Please don't refer to illegal activities like hacking games consoles, Thanks - Dave

 

Using some trick, perhaps?

though now that i think about it the programming for all these platforms is a lot different, isn't it?

Yes. The games/software are programmed to a platform which, although having transparently similar features, present very different methods for their implementation. It would be like trying to install Windows software on a Mac, what would happen if you installed software on the Mac that utilised the Win32-API?

oh okkkk..i wont post such things.....i dont have idea about API sorry..do u think there cud be a way?but there are softwares and plugins wich u call as " emulators " that enables u to play roms of clasic nintendo consoles on a ps2.....moreover there are ps1, ps2 ,xbox emulators emulators for PC that enables u to play console games on pc..but its not fully tested ......i have tried ps1 discs on PC..iT works....but havent tried emulating ps2 discs

Yes I now realise that too.
btw, just for clarification I was asking about games made for all platforms, carbon for example, but now, I see that even that is pointless.

 

yeaaaa.....

 

.i have tried ps1 discs on PC..iT works.

With lots of choppy sounds and not so smooth looking graphics even with good plugins.

Yes, emulation is one option. The Wii has a virtual console (no less than a software emulator) built-into it that allows you to play the classics games on the NES, SNES, N64, Mega Drive, and quite a few more.

As with all emulation, the big issue is licensing.

I havent because my comp doesnt have much resources

Those were darn slow on my PC with AGP 5200 FX running at 4x instead of 8x.
The 2D Viewtiful Joe looked like it was running in slow motion.

 

LOL.....same fx5200 8x here,,,,,,,,so didnt try : )

 

I'm not sure I'd be confident of running a downloaded PS2 emulator. Could run it in a virtual machine but then the hardware resources are restricted.
