Description by AetherSX2(from Google Play)
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.

Really thanks, I relocated to another world when I have started to play all PS2 games and I really become happy at any moment I play PS2 games by using this app
★★☆☆☆
I read that this has advertising embedded. I uninstalled upon learning this and haven't opened the app. I'm not about to track down a 1gb rom and the PS2 bios just to find out there is forced advertising.
★★☆☆☆
Data got corrupted twice already, i don't want to redo the game again because other than the 1st corruption I have redone the game several times due to wrong build and i eas rather satisfied with this one, but this happened, will look for another more reliable emulator
★★☆☆☆
Needing to use a bios image file is garbage. I just want to play the game without having to jump through hoops. If I don't have a PS2 then I can't use this app. This sucks.
★★☆☆☆
This app is nonsense why can it be like psp for Android this app is not good it's bad that I have to keep my self until I get a phone with snapdragon865 before play PS2 on, and I try playing superman return PS2 with this app and the frame was very bad I try and try, but I became worster, so please make this app available for any android device please I am pleading
