Play! is a [[High/Low_level_emulation|high-level]] [[PlayStation 2]] emulator that runs on almost every major platform, minus Linux/BSD. Its compatibility and features are pretty far behind [[PCSX2]] still, but quite a few commercial titles can be run on all supported platforms, except the iOS port does not support input yet. Since Play! is high-level, it doesn't need an actual PS2 BIOS to run games; and Play! is not a plugin-based emulator so there are very little settings or setup needed to run games, aside from installing/picking games.

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.
