In regard to God Hand, well I can't prove it anything because it might violate the TOS in regards to emulators. However, if a mod can confirm I won't get banned, I'll show you a screenshot of God Hand like you've never seen it.
But to answer your question(s): can I play those games at 30 fps? No, because I'm on PC. I don't need to.
You can talk about the capabilities of emulation without worrying about the TOS.
I've emulated God Hand and I've worked on Doom source ports, don't worry. You can run God Hand at normal speed (the emulator reporting 100% speed and 60hz, so the usual PS2 game's 30fps), but running it at 60fps involves doubling the speed of the game logic. Same with Metal Slug. These games are not playable at 60fps, even on PC. If you have 60fps footage of God Hand that doesn't look like playing the game in fast-forward, please show me. Maybe I missed something!

Well, I don't know about you, but I approach retro games with a complete different mindset than modern games - and I enjoy them for other reasons, mainly nostalgia.
I don't know what you are trying to imply with that "principle" thing anyway. What are you onto, detective? Want to proof that every 60FPS fan is a hypocrit because he may or may not enjoy a 25 year old game at a lower framerate? Please, put some sense into that.
I don't play older games for nostalgia, typically. We weren't talking about you or I, though, but someone else incapable of enjoying 30fps because of what they're accustomed to. You've made it pretty clear that you dislike 30fps games on principle.
I'm calling him out on the principle thing because I think the principles themselves are toxic.
Lots of posters make pretty huge proclamations of what they can and can't enjoy, and they are so
wild to me that I don't think they always think them through. These silly little lines in the sand pertaining to framerate and resolution are drawn so often and, when taken at face-value, they completely lock one out of so many options, yet these lines are being held up as noble standards to be respected because of this twisted idea that some shitty faceless game that only manages to excel in matters of IQ is somehow more "pro-consumer" (lol) than, say, a 1024x720 30fps Mikami masterpiece.
So I ask a lot of questions
just in case.
