Comments on EmuPSX XL for Android

★★★★★ Pho · Nov 8, 2025
Hey so, this game is good but can you make us a PS2 version I can't find a good emulator.
★★★★★ Colin Lee · Aug 29, 2023
Very, very good except for the touchscreen controls but works perfect with a controller.
★★★★☆ Shinobi NSG · Nov 11, 2025
Works great. Except I'm trying to use two controllers for multiplayer games. I see the option to switch controllers but when I do it just switches, and I don't see an option to use both controllers at the same time.
★★★★★ Kostas Kobostas · Jul 21, 2024
It's good to play ps1 games I highly recommend playing Resident Evil 3/2/ directors cut
★★★★☆ saksham bhagat · Jul 1, 2026
Very good emulator but has ads while playing in the bottom
★☆☆☆☆ michael oates · Apr 21, 2024
1 star because I can't give 0 played a game with memory card available and all the emulator wants to do is format it so can't save games waste of time as a download
★★☆☆☆ Alice · Jul 27, 2023
If you save in game, your data will be wiped, and I accidentally saved over my previous data by pressing the wrong icon on the settings menu, and I can't even get my original data back. So now I have to start all over again... Other than that the emulator runs super well with the game I was playing. It also has very user-friendly controls.
★☆☆☆☆ Aevan Thapamagar · May 2, 2023
Worst emulator my um jammer lammy rom plays but in the loading screen it takes SSSSOOOOOOO LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG
