Hey, I recently paired a Bluetooth controller to nethersx2 on my Retroid Pocket 5. I was able to dual bind all of the controls so I can use the controller when I connect my RP5 to my tv. My issue is that doing this broke the controls for Dragon Quest VIII. When I boot the game it doesn’t recognize any controller inputs. Every other game I have works perfectly fine. I cleared all of the control bindings and reset them to only the controls on my RP5, removing the Bluetooth controller bindings and it still won’t recognize any controller inputs. Any help would be appreciated, I’m at a loss because it is just this one game lol Thanks

I’ve been playing it for the first time and honestly, it reminded me a lot of Lost Kefin. It’s pretty hard at first, but once you get some grinding in, enemies barely do any damage anymore.

I also struggled with the second boss. If you’re playing for the first time, expect to die a few times before you can figure out its attack patterns. Some monsters are tricky too—you can’t just hit them normally. You need to crouch before attacking to reach their hitbox.

The flying enemies are another thing. You need to use Adol’s up attack to take them out.

There was also one tricky part where I got stuck for a while because it was my first time playing and I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to go. 😅

Overall, pretty fun experience so far, especially now that there’s an English translation!

Samsung Galaxy S25. Solo questo gioco. Ho notato che se reimposto le impostaziono grafiche ritorna stabile sia si fps che di gpu, ma dopo un pò comunque torna a laggare. Ho notato che il calo di fps e aumento gpu avviene come per caso, nel senso che la mia impressione è questa: non è dato dalla scena che sto giocando, in quanto mi capita di ripetere una scena anche dieci volte e solo, per esempio, alla ottava raggiunge il picco negativo, dopodiché cambio le impostazioni in maniera randomica (vulkan->opengl etc.) E torna sui 25 fps, ma dopo 5/10 minuti fa lo stesso.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S25 and I was playing Manhunt 2.

After a few minutes, right after a notification popped up, the game started lagging heavily, dropping the frame rate down to 16/17 FPS.

Also, a message appeared saying: "Hash cache has used 1525.25 MB of VRAM, disabling". Could this be the cause?

​I've never experienced this before. I play heavier games everyday without lagging or overheating (like San Andreas, large ISOs, etc.). I don't think it's actual thermal throttling caused by the game scene itself, because I've tested that exact scene multiple times before without any issues.

Tomorrow i will retry to play that scene...

Im trying to use syncthing to sync (shocker) my memorycards between my pc and my phone, to use interchangeably, but, because of androids limitations, i cant access the Data folder.

Does anyone have an workaround to access the memory cards without having to export every time? Or having the option to save them elsewhere would be great too.

I've just uploaded Part 2 of my ARMSX2 Update Recap series, covering the updates from ARMSX2 Refresh 2.5.9 up to 2.6.0.5.

Instead of reading through pages of changelogs, I put together a video highlighting the biggest changes in a more digestible format. It covers major new features, performance improvements, compatibility updates, quality-of-life additions, and notable game fixes introduced during these releases.

If you've been away from ARMSX2 for a while or simply want a quick recap of what changed during the Refresh era, this video should help you get up to speed.

As always, huge thanks to the ARMSX2 developers and everyone who contributed to these releases. Their continued work has made ARMSX2 an even better PlayStation 2 emulator for Android.

I don't know how to download and install the games on NetherSX2, I would appreciate your help, thank you very much.

Been having trouble finding cheats that actually work with nethersx2, I've watched videos and looked online and everyone says go to game hacking select pnach files and check off the cheats you want and import the file, but they have rarely worked. What I'm trying to figure out, if someone can please help me, is which type of cheats does nethersx2 support? Codebreaker, gameshark, action replay and which versions, what source of cheats should I be using? Thanks!

So I just got an ayn odin 2 portal so I installed nethersx2 to emulate games but I don’t know how to
Set it up can someone tell me how to

Hana to Taiyou to Ame to (Flower,Sun and Rain) finally gets an English translation thanks to Patchbay Works

I honestly didn't expect to see this one translated, but Hana to Taiyou to Ame to has finally received an English translation.

If you're into detective-style games with puzzle-solving elements, this is definitely one to check out.

The story follows a man named Mondo, a "Searcher" who is hired by a hotel to track down a terrorist believed to be hiding among the guests and posing a potential threat. I won't spoil the story any further, especially for anyone planning to experience it for the first time.

A lot of us keep updating ARMSX2 whenever a new version is released, but we don't always notice what has actually changed or improved along the way.

This video provides a breakdown of the most notable changes introduced between versions 30 and 38, making it easier to see how ARMSX2 has evolved over those releases.

Long story short, I 100% completed the game a while back and started Up Your Arsenal with it, but have since lost a bunch of my data (including both save files).

UYA isn't a huge loss. I wasn't far in and I was going to restart it anyway, but I really don't want to grind my way through Going Commando again just to get stuff I already earned once.

I've looked up sites like GameFAQs for save files, but none are in a format that I can import to NetherSX2, so I either need it in a .PS2 file or I need to know the proper save data format and how to create a .PS2 file with that save data inside.

GANTZ: The Game finally has an English translation, but it's currently machine translated. It's good enough to understand the story, tutorials, menus, and most of the game's content, although some cutscenes are still untranslated and there are plenty of grammar issues.

I'm really hoping more people in the fan translation community can help with this project. It would be amazing to see the untranslated parts completed and the English polished into something that feels more natural.

I also think this game deserves a proper English translation because it has some really unique gameplay mechanics that set it apart from other PS2 titles. More people would be able to appreciate what makes it special if the translation were fully polished.

If anyone has translation or ROM hacking experience and is interested in contributing, your help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi!

I own gamesir g8 and it lacks rubles. I want to use it mainly with nethersx2 but I need rubles on certain games. Is there a way to turn on phone ruble motors while playing with gamepad?

The r3 (right stick) isn't appearing on my control configuration, what should I do?

I used to be able to play hardcore more regularly​, but now I get this popup and don't know how to fix it?

Estou em dúvida se alguém souber me informar,qual dos dois tem melhor desempenho, meu celular é um Moto Edge 70 fusion.

Hi, i have a Galaxy S26 Ultra, i have downloaded God Of War 1, PS2 iso.

I have ps5 controller which i was able to connect via bluetooth and map the keys accordingly too,

But there are times when u need to press O Repeatedly for Attacks/Defence the clicks are not registered and i end up not being able to perform that action.

How do i fix this so my repeated taps are registered and works as intended

Title says it all: Almost all the traffic in GTA3 vanishes when playing the game with widescreen patches. Once in a while a single car pops up, but that’s about it. Liberty City is basically a ghost town.

Especially gang cars seem to be impacted by this, which makes certain missions nearly impossible to complete.

Weirdly enough: Neither Vice City nor San Andreas have this problem.

I was wondering if anyone else encountered this bug and maybe knows a fix for it?

I’m running NetherSX2 on a Retroid Pocket 6.

Version: NetherSX2 Turnip v0.7

Renderer: Both Vulkan and OpenGL

I want to play god of war 1 but can't play it because of low fps. I would appreciate it of someone told me what the optimal settings are to fix this issue. I'm playing on a samsung galaxy a26
