How to Download PS2 Games on a Computer for Free

It is generally agreed that the PlayStation 2 was one of the greatest consoles of its era, due in part to its graphics, in part to its aggressive marketing campaign and in large part to the number and variety of games available for Sony's juggernaut. These days, it can be difficult for a PS2 owner to find backups for his favorite games due to the fact that games no longer are being produced thanks to the advent of the PS3. So, when a favorite game breaks--or has a beverage spilled on it--a PS2 owner often has no choice but to turn to the Internet for backups of the game in question. It should be noted, however, that downloading a PS2 game is legal only if you already own the physical game.

  Click on the name of the PS2 game you wish to download. This will take you to a page with several download links. Because PS2 games are so large in size, they typically are split down into smaller chunks and uploaded to file-hosting websites like Rapidshare or MegaUpload.
