How Can You Modify a PS2 Game Using a Computer?

The PlayStation 2 (PS2) operates in a similar manner to a computer when it is playing a game disc on its DVD drive. You can modify a PS2 game on your computer so that it will think the computer is the PS2. This will let you run the PS2 game on the computer instead of having to use the PS2. You will need to download a few free programs created by PS2 enthusiasts. Neither the PS2 game disc, the computer or the PS2 will be affected in any way by playing the PS2 game on the computer.
