[Apoorvdec]

hello guys , my brother has a surface 2 and we like to run ps2 games on it .. i know that there are ps2 emulators for windows 8 out there but will they run on surface??

The Surface 2 is running on ARM architecture not X86-64. The only applications that will run on the Surface 2 is though the Store there is no PS2 emulator available and possible not for the near future, If you're talking about Surface Pro 2 then a working PS2 emulator can be found here: The Emulator Zone - PCSX2

For now, there is only a few console emulators for the RT, the PS2 is not one of them. If you own the Surface 2 Pro then you can use the PCSX2 which is x86 compatible, but don't expect the PS2 emulator to work right in the surface 2 pro.

Keep in mind that emulating the PS2 is a very demanding task and needs powerful hardware, only PC's or laptops with decent specs can run properly the PCSX2. You won't even find a real working PS2 emulator for iOS or Android... only in PC's, laptops or some tablets with regular W8-8.1

I never realised emulating an 8 year old console was so tough?

Yup very tough. I tried it on my gaming laptop, and man it is taxing the performance (the PS2 emulator become laggy and the animation is laggy)

Its hardware emulating hardware emulating software, Its the reason why emulators are demanding.
