pcsx2 is still an unfinished emulator, if you google for the forums from where it was created you will see the on going struggle to get them wroking well. The latest release is allowing the play of some games but not all. Most common problem has been the extremely low FPS and some games crashing like crazy when video sequences run.
Its still very much experimental but it is looking promising, dont expect all your games to work, to be honest very few will. Its not your system thats the issue its that the software isnt ready for it yet Note to mods - i'm talking about personally owned games here not pirated or downloaded games  http://forums.ngemu.com/pcsx2-official-forum/ Quote:

I'm pretty sure they have it... Just so you know, to play an NES, some emulators require somewhere around 300MHz! Average though is around a P166MHz. The original playstation required a processor around 400MHz. Now the PS2 is much more powerful and the GPU is many times more powerful. Oh, and don't forget about other things to emulate, like sound!
On top of this, emulation is typcially far from perfect. So, even if it did run at a resonable speed, I suspect few games would work well.
