What is the best PS2 emulator? 🤔

[Zero_X]

There are undoubtedly several, and there will be many more, but what about this one? I just came across it and wanted to know if anyone recommends it, along with the minimum requirements.

On PC, PCSX2.
On Android, NetherSX2.

I wouldn't trust PPSS22. They probably just took NetherSX2 and put ads and who knows what else in it.

Pretty much what they Said.

Yeah, there actually aren't many at all. On PC it's always been PCSX2.

This is the first I've seen this app on Google Play Store. It released on July 29, 2023. I would consider running a virus scan because it doesn't look legit, from what I'm reading on Reddit. Be really careful of what you download & install.

Aethersx2 is great if your phone's ram is big and my phone always heats up while using it

I use aether also but i think the heating up depends on phone, i use it on s 21 ultra

PCSX2 is the best!
but I've been using NetherSX2 on my new Retroid Pocket 4 and its really good as well

On PC is PCSX2 obviously.
On Android is NetherSX2 (Even if it's a Fork of AetherSX2).

based on my analysis of the APK, this is a modified variant of DamonPS2, an emulator that stole code from the PCSX2 project (https://web.archive.org/web/2022011...tatement-regarding-the-damonps2-emulator.html)

it has been modified to add Jiagu (which attempts to obfuscate the code and make it harder to reverse engineer) as well as advertisements

as many users on here have noted already, it is better to stick with known-safe emulators like PCSX2 on PC and AetherSX2 (including the versions with the NetherSX2 Patch) on Android

if you want to use a jailbroken iOS device, the Play! emulator is your best option as long as you download it from the official website: https://purei.org/downloads.php

As others have said, on PC it's PCSX2 and always has been. I legitimately don't know of a single other PS2 emulator, because there's never been a need for one.

If you're looking for one for your phone, the best one to use is your PC, to play using PCSX2.

i think AetherSX2 was discontinued and no longer available on the play store or something
but yeah NetherSX2 works great

 

[ThunderBoy]

I only emulate the PS2 on my PC.
And, as others have said, PCSX2 is the way.

I've mostly used PCSX2 for it.

 

[DjQuick2008]

i use PC and laptop PCSX2 runs well on both
