Spend 60 bucks and find a sale somewheres. I just grabbed a bunch of great PS2 titles for $5 a pop.
It's actually pretty good now for slightly obsolete computers(stuff thats a few years old). Heck, the leading emu was built specifically for FFX, as thats what they were aiming to emulate. I've played FFXII on it(since my ps2 died) and my computer isn't a total behemoth(Q6600, 4 gigs of ram, 2x9600gt's sli'd... but Ive run it outside of using SLI and for a while was only at 2 gigs of ram). If your computer is ancient, or just doesnt have dual core or an ok gfx card, then dont try to emulate on your computer...go buy a ps2, cuz it's cheaper than upgrading your computer to play it.

That said, the emu still has problems(Gitaroo Man is slow and it's my favorite game in my library...so I ended up buying a ps2 again) and I still suggest buying a ps2. They are hella cheap.
