Is there a PC port of

Yes. God of War Native PC: the PS2 original statically recompiled into a Windows program, with a one-click installer by Vnnc1. It's playable now, and it runs natively on PC rather than through an emulator.

Is the God of War PC port an emulator?

No. It's a native build of the game's code for PC (a decompilation, static recompilation or native port), so it runs like a PC game.

GOD OF WAR (PS2) GETS A NATIVE PC PORT WITH A ONE-CLICK INSTALLER, NO EMULATOR

Q: Do I need my own copy of

Yes. Your own God of War (PS2, NTSC-U SCUS-97399) disc image, or a recognised fan translation of it. Windows x64 and an OpenGL 4.3 GPU. No game files are included or downloaded; the game is built on your PC. Experimental.

God of War Native PC: the PS2 original statically recompiled into a Windows program, with a one-click installer

God of War Native PC by Vnnc1 is an unofficial native Windows port of the original God of War (PS2, NTSC-U SCUS-97399). The game's MIPS code is statically recompiled to C++ by PS2Recomp and compiled on your own machine from your own disc image, with the PS2's graphics, vector units, sound and memory card replaced by native code. It is not an emulator. A launcher checks your PC, downloads the PS2Recomp runtime, identifies your ISO and builds the game with a progress bar, then starts it. It aims for 60 fps, supports recognised fan translations alongside the US disc, and records newly met code while you play so a 'Speed up visited areas' option can compile it. v1.0.0 landed on 25 October and v2.0.0, a test release, followed the same day. The runtime is PS2Recomp as extended by Waffle565, KIexster and the Tobiichi port: KIexster's own God of War recompilation, already on the wire, is source-only. Marked experimental.
