AetherSX2 - Professional PS Two Emulator for Android

AetherSX2 is an emulator specially designed for the Android platform, allowing users to enjoy PlayStation 2 console games on their portable devices. With AetherSX2, you can conveniently play games that you have dumped from the disc.

Please note that in order to play games, you are required to have a BIOS image, which is not optional. This BIOS image should be obtained from your own console using a homebrew application. We highly recommend using biosdrain for this purpose.

For optimal performance, it is essential to have a high-end device. We recommend a Snapdragon 845-equivalent device, equipped with at least 4 large cores (Cortex-A75 level) and a single core Geekbench 5 score of 500 or higher.

Key Features:

System simulation
Support for OpenGL, Vulkan, and Software rendering
Ability to upscale games to 1080p and beyond
Widescreen patches available for games without native support
Convenient save states feature
Support for touchscreen and Bluetooth controllers
Games can be loaded from iso/chd/cso disc images
Per game settings customization

Disclaimers:

AetherSX2 is intended for playing games that you legally own and have dumped from the disc yourself. To dump your games, you can use tools such as ImgBurn to create .iso files from the discs and then transfer them to your device via USB.
