Definitely you can, First of all u need a DVD player (obviously), then u need a state of the art PC, say P4 2.8 GHz or equivalent with good gfx card & atleast 512 MB RAM. Then download a PS2 emulator from the internet. Google for it. Get a PS2 game & you are ready to go.

But how will it run I mean the performance of PS2 games on PC will be the same?

pcsx plays all the PS2 games but you need the BIOS file which is a highly illegal file.

IIRC, bleem is a PS1 emulator.

There is no working PC emulator for any of the 4 consoles.

Your configuration requires 1024 MB RAM and still I have heard that the performance of the PS2 games on PC will be 10% of what we can get in PS2.

finally some one wrote the correct thing .

Most ps2 games run , but they run at unplayable fps. so no point in ps2 emulation rt now .
this site has list of games that run on the emulator , and the forums have screenshots of the games running submitted by the users. for now the site is under reconstruction so visit there sometime later .
