MagitekAngel Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Umm yeah. You will need an emulator. Without one, your computer won't know what to do with the game discs. I'd go with ePSXe and PCSX2. You probably have the rig to run some PS2 games at good speed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it you do not understand? It cannot be done. Emulation is required. Is there a communication problem?

LidLikesIntellivision Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 You need an emulator to use the pc with ps discs! Only other way was to put a real playstation inside your pc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This is about as useful of a link as I could find: http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=42852 You need mad case modding and electronic skills. The CD/DVD drives used in the Playstations are NOT PC compatible. You'd have to gut a Playstation and somehow mount it inside your PC case. Next, you'd have to somehow get a Playstation compact disc drive to fit in a normal half-height bay. You'd also have to figure out how to extend and mount the power buttons on the Playstation side. What I did is purchase a monitor with lots of connections. I use Component for my 360, HDMI for my PS3 and VGA for my PC. The point for me is to sit in the same place and have all my systems a TV remote away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's not all that a retarted question. I can see everything going well except the darn PS2 compact disc drive. PC/Console hybrids have happened in the past including the Sega Teradrive. I almost bought a 3DO Blaster back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC/Console hybrids have happened in the past including the Sega Teradrive. I almost bought a 3DO Blaster back in the day. There's a lot more to it than the ROM drive. But the fact is, most DVD-ROM drives can read the disks without any problem. PS1/2 software is not in any way compatible with Windows based PCs. There's absolutely no reason to expect the games to play, even if the disks were fully readable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
