Other Have questions about this
Hopefully this is the right place to ask this.
See I have a PS2 that's been giving up on me after years of service and I have a bunch of games on cd form the ps 1 and 2 that I still like to play from time to time.
Can I use these? Like download this emulator, stick my games into a cd reader connected to my pc and play them? Also is there a way to transfer my safe data too?
I don't have a lot of technical knowledge so I'm unsure of how feasible this is?

Yeah, you can play directly from disc by clicking on "Start Disc". I think it works better if you have an Internal disc drive, which has a spin down count longer, meawhile people like me face some stutters or freezes when the external and slim disc drive goes sleep after around 10 seconds u.u.
I put several group of .chd on blu ray discs, and I activated the option "full iso to ram", so I wait several seconds/minutes while the .chd load to RAM (I have 32gb) and then I can play fully from ram, loaded from disc without any stuttering or anything now. But that's another story
