- Open testing for the new AetherSX2 PS2 emulator for Android has just kicked off.
- Users need a Snapdragon 845 or better for good performance, but can still use the app with less powerful SoCs.
Update: December 6, 2021 (5:48 AM ET): The open beta version of AetherSX2 has finally launched on the Google Play Store. The news comes after the app, which is based on the PCSX2 emulator for PC, was in closed testing for a short period of time.
The creator of the emulator recommends a phone with a Snapdragon 845 or newer for good performance (or another chipset with four big cores such as the Cortex-A75). In saying so, phones with two big cores (e.g. Snapdragon 700 series processors) support the app too. They also note that devices with Mali or PowerVR GPUs should be able to use the app, albeit with reduced performance and no Vulkan renderer support.
