Using a computer to play console video games is made possible through the use of gaming emulators. The Sony PlayStation 2 emulator, PCSX2, has made it possible to play the PS2 games that you purchase through Sony, or at a retail store, directly from your computer. Configuring your keyboard to use as a controller can be done using one of the main controller plugins available for the PCSX2, but you can use alternative plugins. The Lilypad plugin is available to install on PCSX2 and works with keyboards, mice and gamepads.
Step 1
Download the Lilypad plugin that you want to install into PCSX2 if you have not already. Single-click the "Start" button on the desktop.
