FAQ: https://www.aethersx2.com/faq.html

AetherSX2 is a emulator of the PS Two console for the Android platform. You can play games which you have dumped from disc on your portable device.

A BIOS image **is required** to play games and is not optional. This image should be dumped from your own console using a homebrew application.

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 500 or more single core Geekbench 5). 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.

Features:
- System simulation
- OpenGL Vulkan and Software rendering
- Upscaling of games to 1080p and beyond
- Widescreen patches for games without native support
- Save states
- Touchscreen and bluetooth controller support
- Games can be loaded from iso/chd/cso disc images
- Per game settings

Disclaimers:
AetherSX2 should only be used to play games you own and have dumped from disc yourself. To dump your games you can use a tool such as ImgBurn to create a .iso for the disc and then copy across it to your device over USB.
