[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillyGoat14:
you guys can end the charades now after 50 pages of (almost) useless discussing ... ps2 emulator for android is coming soon!

there are rumors I heard on a chat that some guy is working on rewriting the dynarec (dynamic recompiler) for ARM architecture and porting the code over to work on android. it may take a few years, but there's certainly great reason to believe it will exist.

performance is different cuz even the highest end smartphones/tablets nowadays would be put through unending hell trying to emulate ps2 with their specs, but maybe in a few years we'll see some specs comparable to mid-high end pc benchmarks which can somewhat emulate ps2 games.

do not lose hope. :p

I wouldn't hold your breath guys.

Imagine having a conversation with someone that speaks a different language and having a someone translate what the other person is saying.

They say something. The translator then has to translate to you, you respond and then the translator has to relay your message back to the other person.

Now, a normal conversation now takes 4x as long because of the time it takes to translate into something that can be understood.

For example, you put an xbox 360 disc in your computer and it won't play, it's not written for Windows or PCs in general. You would then need a program (emulator) to take the information on the disc, convert it to something your PC can understand. For a game to be playable all of that needs to happen instantly.

Dont worry, alot of these people dont have a clue what they are talking about. Some phones are more powerful then computers that emulate PS2 just fine. (I.E. Note 3, Galaxy S4 & 5, HTC One, Sony Xperia) It just a matter of getting the software to work with the hardware.

Might not be tomorrow, or next year, just depends on if someone smart enough comes along, and figures this out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uchihakurtz:
This will take a long time for a stable emulator on our phone. I think one of the solution is to have the game developer port their games to work natively on Android like what Rock Star did to GTA San Andreas or Square Enix did to Final Fantasy series. This will improve performance and graphic, but not all games will be ported.

But as mobile gaming industry increase, there will be a lot of ported game soon, like Crazy Taxi that got ported a few weeks ago.

I can run most ps2 games fine. And I've just got an old pD

My buddy can run them even better, with a c2q q6600 (2.4ghz) with a 9600gs gpu (399mhz) and 3.5 GB 800mhz ram. Compare that to 2.3ghz quad core krait 400, 450mhz adreno 330, and 3gb 800mhz ram on the note 3, and things start looking really promising. Another 6-8 months, and I think our hardware will be 100% fine for ps2 games. We could probably do OK right now. It's just developing the emulator for arm 32bit mobile devices would be, and is, very difficult.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonycstech:
In order to smoothly emulate another hardware, HOST hardware has to be 4 times more powerfull then hardware it emulates..

PS2 CPU is around 300 mhz. average android device is 1000.

You need android device with 1200 mhz or 1.2ghz for it to be enough. Also you will require GPU of 4 times the amount to emulate as well.

So another 1024MB GPU and 1.2GHZ CPU on an android today is just too much. It wont fit into your hand :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraught:
As a guy who uses PCSX2 a lot on his laptop, I can assure you that either you don't know what "high-end" is, or you just don't know much about PS2 emulation because, trust me, even on the default settings, actual high-ends have no problem playing PS2 games (and I don't on my mid-end laptop).

Hell, even on my old Acer Aspire 5315, which was a right ol' piece of doodoo, I got the first Kingdom Hearts to hover around 10 FPS with some diligent modifying of settings. Admittedly, I don't know much about mobile graphics (or even computer components overall), but it seems like if that can squeeze out 10 FPS, someone should at least be starting to try emulating it on higher-end Androids.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prichm1992:
That's what I was saying earlier. We're there, it just needs developed, which is/is going to be extremely difficult for these 32bit mobile devices. One thing I realized too was that virtually all stock android platforms can't process data over 4gb per file. Didn't think about that.

The GTA games on android were rebuilt and don't use any type of emulation from my understanding. Even if it did it would probably more closely resemble the PC versions than the PS2 versions. Also the PSP emulator is called PPSSPP and can be found in the Google Play store.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakunclear:
You would think but it's not the processing power that is so much as the issue but the graphics processing that is delaying it and the 805 they say graphics processing is doubled compared to current 800 so that where main issue lies

Natively yeah it would be nice.

It even works over internet. Latency might be an issue though even if you're just a few miles away.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
Pretty sure you won't even buy the games and just pirate the ROMs from the internet if it does come out.

Anyways Android phones aren't at that point yet, wait for an Octa-core smartphone I guess. (We could probably do it with the Asus Padphone 2 but we want enjoyable gameplay won't we?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgebizkit:
That would be fine if the emulator costs a tenner and for every one sold half of the money goes to the dev and half is stored in a serrulate account and if any Devs of the abandonware ps2 games are interested in payment for their faces being used, at the end of every year the dev could split the money between all the Devs asking for fees, if no one does then after a few years he can keep the money. Thats all fair and indirectly the users are buying the licence to play the game if the devs chase it up. It would save legal issues too unless anyone went OTT

The octo-core will not be good for PS2 emulation, even the devs say so. We need lesser cores and more clock speed, just like PCSX2 on PC.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
ehh..no.. You're stressing all the work on few cores and forcing them..

The extra cores make it better and ease the job of the phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjaredbeta:
PS2 emulation depends on more clock speed. Sure, it helps Android and Android apps, but when it comes to PS2 everything will be out of sync and become slow. That's why PCSX2 doesn't use quad-core processors.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
No. Not really, RAM plays an important role as well. My friend's Quad Core 1.5ghz 2GB RAM Nexus 4 emulates N64 games better than my Father's S3 over clocked at 2GHZ (Dual Core 2GB Ram).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quentin0:
Apples to oranges. You're comparing a N64 to a PS2, consoles that are classified in different generations, made by two totally different companies, 5 years apart. Ask anyone who has booted up PCSX2 on their desktop whether quad-core or hyper-threading or SLI or more RAM means a damn. It doesn't, that emulator runs like crap even on my i7. Even if we had the hardware to run PS2 games, which is a pipe dream in and of itself, we'd still need an army of developers to coordinate and spend countless hours to build an emulator. PCSX2 has had several years to iron out the issues and mature their emulator with massively powerful desktop hardware at their disposal, and it barely works. It won't happen anytime soon.

Oh, and you can't forget the size of some PS2 games are bigger than some of the storage capacities of phones. Some games range from 1 GB to over 8GB.

And you must take into account that many games were designed for controller with pressure sensitive buttons, and analogue sticks...that would make for a very cumbersome onscreen control setup. N64 is barely passable, PS2 would be a nightmare.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjaredbeta:
Yeah, you can't compare N64 to PS2 at all in terms of emulation. I agree.

But quentin, you may know that PPSSPP is advancing VERY fast in emulation, a lot of big games are already very playable (like FFVII CC, Type-0, The 3rd Birthday). Do you know why it is progressing so fast? Why didn't JPCSP progress this fast? It's because PPSSPP has learned from JPCSP's mistakes. I know that Java and C++ are very different but are adaptable to mistakes.

So, in all realness, making a new PS2 emulator will not take years and years to be at least somewhat playable because developers can use PCSX2 as a resource.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
I wasn't comparing N64 with PS2, You said Emulators need Clock speed more than cores, I showed you an example that it isn't quite true by using the N64oid as an example, which is an Emulator.
