playing rpg3 games on PC

[Brotherbrian]

Does anyone know how I might be able to play the various rpg3 games people have made on PC? My wife is interested in checking them out, but our PS2 is plugged up in our 5yr olds room, on a relatively small screen, and she would like to play it on PC instead. This might make DLing them as she plays them a little easier. Any tips? I do not yet have the max drive kit. Hard to find now, at least on ebay.....
Shalom,
Brian

you'd have to find a PS2 emulator, and then put the disc in your computer and run it like that, and hope the emulator supports max drive files.

Has anyone successfully done this yet?

Um, another question, since this thread aint that long....
Where are all the RM3 games? Are there any that I can still DL?

Would RPGXP be better?

Instead of trying to locate and pay through the nose for a max drive (can't even find one anymore), should I just get the XP version instead? I would guess that it would make UL-DLing much easier, and my wife is wanting to play RPG's on her computer, not on the PS2 (which practically belongs to the 5yr old now). I never knew a 5 yr old who could figure out and beat Spider Man, Lego StarWars 1 AND 2, as well as Star Wars Battlefronts 1 AND 2 (he likes star wars a little bit).
Anyway, what y'all thank 'bout the XP version? Is it better than RPGM3? Sux? Awesome? Anything?

I don't own XP, but I have tried the trial version, and I think it's pretty cool. From what I've seen and heard, it's probably the best one out there. The only problem I have with it is that its for the PC, but thats just a personal preference. If I had a credit card, I'd own a copy.
