Although Play! is still in development, know that you can join the beta testers community to register as a tester, if you want to test the emulator.
There are many game system emulators for Android. You can run many games consoles such as GameBoy, NES, Nintendo 64 and even the PlayStation 1, the GameCube and Wii on an Android device. But the PS2 is a kind of Mount Everest for emulation challenges.
To date, there has only been one particularly successful emulator of PS2 to PC , although some others are under development. The problem is that the PS2 was (or if you are nostalgic) a rather complicated machine that was based on the CPU Sony Emotion Engine and Graphics Synthesizer GPU, and even Sony had basically put the same chips in early versions PlayStation 3, so that users are able to run older games developed for the PS2 on newer hardware, and more powerful.
So the fact that the PS2 games work on all Android smartphones and tablets low power is quite impressive. But to date, so that you can load games on the emulator !, Play games run so slowly that you might not take a lot of pleasure .
Play! is also available for Windows and OS X, so you may have more luck on these platforms. Or you can try the emulator PCSX2 that has existed for some time (or consider just buy a PS2).
