There has been interesting progress with the emulator lately, notably with it now being able to run PS2 homebrew on Android with the WIP port of the emulator to the Android & ARM architecture. Also, the emulator has now had its build updated for Mac OS X, meaning that it's possible to now compile latest versions and run the emulator on OS X operating systems.[https://github.com/jpd002/Play-/tree/android]

Play! is an open-source, high-level, multi-platform PlayStation 2 emulator. 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.

Play! is available for several platforms, both on desktop and mobile. The Android port includes support for gamepads and Android-x86, an iOS port is also available but lacks gamepad input (touchscreen input works fine, however) and can only be installed on jailbroken devices.
