PlayStation 2 Emulator for the Mac? Monday, October 22, 2001 11:36 AM | Eddie Park |
Looking for a PS2 Emulator for Mac OS X? Look no further then PCSX2, a full blown PS2 emulator for Mac OS X that works surprisingly well. I say surprising because it seems development work is a little infrequent and there are some features left to be desired, but it certainly works and the frame rate is pretty high on my MacBook.

i help apple build mac, they built the worlds smallest and the worlds fasted computers. one of them is nothing but the screen. |
| ||||
You guys who say 'yea i got a ps2 emu for mac off LIMWIRE' sure arent smooth criminals. You might as well stfu if u pirate anything. Of microsoft.... well i have to say i like macs better even if I work for microsoft. XBOX KICKS YOUR BEHIND THOUGH! |
| ||||
Well, i thought I'd add another useless comment just for the hell of it, because all you fuckheads obviously don't know jack shit about shit. Shit? Shit. Fuck, man, why would you post shit like this? Shit! Oh, yeah, well, I'm doing it but really couldn't tell you why either. Damn. Woah. Food! Running now! Adios! Stick your emulator up your butt! |

Mac's either making or letting someone else make a card for their comps that'll allow them to correctly read, and interpret PS2 games without having to decompress them. So it'll work just like a PS2. I've seen news about it all over the place. I'm sure some of you have heard about it by now. I don't know all the details, because the old mac I've got will probably not be compatible, but I have a friend who knows a lot about this and brought it to my attention when it was announced. They may or may not have a release date planned. I hope that was helpful. I wasn't sure whether you'd care about this or if you were looking for stuff for free. Either way, this will work better than any emulator you'll ever see, because sony is helping to make it as close to a real PS2 as possible. |

| ||
all good |
| ||||
If there's anyone who can give me that ps2 emu i would be really happy!!!!!Really happy!!! |
| ||||
I forgot to mention, I think the ps emus can only play cds. normally I wouldn't tell thins, but the console's are crap and break just after the warranty, sometimes before. I've already went through 2 psx and a ps one. |
| ||||
connectix sells emulators for macs only, there's a pc emu, that you can do all the things a pc can and use your mac's abilities at the same time. There's also a regular playstation emulator. I think playstation bought the company, so you'll have to find a demo of the psx emu (everything except saving). There may be a ps2 emu as well, but if there is the same rules would apply as witht he psx emu. |
| ||||
As for all the people who are suggesting that there is no PS 2 emulator for mac i agree although i am unhappy. As for the people who are saying crap like ohh!ohh! theres Ps2 emulators for mac.How dumb can u get Sony and Microsoft aren't exactly Mac's best friend let alone friends with each other!!!!Why the hell would they develop a product to make mac more money coz people are gunna buy them |

ps 2 emulator download |

Here's one way to play PS2 games on a Mac G4/G3. TRUST ME IT WORKS!!!!!!! 1. Open up the G4/3 tower and rip out all the components. 2. Go to Ebay/ Game/ Dixons and purchase a Sony Playstation 2. 3. Open up the tower and put in your new purchase. 4. Puchase a VGA cable to enable connection to your monitor. 5. Make usre the plug will reach the inside of the tower to connect to the PS2. 6. Insert PS2 game in PS2 and Hey presto!!!! Grando Tourismo magnifico on Maco! |
| ||||

Whoever the dude at the top is, I pretty much agree with him. As to froglogic, I think you should shut your pie hole before you embarrass your fellow Mac users again. You are to Mac users as Margaret Sanger was to the Democratic party. Anyway, not to drag politics into this, I would like to say that, for sheer entertainment value, a styrofoam cup beats out the mac as a gaming platform. (according to Gamespy.com, and I concur) Just think about it. We (mac users) use professional grade computers. We have the best tools available. Is some of the PC hate just jealousy? Sure. But they do have a right to gloat when games are concerned. We're up a creek without a paddle. Gaming is a business-- it's about making money. Art has a great deal to do with it, but there is a bottom line. PCs are for porn and video games. Bill Gates is a douche. Mac users, I wish to issue a challenge, a call to higher aspirations. Rally 'round the apple, boys! Press on! Let us rise above such plebian pursuits as gaming, and live lives full of desktop publishing and conceptual art! Let us make the technology available for the masses to entertain themselves; we are their masters. Mac owners, be silent no longer! To arms! To arms! Rally 'round the apple! |
| ||||
It never ceases to amze me the kind of idiots populate this god-forsaken planet. Anyway, you people need only to think about what you're saying, and you'll get your answer. There is no PS2 emulator for mac, and if there ever is one, it'll be years. It took a year and a half for Warcraft III to come out on mac, do you honestly think whoever writes the emulator is gonna bother to write it for mac? |
| ||||
again n' always I search an emul for mac please contact me if you are that !!! [email protected] |
| ||||
I need to know if this was a rumor or if this project will become true. Does anybody know anything about it? |
| ||||
anyone know anything of this? it was supposed to come out in 2002. |
| ||||
i need real emu ps2 email me [email protected] |
| ||
well well it seems that there are many ppl bashing macs here. wel all i have to say to that is take a quick gander at the bran new ones dual 800hgz processors and 2 gigs of ram. which is a hell of a lot better than any pc that you can buy, take that all you communists who have such a fragile grip on sociaty that you have to try and reashure your little bubble of a world by trying to demean and belittle a threat to a little thing you call a life I AM A MAC USER AND DAMN PROUD OF IT! now what do you have to say to that! |
| ||||
If anyone has a ps2 emulator for mac could you please e-mail me ([email protected]) and tell me where I can get my copy. |

YOU ARE A MORON...Lets think backward compatibility here....Ps2 has roughly what processing power again? somewhere round 200-300mhz...U want to tell me why a program cannot becreated to run a game at a reasonable speed? Right now i'm using a 1.06mhz p3 type m processor and i'm using less than 6% of the fuckin power....Ram...hmm...not enough?? U are a retard, i think a gig of ram is waaaaayyy enough for that...Now as for compression...Those games arent loaded all the way in ram it does it little by little, so technically, we would use up the same amount of ram that a ps2 loads in one data read + the ram for the program...As for video cards, i think the new geforce cards are pleanty...128, ddr ram...And just for shits and giggles incase you try to say something about dvd drives too, yeh, pc drives spin faster.... Now the ps2 was designed by computers, built by computers, and partly programmed by computers...There is no way in hell that u can say its not possible. |

THERE SHOULD BE AN EMULATOR FOR WINDOWS LIKE BLEEM AND VGS, COZ MOST PEOPLE FOR THIS WORLD WINDOWS. IF THERE EXISTS ANY EMULATOR FOR WINDOWS OR ANY OTHER OPERATING SYSTEM, THEN IT SHOULD REQUIRE SOME HIGH RAM OR SOME GRAFIC CARD. |

| ||||
I want one for Ibm compatables. |
| ||||
I know an emulator for the mac is great but hurry up i am waiting |
| ||||
I know an emulator for the mac is great and all but what about the people who have windows,I think they should be focused on as well as the people who have a mac. |
| ||||
vvv |
| ||||
I hope this is for real... The only problem I have with my Mac is that if I want to play sports games (like anything from EA) than I'm SOL! With an emulation software this would no longer be an issue. However, if EA decides to ever develop games for MacOS, this would also solve the problem. |

I'll believe it when I see it...isn't April a way off? |
