NFSU2 on PS2 and PCSX2
Playable on PCSX2. Use the emulator widescreen patch. Do not reuse PC texture packs as if they were PS2 packs.
What the PCSX2 wiki records
The research snapshot records PCSX2 compatibility as playable on Windows and Linux; the live game wiki could not be re-read during this review, so its current issue list is not asserted. Serials: SLUS-21065 for NTSC-U, SLES-52725 for PAL, SLPM-65766 for NTSC-J. Minimums cited by PCSX2 docs are an x86-64 CPU with SSE4.1, a single-thread PassMark around 1500, two cores, 8 GB of RAM and Vulkan 1.1, Direct3D 11 or OpenGL 3.3.
A Mac test on an M1 Pro with Metal ran about 30 to 50 frames at 4x native. Windows notes reach 60 frames on balanced settings. I treat those as test notes, not a promise for every scene.
Widescreen and textures
Enable PCSX2 widescreen patches. The GameCube version has a native 16:9 option in Dolphin's notes. For this emulation route, match the PCSX2 widescreen patch to the disc serial. I also found no maintained PS2 texture pack. HD packs in the mod scene target the PC executable.
