PCSX2, like its predecessor project PCSX2, is based on a plug-in architecture, separating several functions from the core emulator. These are the graphics, audio, input controls, CD/DVD drive, and USB and Firewire (i.LINK) ports. Different plug-ins may produce different results in both compatibility and performance. Additionally, PCSX2 requires a copy of the PS2 bios, which is not available for download from the developers, due to the copyright concerns and legal issues associated with it. A free clone of the official BIOS is in development.
Can we play online ps2 games on pc ?
Yes, PCSX2 is emulator whic plays ps2 games on pc, PCSX2 Developer "GHZ" has created a plug-in allowing the emulator to connect to the PS2 internet service, enabling certain games to be playable over the internet with other players, even if they are playing on a PS2 console.The two games which the PCSX2 team have confirmed to be working with the ONLINE function on version 0.9.4 are XIII and Monster, Other games have been reported as working, this feature can be used on new pcsx2 0.9.7 also. but there are currently no known working servers left for PS2 games.How to configure PCSX2 perfectly

Performance
Speed prior to version 0.9 was between 2 and 15 frames per second depending on the game, PC hardware, and plug-in configuration―with the PS2 BIOS itself being one of the fastest pieces of software to emulate. Since the release of version 0.9 in April 2006, performance has greatly increased. Most 2D games and menus can reach 60-120 frame/s when specific plug-ins are used, and with the latest version, it is possible to reach speeds greater than the native PS2 frame rate of 60 frame/s (NTSC) and 50 frame/s (PAL). In version 0.9, PCSX2 also added support for dual core CPUs, resulting in a very significant performance increase on systems with dual core processors.Plug-ins
Several plug-ins are currently being further developed, for performance and compatibility enhancements. GSdx[1] is the highest performing graphics plug-in for Windows and utilizes DirectX. Development is tied to PCSX2's Google Code project, so new builds will follow in step with PCSX2's project SVN numbers. Hardware mode typically yields the fastest framerate and is accompanied with a texture resolution hack that can upscale to virtually any size (thus creating smoother lines and less jaggies), but this mode is not always the most accurate and at times switching to the native resolution or software mode will create a more complete image. Software mode is necessarily slower in nearly all cases, but it has the option of choosing the number of processor threads to use, which is optimally the maximum number of cores your processor contains (this is currently the only method for utilizing more than 2 cores/processors with PCSX2). ZZogl[2] (based on Zero GS) is the most recently developed OpenGL-based graphics plug-in, which is commonly used by Linux users, since DirectX is exclusive to Windows. By nature, it is noticeably slower than GSdx, since it doesn't efficiently offload enough tasks to the video card. The OpenGL graphics plug-in has recently been integrated into the PCSX2 source code project hosted at Google Code, labeled as "zzogl-pg". Many fixes are being made that will allow it to function properly and receive updates for performance, hopefully bringing it closer to the level of the GSdx counterpart.BIOS
The BIOS provides a small library of basic input/output functions used to operate and control the peripherals such as the keyboard, text display functions and so forth, and these software library functions are callable by external software. In the IBM PC and AT, certain peripheral cards such as hard-drive controllers and video display adapters carried their own BIOS extension ROM, which provided additional functionality. Operating systems and executive software, designed to supersede this basic firmware functionality, will provide replacement software interfaces to applications.
