      in some of the researches that i made about emulators i found that the ps2 have a 64-bits processor so is it possible to emulate ps2 games on the raspberry pi 3

          Although the ps2 shares the commonality of having a 64-bit processor like the Rpi3, there is quite a bit more to emulation than surface similarities. For instance, one general rule that has seen few exceptions is that a machine intending to emulate another machine should be in the neighborhood of four times faster than the original. Even then, there are still circumstances that would prohibit proper emulation. At this point in time, the Rpi is just not fast enough and is unlikely to be fast enough for quite a few updates yet to come.
