I've heard of PPSSPP. The last time I tried a DS emulator on my phone it was way too slow and heated up my phone (Samsung GS II).

I just want to play some of my old handheld games again. I sold my PSP earlier in the year because it wasn't reading memory cards, and I let my sister borrow my DS a few years back and she pretty much destroyed it... thing didn't even turn on anymore. I'll try the Drastic emulator when I get my new phone on Saturday :fingers-crossed:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikegonzalez2k:
Run any PC emulator from your tablet/phone

While there is no current working PS2 emulator it is possible to run your PCSX2 emulator on your PC from your tablet.

Download the free app Splashtop 2

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.splashtop.remote.pad.v2

It will allow you to remotely connect to your PC using your home WiFi.

If you pay for the service you can also connect via cloud.

This means you have full access to ALL of your PC games from anywhere you can access your cellular network.

I've tested it with games like Skyrim and even Diablo 3, and they run fine.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ortind200:
unfortunately, theres that possibility that smartphone makers will stop embedding faster processors in their phones. this is because the cellphone market will reach technological saturation, where consumers will get tired of buying the same gadgets without new features. when this happens demand falls and in turn demand for processors falls. this may end development of potential emulators that require higher-end processors to play graphically demanding games.

There's issues with the PS2 emulators and it is mainly frame rate which is hard to be perfect.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] error0x0000034:
there isn't any

Simply said: Sorry, but there is no PS2 emulator for Android.

Current hardware does not provide enough computing power to run a PS2 emulator. You would need a lot of optimization and since most games on the PlayStation 2 are closed source, you can't port the games themselves. You can wait for the publishers to port their games themselves like Rockstar Games ported GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas and acquire them in the Google Play Store.

Else, you'll need an extraordinarily good emulator, which would again require a lot of work. Imagine that you need to emulate the whole platform and you cannot run anything natively. Even on x86-platforms many games of the PS2 don't run smoothly or cannot even be started at all. Maybe in 2 or 3 years ARM-processors will be enough powerful for that, but currently the most high-end ARM-processor that is built into many today's phones (Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 / Adreno 330) could not run such a task. Many have said the same about N64 emulators some years ago, so there actually is hope that we'll see an PS2 emulator earlier...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NerroEx:
Time and effort is most essential when creating emulators on android devices

Actaully, youre wrong. Its mostly about the coding, as long as if you have a quad core device, then its all based on how well developed the emulator is. The reason Xbox 360 and Ps3 emullators do not exist is because the consoles games are made to run on CONSOLE hardware, NOT pc. PC is waaay more powerful than even next gen consoles.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

You all underestimate samaung. They already have a note 3 with 2.3 ghz ans 3gb ram. A year or two or even three should be enough for N emulator. I know ill donate of they start on a project even now.:silly:

Youre all nuts lol the reason its hard to run on PC is because the hardware for a ps2 is too unique, so to port it to PC is a great feat, unless somebody put a whooole lot of effort in it. But ill just say im able to run PCSX2 on medium 30fps on and i3 6gb RAM and ONLY 64 MB dedicated graphics. :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ortind200:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ortind200:
I am starting to believe that you are too ignorant for this thread.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codemonkey98:
You're clearly the ignorant one who doesn't understand emulation. The PS2 is much fancier than what one would think. Sure you have better consoles on the market that are much more superior than the PS2, but we're comparing a phone. The engine the PS2 uses is Emotion Engine which is a two-way superscalar CPU. What this means it is running two instructions at a time, and will rarely stall the two pipelines. if I am not mistaken, I could then explain much more after this.

You also have to consider the programming language for the X86 CPU and how the PS2 communicates with the processors and such. (Sync basically...)

In short, you'd need a six core CPU. The Note 3 doesn't even have that, and no modern smart phone on the market has one to my understanding.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Thats a port of a game m8, he's talking about emulation, which is a different thing. In emulation the host device is being taxed for two jobs, running it's own OS and that of the emulation, when it's a port, it's literally a stand alone game, the PS2 is not being emulated here as the game has been ported to the said OS (android)

Also I think the architecture will play a major part in what is emulatable or not, for example, I can smash PCSX2 on my PC, but the same can't be said for a phone, it just isn't that simple, having a quad 2.3Ghz CPU doesn't mean that youre going to be able to run the likes of call of duty on any settings, you're talking about an ARM based processor which not only isn't compatible it just isn't going to cut it when compared to the likes of an x86 x64 based chip and that's not to mention that the GPU which you see on PC's and the like are huge with massive amounts of processing power, there is good reason for that, they create large amounts of heat because of the pace of the card and the load that it takes away from the CPU, to compare that to what a phone has this side of 2018 or maybe even later is ridiculous.

Maybe phones will move fast, but personally I can't see them doing what PC's can do any time soon, even if the CPU numbers appear to add up at first glance, it isn't that simple.

[MENTION=5644854]NerroEx[/MENTION] Nothing to do with underestimating Samsung at all m8, You can optimize and optimize but the problem here isn't what you have it's what you don't have and that is the processor and GPU to deal with emulating a second device of this level, i'm not lying to you about this, i'm trying to be honest about it, if you want to keep your head in the cloud then carry on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codemonkey98:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ortind200:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] error0x0000034:
That's exactly what I was trying to say. You should read my previous posting again, please.

GTA Vice City for Android is not an emulated PS2 game, but ported from source code. The source code is only available to the developer/publisher. If you have the source code it is easy to optimize/port a PS2 game on Android to run seamlessly. If not, you'll have to emulate the whole platform and current devices are not capable of doing that.

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

You played a game that was ported from source not emulated, please consider that. Rockstar Games has the source code available to them and it is much easier to port a game than to write an emulator.

Please be respectful in a General thread. If you know more, please provide your knowledge to others. He doesn't seem to understand the difference between a port and an emulation / x86 and ARM architectures.

Processors used in phones are mostly based off ARM-architecture which cannot be compared to x86 processors built into computers. ARM is much less powerful than x86 which has a reason. They consume less power.

You are quite right, but to completely. You cannot compare the processor of a PC with one built into a phone, as explained earlier in this post. You can play graphic intense games on a phone if the game is coded well, but emulating a platform isn't that easy. Still, current hardware does not support the emulation of the PS2 platform. The best coded emulator probably would be able to play some games, but putting years of effort to accomplish this isn't actually worth it to anyone.

It is quite a way off, wii emulation is quite a way off too, of that I have no doubt, iit's annoying when you see an emulator up and running with promise and the development is slow, fair play to them for even getting it to run.

Has gamecube been emulated yet? As i'm guessing that is probably the most doable of the bunch with xbox most likely being the difficult one, I can't say that i've seen an xbox emulator.

PSP isn't too bad, i've seen god of war running quite well on that on an s3, not too sure about vita as i've not used one before.

If Nvidia can bring out a few monster chips in the future, then these things will become more probable than impossible, i mean the capability of the tegra 4 is staggering when you consider it's small enough to put in the likes of a phone, couple that with the way that RAM is going and you've got yourself some decent kit, even if it is of a small form factor with different architecture.

there is a ps2 emulator in the playstore

It is called *PS2 emulator* and it does cost a bit, but at the time of writing this there is only one download. I was trying to see on what devices it might work on. I have an Asus transformer infinity with CyanogenMod an wanted to give it a shot.

It is by designappstudio and it cost $4.04, it still has no review however.

Don't want to buy it if it won't work, I have my doubts tho, it won't run smooth on my home computer that is 64 bit Linux with a 3.0ghz dual core 8 gigs ram. I haven't tried with my newer graphics card however, power color radeon HD 7750.

I was thinking that maybe a quad core 1.7 GHz in this tablet would be acceptable but I highly doubt it, plus the limited ram.
