The AetherSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for Android devices, allowing users to play their favorite games directly on their Android devices.
It is important to note that a BIOS image is essential for using the emulator and is not optional. This image must be obtained from the PS2 console itself, using a homebrew application like biosdrain to dump the BIOS.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to use cutting-edge devices, at least equivalent to the Snapdragon 845. This requires a processor with at least 4 high-performance cores (Cortex-A75 level) and 500 or more Geekbench 5 cores.
Key Features:
- PS2 system emulation
- Support for OpenGL, Vulkan, and software rendering
- Ability to upscale games to 1080p or higher
- Implementation of widescreen patches for games without native support
- Save state functionality
- Compatibility with touch screens and Bluetooth controllers
- Ability to load games from ISO/CHD/CSO disk images
- Advanced game configuration options
It is crucial to emphasize that AetherSX2 should only be used to play legally acquired games dumped from the original disk. To dump games, it is recommended to use tools like ImgBurn to create an ISO image of the disk and transfer it to the device via USB.

As mentioned in this article, this is the BEST UPDATED VERSION of AetherSX2.
As everyone knows, the developer abandoned the project and before leaving, released a worsened version of the emulator on GOOGLE PLAY.
Why isn’t AetherSX2 updating anymore?
In case you don’t know, the developer Tahlreth was infuriated by the constant requests from the community for a 32-bit version (which he considered useless to develop), so he abandoned the emulation community and before leaving, released a worsened version of the emulator on Google Play.
