It depends on the game, but overall PCSX2 has been a reasonable replacement for several years now.
It's not really a reasonable replacement if you can't play 10% of your games, hell it's not even a reasonable replacement if it can't play the 1% of your games that's your favorite game.
And I always have to choose between some heavy audio/input latency or awful tearing. Might be because I have a ATI card though, should get around to doing something about that.

I would like to have issues with that top statement, but Wine is in the same boat -- it runs a lot of Windows stuff quite well, but it can't replace Windows for me still because there are things it still totally fails on. For a great deal of people however, it is a reasonable replacement, especially if all the things you want to use are known to be compatible.
And always take tearing over latency. I haven't been fucked over in a game by tearing. It looks nasty but hey. Latency kills.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.
A nice parting gift for PS2: It's just been reported that Playstation 3 shipments have finally surpassed Xbox 360 in December 2012 (77 million versus 76 million).

Sony's accountants must be throwing money in the air and circle jerking right now.
And now it is my mission in life to own the Rokuban Shoubu... and the entire Neo-Geo Online Collection (I currently only have the two Garou Densetsu ones)
All Japanese versions of Samurai Spirits 0 contain the full story sequences.

I think "perfect" depends on one's expectations. The main beef I have with Rokuban (as well as ADK Damashii and Sunsoft Collection) is that the picture is in 480i (no progressive scan support either) and there's an unremovable filter. Even if the mechanics are 99% accurate, the end result is a picture far blurrier than the originals. I'm not sure why SNK seemed to stop caring about visual options at the end of its PS2 run, especially when it took pains to add re-recorded voices for the Rokuban version of Tenka.
