I kept up with Pcsx2 development for a while and even developed some capture plugins for a while (never really got anywhere) ....so it's good to hear emulation finally got there (Pcsx2 or not) ...still my impression was in order to play games other than simple 2D stuff you'd need a fairly power house computer and the PS2 has a lot of exotic feeback hardware which if a game used would bring any PC graphics hardware to a crawl. The specs for PCIe could definitely have accommodated the two way requirements but for years no graphics hardware really took advantage of PCIe as a bidirectional architecture and nothing appeared to be on the horizon. That doesn't seem like it was that long ago however I would not be surprised if the landscape has been radically altered in the meantime.
