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. We recommend biosdrain. 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). 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.

AetherSX2 APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the AetherSX2 APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 1df7f426cd6d5ed11c3e57abf36954c5.
