the is really no way that you will be able to emulate ps2 games on your psp due to the fact that you need a significantly larger amount of power needed to emulate other systems and the psp does not have that power...i can barely emulate the n64....so you can emulate the ps2 on your psp or your comp

No, where he said 'can' he meant 'can't'.

Essentially, a PSP should be able to run PS2 games. A PSP's hardware specs actually are better than a PS2's. But, such a task is not possible.

Actually, anything's possible. If we took enough time, we could completely reformat the whole PSP system to be a PS2 and run ISO's off of it.
But to program something to do such a thing would take well over a year or two of nonstop programming.

ouch 1-2 years of of programming that would be intense

Is it really? Wow, I've never sat down and compared specs, but isn't the PS2's processor much faster than the PSP's?

Actually, anything is possible in Harry Potter or other books for children only. Split hairs if you want, but the question is if there will ever be a fully functional PS2 emulator on the PSP. The answer is no.

Actually the queston is "Can you put a PS2 game on your PSP"

The answer without question is yes! You are only limited by your memory card as a memory card can hold anything and is only limited by its capacity.

What use a PS2 game would be on a PSP is another question.

What a pointless attempt at splitting hairs. We all knew what he meant.
