2003, 14:32

ehh thats what i thought
but my cuz said it was a ps2 game
he said somethin about hookin the xbox up to the pc...
yea i dunno

Well thats easy enough. The PS2 only has a little worthless 233MHz vs the XBox's 733MHz P!!!.

actually, if a console were to emulate the ps2, it would probably need at least 4 times wha tthe xbox has. I mean, the PC ps2 emulator that is being worked on only gets about 5fps with a pentium 4, 2ghz+. So it is highly unlikely that the xbox would even be able to emulat at 25% speed. For this and other major hardware differences, I don't think a ps2 emulator would ever be out.

clarky · #14 02-04-2003, 18:09

there probably will be one on the pc eventually....not any time soon...but mouth of the word has it that metal gear solid 2 on the xbox is just emulating the ps2 version...not a usual port...hence the slow down in some areas....not trying to get anyone excited but you never know

Quall999 · #15 02-04-2003, 18:24

I doubt it's emulation, probably a standard port. I don't think it would be easy to emulate the game on the xbox, probably easier to just port it. If the xbox version looks better that the ps2 version, then it is definately not emulated. Filtering may help, but it wouldn't do so much as to make the lighting and sound quality better.
