Is there such an emulator or program that will let me play Playstation or Playstation 2 games on My Pc without downloading Isos' and Plugins? I am talking about popping the Cd in my Cd drive and playing it from there.

Psx: Yes any Psx emulator will let you play that way (there are some that doesn't require bios too)
Ps2: You're out of luck, there is no such thing that can emulate Commercial games.

They're coming close on the PS2 front though. Some emulators can get to title screens but that's about it to my knowledge.

Even when they get to playable states, it'll take a while for speeds to become acceptable.

The only PS2 game thats actually playable this way (even tho you still need to d/l a few things) is FFX. Some japanese guy had videos of him playing FFX, but he could only get up a little past the title screen. Like where your in that city and blitzball is going on. I cant really remember FFX because I really hated it But like Colleen said, the slowdown is VERY slow.

I think that this topic may have been at gamefaqs.com but again it was like a year or so ago

I have heard of PS2 emulators that supposedly play PS2 games, but not by putting a real disk in and running it.

Like Colleen said, it would be slow as hell. I think that if your computer can't handle Doom3 than It'll have problem handling PS2 games.

For the PSX: Your best bet is ePSXe. Probably the best PSX emu out there...but...you have to get a few things such as plugins and BIOS files (SCPH-1001 I think is the only one they ask for) for it to run.

You can also insert CDs that have the ISOs on them/trained. I've done that with Xenogears, +9 trainer added on.

For the PS2: Well...like everyone else said...there's not a lot going strong...some run demos, some run stuff like Blade 2/Mortal Kombat 5 only, some don't run period.
