#NetherSX2
A new fork of NetherSX2 (PS2 emulator on Android) embeds Turnip drivers for Snapdragon devices like the Retroid Pocket 5/6, AYN Thor, and Odin 2/3. It also finally lets you install the app alongside other NetherSX2 installations. Showcase video: youtu.be/zCbn1hhzJRE

YAY okay basically it just involved going into NetherSX2 and manually re-scanning the info for my games because for some reason it didn't automatically pick up on the metadata for Neopets when i added it to my roms folder. Usually it's relatively automatic but I ain't complaining as long as it works

There are some UI quirks that need to be worked through, some of which I think is baggage frim NetherSX2, but it's already in a solid place and I think will quickly deprecate NetherSX2 since it's actually being actively worked on. Which is great because PS2 emulation on Android was weirdly dormant.
how does armsx2 compare to nethersx2? I'm super new to the emulation scene on android 🤔

The new version of NetherSX2-Classic is the best PS2 emulator you can get on Android!
It basically merges the graphical patches from the more recent version of AetherSX2 with the performance of the older version.

I always used NetherSX2 for PS2 emulation but if this ArmSX2 emulator produces better results closer to PCSX2 then maybe-

the widespread usage of AI in decomp/recomp projects, as well as emulators now (notably ARMSX2, which is now hardcore verified by RetroAchievements because the mods were chomping at the bit to cut NetherSX2 support) infuriates me to no end

Unciv is a lo-fi complete recreation of Civ 5 post Brave New World dlc

Also Nethersx2 is so good you can emulate Gran Turismo 4 on recent-ish androids and play it with a Bluetooth controller

but the version matters, def use Nethersx2. There’s another mod of it that lets you use turnip drivers too

i gave up being anti remake like 100 years ago but i thhink they should stop doing it. i think you shouldnt buy them and you shouldnt play them and you should download pcsx2 or maybe nethersx2 on your phone or something

Accidentally uninstalled Nethersx2 while trying to update it and I lost all my memory card data

Now that NetherSX2 2.0 is out, I should remind y'all that it has neither an "official" website nor is it available on the appstore.
It's 100% free.
No .org, no .com, no BS.
The only official source is on GitHub.

O progresso no desenvolvimento do novo ARMSX2 (emulador de PS2 para Android), está a todo vapor e tudo indica que não deve demorar para termos uma versão de teste, segundo o dev Zeruth.

Ele está reescrevendo um novo recompilador ARM JIT e promete deixar o AetherSX2/NetherSX2 para trás.
