* Matching file structure and graphical output that mirrors GSdx in PCSX2 is found.
On Baidu Tieba (a website similar to Reddit), DamonPS2 didn't Develop Team did reply to such questions in represent of a corporation. However, on Baidu Tieba (a website similar to Reddit), DamonPS2 team replied as:<ref>https://tieba.baidu.com/p/5540262646</ref> (P.S. reference website is in Chinese)
* GameIndex.dbf do come from PCSX2, but such file is an index file that including game title names, so whatever, the emulator will contain such file and it will be similar to PCSX2 Gameindex.dbf by any mean. and such file has been removed as early as in version 0.95;
* CDVD (contained in libserial.so) only used the same function names as PCSX2, the actual function is different, and such library has been removed as early as in version 0.95;
* PCSX2 is a benchmark standard for DamonPS2 accuracy-test while developing, so such a standard made DamonPS2 behavior leaned to PCSX2, which explain the identical graphical output as PCSX2;
* DamonPS2 DevTeam has repeatedly stated that the source code of its emulator has obtained copyright certification in China, And copyright of all source code protected by the Chinese government.
DamonPS2 was taken off Google Play for a short time following a DMCA request from PCSX2, but it shortly went back up afterwards and Google has dismissed subsequent DMCA requests.
