PS2 Emulators for Android That Actually Work (2020 Edition)

by Ferdie Tan

You want to play those old PS2 games but can’t find a dealer selling PS2 on Amazon or eBay? The PS2 emulators for Android got you covered. Our team tested some of the established PS2 emulators on Android and they came up with the top 5 emulators that work best without any performance issues.

Why Use a PS2 Emulator Instead of the Real PS2?

PS2 is fairly old hardware considering the fact that it was released in mid-2000 so consider yourself lucky if you got your hands on a brand-new factory sealed PS2 in 2020.

PS2 isn’t powerful hardware by today’s standards. Therefore, you can emulate PS2’s environment even on mid-range smartphones. PS2 is powered by just 8MB RAM if you didn’t know. The answer to how such feeble hardware runs GTA Sanandreas at a decent frame rate lies in the optimization worked out by the developers.

Advantages of Running Games on a PS2 Emulator for Android

  1. You don’t need to bother buying the actual PS2. You won’t even need a TV for output. Your 5” screen on your phone will work just fine and the best part is that you can play graphically demanding games such as Prince of Persia Warrior Within and GTA San Andreas on your phone.
  2. Some of these games even look and run better on your phone compared to the original PS2.
  3. Without having to carry around controllers or the console unit, you can enjoy your favorite PS2 games on the go.
  4. PS2 game ROMs can be downloaded for free and you can also get the emulators from Play Store without spending a dime.

A guide, which will walk you through the steps of finding the right ROM, will be published on this website soon.
