ARMSX2 brings a big boost for emulating PS2 games on many Samsung and Pixel phones

• The ARMSX2 emulator has just received a hefty update that brings better support for devices with Mali GPUs.
• This is great news if you’ve got an older Pixel phone, a MediaTek-powered device, or a budget Samsung handset.
• The update also brings features like disc swapping, new internal resolution options, and an FPS limit.

AetherSX2 and its NetherSX2 fork remain two of the best PS2 emulators on Android, but ARMSX2 is another promising project. It’s still early days for the initiative, but the developers have just released a big update for devices without Snapdragon processors.

The ARMSX2 team announced version 1.0.8 of the PS2 emulator via Discord, and the biggest addition might be integrated support for devices with Arm Mali GPUs.
