what are emulators..hjow to use?

Question

how to use ps2 emulatore..plz help!!
thanxxxxxx...if possible in a simple language.or step by step..thanks,....evryone!!!

Answer 1

wow ray.. he said simple!!!

ok basically an emulator (if you didnt know) is a program that (in this case) acts AS a ps2. Meaning you can play ps2 games on your computer. without actually having a ps2.

In order to do this.. you need a BIOS file from a ps2 to go along with the emulator. (Which is technicly illegal.....)

but. say you did get a ps2 emulator. I dont believe there are any completely working ones yet. After all.. the PS1 emulators still arent completely 95% working..

anyway, You'd just go file -> open .. select your DVD drive.. and click probably a main file.. or the emulator might start it by just picking the folder.

Like ray did say though.. in the event you FIND a working one and you get it to work, more than likely it will run a lot slower than it would on a real ps2.

Yahoo answers prettty much isnt the best place to ask this question, i think.

SO i think it'd be best just to use a ps2... saves time and hassle :3 (and its legal. lol)

Answer 2

A hardware emulator is an emulator which takes the form of a hardware device. Examples include printer emulators inside the ROM of the printer, and FPGA-based hardware emulators.

In a theoretical sense, the Church-Turing thesis implies that any operating environment can be emulated within any other. In practice, it can be quite difficult, particularly when the exact behavior of the system to be emulated is not documented and has to be deduced through reverse engineering. It also says nothing about timing constraints; if the emulator does not perform as quickly as the original hardware, the emulated software may run much more slowly than it would have on the original hardware.

Emulation refers to the ability of a program or device to imitate another program or device. Many printers, for example, are designed to emulate Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printers because so much software is written for HP printers. By emulating an HP printer, a printer can work with any software written for a real HP printer. Emulation "tricks" the software into believing that a device is really some other device.
