Softpedia Editor's Review for PCSX2
|
An useful and easy to use PS2 emulator
Written by Elena Opris on October 27th, 2011
Wouldn't you love to be able to play Playstation 2 games on your computer? Unfortunately, not all game developers who launch a product for Playstation 2 think about a PC version, so the rest of us mortals have to lay in our dark corner and think about a better world.
PCSX2 is useful software which you can use to make all your Playstation 2 dreams come true.
How does it work? You must own an original Playstation 2 game for starters. The freeware doesn't work with copies of any kind.
Once you have installed PCSX2, you have to choose a language in the configuration panel, as well as other more technical options. Then you load the game and play it till your fingers fall off.
The application consumed a fair amount of CPU resources, and the speed of the game was reasonable.
So, that's it: all hardcore gamers should have this type of software on their computer, and PCSX2 is a pretty good example of it. It's free, after all!
