Question
how do I go about playing my ps2 games on my laptop?
Gday Mike,
For a start running a PS2 disk on a PC is in no way perfect. It works but it has many issues.
There are a couple of things you will have to take into consideration.
The first being your PC. How good your Laptop is? Because you are going to need something with fairly good processing power, memory and good graphics card. What Operating system are you running? As most emulators will only run on XP (Not many have been written for Vista yet)
What type of controller you want to use. As it will have to plug in to your PS and it will have to be compatible for PS2 Games.
Probably the best emulator out there is on this site...

But like I have said it not perfect and the amount of time setting it up and that there are many issues you would be better off just buying a PS2. (I know it not portable like a laptop but it's guaranteed to play all the disks fine.
Hope this helps
