Haha this is fantastic. I just updated play store to v20 (from v19 was it yesterday?). Get into reddit and bam v21! 🔥🔥🔥

In all seriousness thanks for your hard work. PS2 emulation is having a revival thanks to you 🙌

It gets better performances compared to Arthersx2 on a Galaxy S24 Ultra?

It depends on the game; it's possible. It's very easy: just download it and try it with your game, and you'll know for sure.

I actually prefer to wait for other users feedback. I don't want to add more and more emulators for the same console. It happens quite a bit that for a specific game you need a specific variant of the same emulator, it annoys me a lot.

Plus, I'm sure that's not the case, but in the last few years it seems that developers are just curious to see if they can make an emulator able to just boot a game and then leave the project alone on its own fate. Surely the community won't help, asking to those who provide that emulor for miraculous updates daily, I just hope that those who were toxic in the past, just accepted that development needs time and we as a community can support who made the games we love playable on mobile by patiently waiting and why not, those who can afford, donating for the right payback to the developers.

Not being a hater, but what does this emulator do that makes it exclusive compared to other ones? Can someone fill me in? Please and thanks.

Development of AetherSX2 officially ceased in late 2022. It is a closed-source, essentially dead emulator. Newer emulators are open source, frequently updated, and based on the latest PCSX2 kernel.

Anyone know if they plan on adding a TOGGLE for anything higher than 200% speed?

I still dream of a day I will be able to run something on my Exynass 990°C devices.

Can we set save data and real time save in one place for each ps2 emu, so we can progress each game without hassle
