Keep in mind that the PS2 is faster than any computer available today at games, so you first have to wait for computers to surpass PS2s in speed before you can start to emulate them. It ain't gonna happen for a while. I think it's pretty much the same for the Dreamcast - computers aren't yet fast enough to be able to emulate them acceptably. I don't think there's going to be a substitute for the real thing any time in the near future. Sorry.

I think there is a dreamcast emulator for PC, but I haven't heard of a PS2 one yet. I doubt that the PC dreamcast one works at decent speeds yet though...

the PS1 is a 33Mhz processor and to emulate it you need about a G3/300 which is about 10 times faster. To emulate commercial Dreamcast games you would need 200 Mhz x 10 = 2GHz and to emulate PS2 you would need 300 x 10 = 3GHz CPU power. There is a basic Dreamcast emulator for PC but all it does is show very simple demo tests. Nobody has the power to emulate these systems yet.

Rumor has it that Sega itself is working on a hardware (PCI/AGP) emulation solution for the PC side...

I think it would have to be PCI, not AGP...
Not sure though.

How would you go about mounting Dreamcast discs on a computer? As far as I know, no CD or DVD drive available for computers can read GD-ROM discs.

Looking for a Dreamcast Emulator so I thought I'd revive this thread in hopes that something new has come out since last year.
