No. An .iso is an image file format. It doesn't provide for any format conversion.

PC games are for PCs and PS1/2 games are for PS1/2. Duh.

why would you think you can play a PC game on your PS2? that makes no sense. You don't have to burn the ISO file to a CD though. you can use a free program like Daemon Tools which creates a virtual drive and mount the iso image.

i don't think it was disrespectful, just surprising. i've never seen that question asked before, but i guess there's a first time for everything.

IMHO no, it's not plausible at all.

Playing movies on different platforms in not the same as running code designed for a specific hardware platform on a different hardware platform.

Movies are in a standard format that can be played using programs designed for a specific hardware platform using a common/compatible medium.

Gaming code is designed for a specific hardware platform and code designed to run on one platform will not port automatically to another platform even if it's a compatible medium since the instruction sets are wholly different.

And no, emulation doesn't count.

And no, I'm not trying to be a smart a**, I'm trying to help educate you.
