Wink Playstation emulator for Xbox

Does any know if there is a playstation emulator for the Xbox? Or do I have to go and buy yet another playstation 2 just to play GT4?

Thanks in advance, Phill

nope
there is no way an xbox could emulate a ps2
it requires about 20 times the power of the original gizmo to realistically emulate
i wouldnt buy a ps2 though
gt4 is average

I know what you mean, I sold my PS2 years ago. Wanted to play GT4 as I would imagine it's ace, and wanted to race around the Ring

Dame shame though

Ah, the words of someone that puts graphics before gameplay....

If xbox2 supports feedback wheels, I may consider it for racing games, till then will stick to PC \ PS2...

nah the games got to play well but the pics ive seen of gt4 look pretty good if they are the proper in-game graphics. driving with a wheel doesnt compare with flicking a stick, of course its going to be much better. havent been used to the game pads until recently, played gt1or2 abit ages ago but twiddling the little joystick irritated the hell out of me as there seemed to be no control(ok so maybe it was me ) hence not getting a ps2. maybe if i play it now it would be better...

Going back to a pad now for racing games feels very detached - use a Logitech Driving Force Pro for GTR on the PC and Toca2 on the PS2, is so much more an immersive experience than twiddling the stick (ahem)

Hello mate, how do you use the same steering wheel on your PS2 and PC?? I have a wheel for the xbox but thought I may have to buy another one for the PC.
