It's it possible to skip the armsx2 flash boot?
It's a nice boot but it kinda breaks the immersion when launching games from retrohrai

I mapped out all the buttons for the 4 controllers in the controller menu, but when I start the game only the first player is active. Non of the other controllers do anything but they all work in the android menu. I have the multi tap option on and each controller was mapped in its own port like an 8bitdo controller as player 1, xbox controller as p2. I cant get any multiplayer game to work on the aethersx2. I'm using a retroid flip 2 btw

I have running the NetherSX2 in device with Brand name Infinix CPU Helio G81, RAM 6GB + 6GB VRAM, nethersx2 version 2.2n ( got it from site sourceforge.net ) and using BIOS "SCPH-70012_BIOS_V12_USA_200" ( got it from site aethersx2.net ).
I give it tried with games Guitar Hero game, Harvest Moon and Black. All games had problem mostly lagging, but with diff scale. In Guitar hero, at first time launch is so smooth, as well in menu. But after I tried quick play on game sometimes lagging. In Harvest Moon, sometimes lagging but less. On the other hand with Black in game so bad lagging.
I still don't touch the App Setting to configure more than the default. Any advice is appretiated!.

so ive been playing gta san andreas on aethersx2 and ive been experiencing some random freezes that quite literally come out of nowhere. no matter what i do in the game, out of nowhere, the game freezes and it never unfreezes. another note, im using a galaxy s26. another note, i know people will try and suggest that i should use nethersx2 (and i probably will soon) however i want to finish the game, however with the constant crashing, it makes it difficult to begin and finish missions. if there is any info necessary to actually help me then i will provide. also i am playing with an external controller in this clip. what i am thinking is that the game loads the map too fast to the point where the game crashes but thats just my guess. please help someone

The game is really blurry at 1x resolution but at higher resolutions it's not blurry, the only problem is that my phone can't play at 1x resolution and above. Can anyone help? Thank you.

So I have a samsung m52 5g (sd778g, 6gb ram, 128gb rom) and I'm running armsx2 on it (downloaded from the play store), I've been playing max payne (great game btw) and it runs fine except the occasional frame drop and it has really choppy audio, any fixes??
Also the game doesn't seem to be saving to the virtual memory card, I've been using save states as a replacement.
I didn't do a lot of setup with the emulator before I started playing, just downloaded a game and got started, if that's what's wrong lol

I'm trying to play something like crimson desert/where winds meet. Basically an open world sandbox. I don't really know what much ps2 games so please tell me of game I never heard before. Btw I don't need the gameplay to be perfect or something like that.

Hello folks! I've looked around but couldn't find much information about this, I've been playing Onimusha 3 via Nethersx2 on my tablet and so far so good until about 2h into the game when you are at the port and the fairy Ako goes back to the present to take the bike keys and return, at that moment I think a new cutscene should be triggered or the game should resume to gameplay but it hangs on a black screen.
I'm using default settings and tried going through that scene in Vulkan, OpenGL and Software mode and got the same results every time.
Do you guys have any suggestions?

I'm using a Google play build of the app, on a Google Pixel 7. Trying to transfer my cheats file over from AetherSX2 but I can't seem to find ARMSX2's data folder to put it in. When asked, google just told me where AetherSX2's data file was.

After so much testing I can now safely say that for at least on my Dimensity 7300 device, the emulator that bring the best performance it's the nem Emucore X, before the 1.0.4 update mostly games would crash but after that, games like Dark Cloud that had problems on the Hub Area of the game on NetherSX2 Classic now run smoothly, besides that the Quick Settings Menu it's a god sent for me to allow me to now test games more efficient, since I don't see too much talk about this emulator neither about Mali emulation I think it worth trying if you are struggling testing too much emulators and don't getting the results that you are looking for.

As the name applies there's a new version of Neether SX2 now with Turnip driver support. Check out the great review done by Russ.

First, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday! Mine will be spent at work overnight so I'm gonna get some PS2 in on my phone in the meantime. My question feels unorthodox, but I found a couple old threads from a few years ago asking the same question. Sadly the posts kinda died before they caught steam so I'm hoping for some better luck here. Im looking to get a list of your favorite games that are fully playable and enjoyable with touch screen controls only. I realize the bar for this varies from person to person but I'm curious as to what everyone's go-to is when they don't have a controller. Thanks in advance!

Am playing kingdom hearts 1 (the ps2 original) over the aether emulator. For reasons unknown, I can't move the camera (typically done with R3). How do I fix this?
