FEATURES
AetherSX2 is an excellent PS2 emulator for iOS that lets you enjoy hundreds and hundreds of video games, many of which are classics, anytime and anywhere.
Often, you will also even be able to improve the picture quality of the original games, and all of this on your iPhone or iPad devices.
This app implement the following 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
It’s important to keep in mind that, for AetherSX2 to work, you need a picture of the PS2 BIOS.
This is a must. Ideally, to get the BIOS, you should extract it directly from your own console using an appropriate program.
But, there are, of course, simpler ways of doing this which you can discover on the Internet.
DISCLAIMER
AetherSX2 Emulator 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.
AetherSX2 uses third-party code, you can view the licenses for this code by selecting “Third-Party Notices” in the navigation menu of the app (swipe out from the left).
