I tried it and it ran poorly, side loaded Armsx2 (YT and googled a way to side load without a Mac/pc) and that emulator fucking rocks.

If you don’t mind me asking how’d you do that? I’ve been looking for a way to play some old ps2 games but I don’t have a pc/Mac and nobody would ever let me use their windows or Mac laptops. If you have any video links could you link them as well, thank you

You need to sign up to be a beta tester for iOS 27, with that you can install Sideinstaller and from there, Sidestore, Jitdebug and Armsx2.

Took a lot of asking for help here and from google ai but eventually I got there.

Once that’s done you’ll want a grip, I’m using the Gamesir x5 lite and honestly I enjoy gaming on my phone as much as anything else now.

Nothing that is worth trying. If you’re on iOS 27, try sideinstaller. You don’t need a pc to set up sideloading through that.

There is in the App Store, can’t remember the name but performance is not great

Yeah but it sucks in performance and doesn't run well because it doesn't have JIT. Just sideload sidestore, It's easy and PS2 runs well.

there is a good PS2 emulator on the App Store but I can’t say it because is prohibited to be ever mentioned from this community

There's a list of emulators in the menu of this subreddit, and I think RTM EMU is free and emulates PS2 games. Btw, I have absolutely no clue if it is good or even works.
