:;[[AetherSX2]]:A closed-source freeware emulator partially forked from PCSX2. It's designed to be optimal for ARM-based platforms, primarily those running Android. ::It has multiple versions; The latest google play version which contains ads while an ad free Alpha version can be downloaded directly from the AetherSX2 website. Development was stopped due to various dramas: developers calls it quits, shuts down site [https://www.aethersx2.com/ leaving a message citing "complaints, demands, and death threats" made to him during development process] and it is no longer on the Google Play Store. '''Using NetherSX2 patches heavily recommended.'''
;[[Play!]]:Development is almost all done by the single maintainer jpd002. Also, unlike PCSX2 it's supports [https://www.youtube.com/@emugamer2610/search?query=246%2F256 Namco System 2x6] variations and it has a playable Android and iOS port.

Games requiring variable trigger pressure need physical controllers with analog sticks, which is fortunately a standard feature of most half-decent controllers on the market. Pressure-sensitive ''face buttons'', on the other hand, haven't appeared on any standard PlayStation controllers since the DualShock 3 (DualShock 4 removed this feature), and it's very rare for a third-party controller to feature them either.

===LAN tunelling===
:Offline multiplayer gaming on the PS2 home console over a LAN (local area network) multiplayer games, just like System Link for [[Microsoft|XBOX systems]]. Over time, most [[Preservation_projects#Private_Game_Servers|private game servers have been shut down]]. However, [[Preservation_projects#LAN_Tunneling_Programs|computer programs such as XBSlink, SVDL and XLink Kai]] allow users to play multiplayer for LAN supported PS2 games by using a network configuration that simulates a worldwide LAN.

Also there are pull requests and feature requests for implementing some of these variations or its features to these emulators, so it is being worked on actively.<ref>[https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/3613 Feature request: support for Namco Arcade systems based on PS2 for PCSX2], [https://github.com/jpd002/Play-/pull/1301 2x6 touchscreen support for Play!]</ref>
