Already reported here how to run emulators for SNES Mega Drive and the PS2. Now show how to play NES, or our acquaintance "Nintendinho" (as incarnated in Brazil in various clones, with various names - including the current "Polystation").
The program emulating the NES responsible for the PS2 is the "It Might Be Nes" or simply "imbNES." Unlike emulators for SNES and Mega Drive, the imbNES was done for the first Playstation (PSX PSOne or, to call you like), and of course, so it can be turned on the PS2 (released, of course).
But finally, let the step-by-step.
Mounting the CD
On page http://imbnes.gamebase.ca/downloads.html, download the following files:
The emulator: imbnesv1.3.2 (or later, if any)
Program Rombank: rombank v1.6.3
Unpack the files of the emulator in a temporary folder.
Run the program rombank.exe. Unlike the other emulators that I already mentioned, the ROMS are not recorded directly on the CD, they are all united in a file and this is going to the CD.
Click the button and select the ROMS you want on the CD. You can get the NES ROMS at http://roms.net78.net/roms.php?v=nes.
Order ROMs on the way suits you. You can click on the button to sort alphabetically.
Ending the sorting, click the button To generate the ISO image of the CD. Clicking on this button, the CD will not be created. Only the image, which can be recorded by any program (like Nero, for example).
Record the image generated by rombank.exe on a CD.
Users of Linux
The assembly requires that emulator to run utilities that run only on Windows platform, then it is not possible by normal means perform these steps on the Linux platform. I tried to run in Wine (version 1.0 of Kubuntu 8.04) but did not work. If you try other versions, you should also get the library mfc42.dll and save the same directory as the rombank.exe, because he needs this DLL.
Using
If the CD generated work, you just have to know that:
Directional: moving the list of games
L1 and R1: previous page and next, respectively
L1 + R1: go to the middle of the list
Triangle: menu of options
Start: play the game selected
L1 + R1 + Start + Select: exit the game and return to the list
Possibly Frequently Asked Questions
I can not write the games on the Playstation 2 memory card. Why?
Because the imbNES was developed for the PSOne. Like any other game for PSOne, you must use a memory card to record the PSOne, and not the regular PS2 memory card. In addition, he must be in slot 1.
How do I save states in the middle of the game?
Apparently, the emulator does not have this feature. Only you can save the game in a few rounds of the season that they had any rescue, and when you play again, then that point, not the exact point as the emulators that have the responsibility to "save state".
When you try to exit the game the emulator detect that the SRAM has been amended and asked if you want to save the SRAM or discard. Answer that want to save, recalling that should be in the PSOne memory card slot and 1.

How to run a Sega Genesis emulator on PS2
There is already here on the site a guide to how to play the PS2 SNES. Similarly, there is also a way to play Sega Genesis in the Playstation 2. Thanks to the emulator PGen.
What do I need?
You need a Playstation 2 and released a CD blank CD. It may be that CD, DVD need not be, unless you just turn your video DVDs
If your video is not released, try the Magic Swap.
How you do it
The PGen can be installed on the memory card or recorded on CD, with or without ROMs. By find it more practical, as show below the record with the CD ROMs. In addition to CD for use as a normal game, do not consume precious space in the memory card.
First you must download the emulator. Download the version 1.2 at http://www.gamebase.ca/pgen/downloads/pgen-1.2.zip. Unzip in any directory.
Now you will burn the CD with the files. At the root of the CD, you will place the files PGEN_12.ELF and SYSTEM.CNF. Also create a directory on the CD ROMS (or another name if desired) and place your ROMs inside. If you want, you can create subdirectories to organize. Burn the CD using MODE2/XA. When in doubt, use the same instructions for the SNES emulator (instructions: K3b or Nero).
Additional Information
From version 1.4 of PGen you can load from pendrives ROMs and hard drives (if your have a PS2). However the latest version on the site is 1.2. In Wikipedia has a link to a purported version 1.5.1, but not come to test.

How to run a SNES emulator on the PS2
Emulators are instruments of gambiarra by definition. Many people play on the computer, but does not know that you can play games of Super Nintendo in the Playstation 2. Through a program called SNES Station.
The SNES Station is an emulator based on SNES9X, an emulator of Super Nintendo very popular PC, built to run on the PS2 hardware. He does not run very well all game, but you can play many of them, risking say that the majority. The program's website says it is a work in progress, but the latest update is 2003 and the README file that comes with it is dated 2004. So do not expect it to become better than that, just take what already exists.
I will describe here how to mount a CD containing the emulator and games.
What is needed?
You must be thinking that I will tell you where to get ROMs for download. Because at http://roms.net78.net/roms.php?v=snes has several games for download.
In addition to the ROMs that you'll need your Playstation 2 is released to run the emulator. I think that is another way of using such a Swap Magic. But I do not know, then I can not say how, or if it works.
In addition, you will only need a CD recorder and one of those programs to make the recording itself (K3b, Nero, etc). That method of Windows, to drag files directly to CD does not serve.
So, let's put your hand in the mass.
Method of preparation
First, download the program:
http://snes-station.gamebase.ca/files/snes_0_2_3_20040124.zip
Unzip it into a temporary directory any. You'll see some files, but focus on two of them:
SNES_EMU.ELF
SYSTEM.CNF
The first is that the emulator executable. The second is a file needed for the video game knows what run when reading the CD.
Now using a program to start recording a new project of CD data, and place the files SNES_EMU.ELF and SYSTEM.CNF in the root directory. I use K3b to burn CDs (I use Linux) but should not be very different in other similar programs for Windows.
UPDATE: I created a post with instructions to write to Nero Express:
SNES Station - Instructions for Nero
Add to project the SNES ROMs for you. They can be divided into subdirectories, to facilitate the selection. In my own, for example, has a sub-folder for each letter. But it can also divide by gender, or any other division that makes sense for you.
Some settings must be respected, and are different from those of normal data CDs.
Recording mode: it must be chosen "Disc at once" (or DAO, depending on the program)
The speed must be the smallest possible
Datatrack mode: should be "Mode 2" (no self, no Mode 1)
The CD can not be MultiSession
Save the project on the CD. If you use a laptop, using no serious battery charge, only connected to the outlet. It seems silly, but for some reason, the CDs recorded with only the battery does not usually read by the PS2, even if you have correctly recorded and the computer can read.
Using
It is very simple. On the menu, the menu called the triangle of settings, and X chooses the game or enter the folder. After you enter the folder, so out of it is just pick the first item, the "..".
Within the game, L1 + R1 calls the menu, which can be used to save the game, load a saved game or exit the game (back to the screen of choice). Even with recording of "states".
The buttons on the SNES are the buttons corresponding to the same positions on the PS2. L and R are the L2 and R2, and you can either use the D-Pad on the left as the analog directional.
What games work?
Not all tried, of course, only that I love, and my taste is not within the standard. But I can say the side of those who enjoy the same games as me. Small slowdowns happen sometimes, regardless of who is running game, but end up in seconds rather than hinder. Some games work well but the music is strange. It has no way, you'll have to test it.
They work perfectly:
Super Mario World
Super Mario All Stars
Donkey Kong (and it seems, everyone)
Street Fighter 2 (perfect!)
Top Gear 2
Bomber Man (I think all)
Do not work well:
F-Zero (is a little slow, and the music is weird)
Yoshi's Island (very slow and gives some fought long, it does not play)
Megaman X3 (works well, but when you get a sub-locks boss the game and only unlatches when you die; not tried the other series)
There are also other programs for other consoles (Mega Drive / Genesis, Sega Master System, NES, etc.), and I also want to give the recipe for some of them. Some details change, but how to burn the CD tends to be very similar. And it is worth the work, only to be able to play at the TV room of the games that were part of his childhood.
