Is there a way to play a PS2 unit on the PC (windows 8.1)?

I have some of the older PS2 games like Bustin Out, The Sims, and a few others as well.  I do also have the PS2 unit to play them on.  I was wondering if there is a way I can play the PS2, connecting the PS2 to my PC (windows 8.1) and playing those game that way? 

~~Edit~~  Sorry I just realized I might have posted this in the wrong section.

    Download and Install a PlayStation 2 emulator on your computer. There are many different PS2 emulators available online, which you can find in the references section of this article.

    Restart your computer. The fresh boot of your operating system will ensure that the emulator has installed properly, eliminating any problems you may face.

    Insert your PlayStation 2 game disk into your computer's DVD-compatible disk drive. Allow the machine between fifteen and twenty seconds to read the disk and exit out of any menus that may open.

    Open your PS2 emulator and select "Open" or "Open File, "depending on the emulator. From the menu, double-click your disk drive. The emulator will automatically recognize the disk and begin playback.

    Tip

    If you have an older computer, PS2 emulators may not work properly, as PS2 games require a lot of graphics processing power.

    Best regards!

    moved your post to other Sims games (not sure if that's really the right section either, tbh).

    Maybe someone here knows.
