The New Android PS2 Emulator, PCSX2 ARM64
PS2 emulation on Android is far from perfect; however, the PS2 emulator community is doing its best with what it has. If you're tired of dealing with PS2 emulators on Android like AetherSX2 and NetherSX2, we recommend downloading PCSX2_ARM64 for your device. Although it's still new, it holds a lot of promise.
Just like AetherSX2 before it was permanently discontinued, PCSX2_ARM64 is a PS2 emulator that you can install on your Android device via an APK file. This emulator is simply a fork of the PCSX2 emulator for PC. The creator admitted that he developed it with the sole intention of making it fail, but it turned out to be very effective.
Installing PCSX2_ARM64 on your Android mobile device is very simple; it simply involves installing the APK from GitHub. Likewise, we'll leave you step-by-step instructions below, along with a link to the repository where you can find everything you need to install this PS2 emulator.
- Access the PCSX2_ARM64 repository using the following link.
- Click on the Versions option where it shows pre-beta versions.
- Download the first two APK files in the list; their names should be something like PCSX2_1_202506240539.
- Once downloaded, locate it in your phone's downloads and tap on it.
- Click "Install" and wait for the file to be installed on your phone.
That's it. Just like that, you can start using this PS2 emulator on your Android device. If you'd like, you can also check out the GitHub repository of Pontos2024, the user who created the main project for this emulator.
