Credit: Hadlee Simons / Android AuthorityARMSX2 is an upcoming Android fork of the PS2 emulator PCSX2.Test builds are now available, with the open-source 1.0 release coming to GitHub.This has the potential to overtake AetherSX2, which is based on an outdated PSCX2 build.While it’s certainly playable, PS2 emulation on Android has largely stagnated since AetherSX2 was abandoned in early 2023. Other devs have done an incredible job tweaking the closed-source code to add new features, but those tweaks can only go so far. After all, it’s based on a PCSX2 build from nearly five years ago.But now, a new PS2 emulator on Android is finally gaining steam. The team behind ARMSX2 has been quietly plugging away in the shadows to bring the latest version of PCSX2 to Android devices. This week, they began releasing test builds on Discord, and things appear to be moving rapidly.
