โš™๏ธ IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS

โ—† PS2 BIOS Required

PlayStation 2 emulation is demanding. For the best experience, a modern 64-bit Android device with a Snapdragon 845 or equivalent processor, at least 4 GB of RAM, and Vulkan or OpenGL support is recommended.

Performance depends on the game, device hardware, graphics drivers, thermal limits, and selected settings. Some games may experience slowdowns, graphical glitches, audio issues, or compatibility problems.
