Im not sure if this is an ok topic to discuss, since emulation tends to go hand in hand with piracy, and if that is the case, then please forgive me.
I "have a friend" who wants to get into ps2 emulation. He already owns a ps2 slim, and the game he wants to run, so im not sure if there are any legal issues. However, he wonders if it is really worth it. Would his system be able to run it well?

As for the second title phrase. His other option is to use his ps2 slim with his flat screen. Although in doing so he gets a very blurred , crappy picture. He tried Component cables for the ps2 instead of the included composite cables, but the picture was still sub par. So should he invest in a upscaler for his ps2? Or try the Emulation route?
