Play Station 2 emulator for Android
Description
Play! is an attempt at creating a portable PS2 emulator for Android OS, iOS, Win32, Linux and macOS platforms.
The focus of the project is on making PlayStation 2 emulation easy and accessible. Just pop in your favorite game’s disc and have fun.
Features
- No BIOS required. Play! is an high-level emulator.
- Easy configuration. No custom settings to fix specific games.
- Available on many platforms. Making sure the experience is the same everywhere.
Its compatibility and features are pretty far behind PCSX2 and very few commercial titles will run on all supported platforms, but it has several advantages; high-level emulation allows it to run games without requiring a BIOS dump, the lack of plugins allows for streamlined game settings, and it also has ARM support.
This package will install the PS2 emulator on your Android device.
Building for Android has been tested on macOS and UNIX environments.
System requirements
In order to run the application correctly, it is necessary to meet the minimum requirements given in the table below.
| OS version | Android 4.0 (or higher) |
| CPU | Quad core 1.0+ Ghz |
| RAM | 500 MB (1 GB recommended) |
| Disk space | 30 MB |
It is still possible to install the app on devices not mentioned above, but we cannot guarantee its proper functioning.
We recommend backing up the device on which the app will be installed before performing any installation of third-party apps not from the official app Store.

There will be frequent updates which you can grab from the link below.
The last version implements the following new features:

This application is from a third-party developer, so an automatic update won’t be available.
You will need to manually update the app by installing the new version from the APK file; the previous app will be replaced automatically.
All the updates have the latest fixes and optimizations, but their constantly changing nature means that little testing has been done on them and unknown bugs may appear.
