    Emulators are okay, getting roms for games that you don't own is illegal.

    Though, I have also heard of emulators for the ps2 that will run ps2 cds on the pc. Or was that ps1 cds on the pc. Been a long time since i was in the emulation scene.

    ps1 emulator was shut down by sony with a barrage of friv lawsuites which bankrupted Bleem! Never heard of an emu for ps2 since.

    I was talking about playing my ps2 games on my pc after my ps2 shit itself!

    But the thing is youd probably need roms to use in emulator. And i guess roms are not legal.

    Correct, ROMS are not legal, unless you own them (the original games) already (from what I heard many years ago...this may have changed).

    The playstation EMUs use the actual store bought cds to play.

    One more thing. Emulator and rom sites arent very safe( virus,spyware...)
