we know that there is a psx4droid emulator for playstation games to be played on android phones, but do you think the samsung galaxy s devices possess enough cpu/gpu power to play some ps2 games?

I do believe they have the power to process ps2 games, but have fun getting an emulator to run the games correctly.
It would be fun to use a ps3 dualshock via bluetooth with mah phone :D

Sorry, but probably will never happen. Ok, I know ya have gpu, and cortex and blahblah, but ps2 games needs a completely different environment to run. One of my friends has got a 2GHz Intel dualcore cpu with gpu video card and they even run laggy. Just to let you know

No. The psx4droid is running older games and it can just barely be playable on some phones. You would have to a) write the best emulator ever in the world or just wait until the hardware is fast enough for it

Unfortunately the lag comes from coding not hardware so you would really just need a team.of devs. Your better off hoping for well developed mobile games lol. The quake 3 port was cool though. I wonder if more of that can happen

While the SGX540 is a great GPU for a mobile device, it's still not a 16 pipeline part with 48GB/s memory bandwidth. The SGX540 has a max memory bandwidth of 4.2GB/s with only 4 pipelines. Memory bandwidth aside, I'm sure that it could handle PS2 games in some respect... though even then it would still stutter pretty bad. Memory bandwidth kills the idea. :)

ah, i see. thanks for putting that into perspective. I guess that it will take time for technology to develop even further on these phones

I do not think that we will ever see PS2 emulated in software on a Galaxy S Phone. The PS2 has one of the most difficult setups to emulate with multiple processors running in tandem at different frequencies. Even the PS3 had to have some or all of the chips on board in order to have the ability to run PS3 games. Once Sony decided to remove those chips as a cost cutting measure, bye bye backwards compatibility. If Sony can't do it, what makes you think a bunch of hackers can.
