PS1, not so much...just a lot of messing around with the settings.

For PS1 you can manage to emulate it well even with a crappy computer since you can make the graphics very basic; worse than the actual console. If you have a good computer, you can get more out of the emulator (ePSXe) than you did from the console, plus you get to save in any game, anywhere.
For the
PS2, even if it's possible to emulate it with a somewhat decent computer, I think it's not even worth the trouble. The consoles are really cheap and easy to hack (50$ used in stores), it's getting easier to find games online, the ones you can't find online are 5 to $20 used and all the fun accessories are dirt cheap too... I bought the SingStar microphones for $20, a controller shaped like 2 guns for FPS for $10, a wireless GH/RB guitar for $10 and the Buzz controllers with a game for $10 as well... all brand new. You can even get a S-Video cable for your
PS2, which is still better than composite. Emulation is fun for systems you can't find anymore, but there's nothing like a nice TV, a comfortable couch and some friends to enjoy a game.
It's sad that we're witnessing the decline of the
PS2, but I'm far from ready to put it away for good for the
PS3.
