You can use a PlayStation 2 emulator to play PS2 games on your computer. Note that it is illegal to play a PS2 game on your computer if you don't own a hard copy of the game and a PS2 console. Instead of playing the PS2 game with your keyboard, you can configure an analog controller to work with your emulator.
