AetherSX2 Emulator is a PS2 emulator for Android designed for players who want an organized game library, customizable controls and detailed graphics settings in one place.
Add your own legally obtained PS2 BIOS and game backups, then build a visual library with cover artwork, search, sorting and quick access to every title.
Your PS2 game library
Select one or more game folders and AetherSX2 Emulator will scan them automatically. Browse your collection using cover art, search for games by name, sort your library and assign custom artwork when needed.
Supported game image formats include ISO, BIN, IMG, MDF, GZ, CSO, ZSO, CHD and ELF.
Graphics settings for your device
Choose Vulkan or OpenGL rendering and adjust the experience to match your Android device. Available options include:
• Internal resolution scaling
• Aspect ratio controls
• Vertical synchronization
• Blending accuracy
• Widescreen patches
• No-interlacing patches
• Per-game graphics profiles
• Custom GPU driver support on compatible devices
Beautiful Game Library: Organize your collection with List, Grid, or interactive 3D Cover Shelf views with AetherSX2 Classic .
Performance and compatibility may vary depending on the game, Android device and selected settings.
Save states and virtual memory cards
Create save states to continue from a specific moment without waiting for an in-game save point. Manage virtual PS2 memory cards from one place, including creating, renaming, backing up, restoring and assigning cards to individual games.
Controls that match your play style
Use customizable touchscreen controls or connect a compatible Bluetooth or USB gamepad. Adjust the on-screen layout, configure buttons and analog sticks, and test connected controllers before starting a game.
Individual settings for every game
Apply global emulator settings or create a separate configuration for a specific title. AetherSX2 Emulator remembers each game profile and applies it automatically the next time you play.
HD texture packs and game tools
Manage compatible community texture packs directly from the app. Download available packs, enable texture replacement and control texture settings separately for each supported game.
Additional tools include cheat management, save-state import, memory-card management, game-cover customization, data backup and library rescanning.
Built-in PS2 content hub
Explore PS2-related news, guides, videos and gaming content through the integrated media hub. Use PS2 Search to quickly discover information without navigating through complicated menus.
Simple setup with no account required
A guided setup helps you select your BIOS, add game folders and choose where emulator data will be stored. No account or login is required to use the emulator.
