Mamutte: I have a PSX but don't have FF7.

Heretic777: My friend bought the entire PS1 collection on 1Tb external HD with included emulator for $150 and he just plugs it into his computer and can play all the games perfectly. He might get the PS2 collection too, but that is more expensive.
Emulating PS2 also requires a much beefier PC, with almost anything short of a quad-core CPU being not good enough. Even quad-cores are given a run for their money by Final Fantasy X-2, which is arguably the toughest game to emulate for some reason.

Yeah, i unlocked an AMD X3 720 @2.8Ghz to a Phenom 2 X4 20 @3.4Ghz but still very few fps improvement gained. So i think to run smooth PCSX2 (PS2 emulator) you should have at least a Core i5 k series Sandy or Ivy Bridge with maximum OC you can get from them. I see every owners of i5 2nd gen and 3rd gen could easily get 4.5Ghz with little bump voltage and hsf air.

/ps: With all these gaming sales, i always broke :(, still need earning much more to have chance touch to shiny combo 2500k + Z77 :((

It is also dependant on gfx card. Not that even GTX660 would help me, as I have Pentium Dual Core E6500 @2.93. Still, I managed to play ff x with some hickups, nothing too bad.
Anyway, I got ps2 few weeks ago, to save myself from suffering in emulator. Now if only gamepads weren't packed for 1000 years as they are loosing contact...

You guys are exaggerating things, my legit Phenom II X4 955 could emulate PS2 games smoothly. Hell, it even ran Super Smash Bros. Brawl fine.

It's partly processor, partly graphics card related. If both are decent you'll get good results in PCSX2.

I couldn't pass on a deal like that either... :P

Ha, same here. Not a big fan of Civ 5 compared to previous versions but for $3, I'm willing to give it another chance. Although almost gave up - was my first time buying from GMG and their verification system kept me going around in circles till I called my bank and got it fixed. Whew.....downloading it now finally.

http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-JA/jagged-alliance?caff=1869351
This game was once given out for free to GOGers after the infamous GOG-reboot.

The quote that sold it to me: "This Cat is lazy, even by cat-standarts"
Besides that great RPGs.
Part 3 is only available on Steam though.
