Okay, I'm having trouble finding good emulators for PS2 and Gameboy color for my computer. I'm pretty sure my OS is windows XP.
The emulators that I've found doesn't seem to work for me. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

Not that I can help, but which ones have you tried?

GBA emulators usually work for gameboy colors. Try Visualboy Advance.

PS2 can be tricky though. It's last generation, so it's not quite considered old yet.

PS2 hasn't got a proper emulator as far as I know. I do have one (forgot its name), but it lags worse than Dink without Herb Boots.

PCSX2 works fine... if you need at least a 3.33 GHz PC. To emulate a console perfectly, you need 10 times the specs, and PS2 is 333 MHz.
For GBC, I say Visualboy Advance.

I just found out that the OS is windows 7, not XP. Also, the emulators that I've tried don't work because of something to do with 'bits'. Like, the computer is 64-bit and the games are a lower number than that.
My oldest brother is really confusing when he tries to explain computer stuff to me.

Life? What's that? Can I download it?! 
I would recommend PCSX2 for emulating PS2 games on PC.

If you have an android phone you can use GBCoid. Works like a wonder for the GBC games.

I'll have to see if that one will work. Thanks Quiztiz.
