[[Play!]] is a [[High/Low_level_emulation|high-level]], multi-platform [[PlayStation 2 emulators|PlayStation 2 emulator]]. Its compatibility and features are pretty far behind [[PCSX2]] and very few commercial titles will run on all supported platforms. Since Play! is high-level, it doesn't need an actual PS2 BIOS to run games.  And because Play! is not a plugin-based emulator, settings and game setup are streamlined in comparison to PCSX2.

Play! is a free and 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.
