emulate ps2 on android

What do you think is the problem? Low power in smartphones or optimization in emulators?
For you, what is the best solution or in any case the most possible?

Low Power

AetherSX2 works well enough, haven't used it in a while though but it ran most of what I wanted, some games though like sly or ratchet series didn't run well.

AetherSX2 funciona bastante bien, aunque no lo he usado por un tiempo, pero ejecutó la mayor parte de lo que quería, aunque algunos juegos como las series Sly o Ratchet no funcionaron bien.

El creador de aethersx2 comenzó a lanzar actualizaciones terribles a propósito, por eso ahora se creó otro emulador, que es su contraparte y tiene algunas características bastante buenas, y ese emulador se llama nethersX2.

Every PS2 game I've played so far runs at a smooth 60fps with AetherSX2. Then again I have a phone with the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It didn't run so hot on my Pixel 6.

Using Aether on the Odin 2 pro, I’ve had 3 games that had issues if I didn’t use the software renderer. Never had an unplayable experience with default settings though. I really wish it was still being worked on, but it does the job as is

There is a special adapter you have to use to connect your PS2 to directly your phone and use the phone as your screen. You must carry the PS2 with you in public in a big backpack and look like a douchebag.

Hay un adaptador especial que debes usar para conectar tu PS2 directamente a tu teléfono y usar el teléfono como pantalla. Debes llevar la PS2 contigo en público en una mochila grande y parecer un idiota.

You would only need a 12v battery to power the console and you would have the semi-official portable PS2 hahaha.

It's just a software issue. Even on something as old as the Snapdragon 845, you can play most Gamecube games at default settings just fine. So PS2 shouldn't realistically be a problem power-wise to emulate.

The problem is that the android emulation user community is a very well known nightmare of entitled brats that will harass developers off the platform. If AetherSX2 kept being developed, I imagine that power requirements would've gone down, since right now power is brute forcing a lot of potential issues with the software.

I use NetherSX2 on 2022 motorola with a mali chipset and these are my graphics settings

The only real issues I've noticed was some slowdown in Soul Caliber 3 on stages with sunlight and some 2d games but usually if I switched to the software renderer those worked. Ps2 games that were emulating other systems like the neogeo tended to run pretty slow too.

Si lo siento, quise decir NetherSX2 se me cruzaron los nombres
