What is it?
AetherSX2 is an emulator of the Sony PlayStation 2(TM) / PS2(TM) console for the Android platform. You can play games which you have dumped from disc on your portable device.Where is the APK?
There is no APK for download. AetherSX2 is only distributed via the play store.What are the requirements?
The PS2(TM) is an extremely complex piece of hardware, with many very powerful components, even for today. You need a high end device to achieve good performance.We recommend at least a Snapdragon 845-equivalent device. This means 4 large cores (Cortex-A75 level). If you only have two big cores (e.g. Snapdragon 700 series SoCs, you should not enable multi-threaded VU, and performance will suffer as a result). Devices with Mali or PowerVR GPUs will run the app, but performance will be much lower than Adreno GPUs, and the Vulkan renderer will not be available. This is because they are missing a critical feature (dual-source blending).
If you want to use the app on a slower device, you can try it, but games will run slow, especially heavier titles. You can try underclocking the CPU by setting the cycle rate to a negative number, and the cycle skip to a positive number in System settings, but this will cause games to lag internally at best, or crash at worst.
Note: December 4 pa ang Open Beta Testing at sa PlayStore lang ito madadownload. Kung gusto niyo makita ang performance ng emulator na to. Madaming videos sa YT at masasabi kong ito na ang pinaka stable and worth it na emulator since libre lang ito at di gaya ng Damon PS2 na madami paring graphical glitches hanggang ngayon.
