;[[DamonPS2]]:Closed-source payware/malware emulator only for Android, illegally based on [[PCSX2]], [[Play!]] and [[PPSSPP]]. '''It can hardly run any games''' and behaves very much like virus software. '''It is best NOT to use this emulator'''. DamonPS2 uses unnecessary DRM, making the emulator useless without an internet connection.
