PCSX2 frustration...

I've bought an old PS2 game to play, it aint out for PC, but i can't be bothered to set up the PS2.

I thought to my self "hey i've got PS1, Mega Drive, SNES & N64 emulators. So why not a PS2 Emulator?"

Two minutes on google and i've got one namely pcsx2, fine.

The thing is awkward as hell to configure and when you do get it working that is when you get the massive kick in the balls...

You need hardware from the year 2020 to play for some reason ( i think some guy said it is because the CPU has to do all the work) because todays hardware just won't play lowly PS2 games @ playable FPS's.

Anyone shed any techie knowledge on this subject & also what is the point to the software, right now, when people with C2Q's cant get playable FPS's (from net research) ?
