I don't know what to tell you mate, I've had three fat boys and two skinnys and all of them have had their disc drive fail. Which is a common issue with them to the point where its one of the first repair guides you can find, though granted I've likely been quite unlucky to have that many.
And the PS2 emulator is the only one I've ever had problems with, as I've got most other emulators running just fine. Which, again, based on discussions I've had over many years seems to not be just a me issue though I see plenty of people running it just fine. Which is why I went with "spotty" instead of nonfunctional.
Thankfully a large portion of PS2 games ended up ported or remastered on the PS3 and that emulator works no issue, so they are still accessible. Except for GoW3 which will melt your PC.
