Hey folks, quick correction: the reason why my memcard import failed in this video was because you need to pick the main export folder, not the memcard folder itself. Thanks to the NetherSX2 dev for pointing it out! The manual copy/paste method shown in this video will still work, and also will be handy if you are importing memory cards from a different device. Other notes: - I mentioned that advanced Android users can build the apk directly on their Android device, here is the method to do that. You will need the 3668 or 4248 version of AetherSX2 apk and the appropriate xdelta file (found on each respective NetherSX2 GitHub page). From there, use the app UniPatcher to patch the xdelta file to your AetherSX2 apk. Here is a link to UniPatcher: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.emunix.unipatcher&hl=en_US&gl=US - If you previously had AetherSX2 installed and attempt to install NetherSX2 but get an error, it's likely because you have some remaining data files on your device from the previous installation. I recommend connecting your device to a PC using the method in this video and deleting the internal/Android/data/xyz(dot)aethersx2(dot)android folder (grab anything you want to save first, like your saves/states). Now try installing and it should work. - Same goes when updating to a more recent version of NetherSX2: export all of your data, uninstall the old one (while choosing NOT to keep data files), then install the new NetherSX2. Once installed, you can import your exported data. I'll update with more notes as they come in, thanks!
@@chocokagura it really depends on the device. For example the Surface Duo 2 that I was using had zero access to the Android data folder from within the device, even after trying a half dozen file management apps and other tricks like rolling back the stock Files app version. The USB-to-PC method remains the most consistent way to access that data folder (but strangely, devices that don't work with the PC method WILL usually work with file management apps). Long story short: nobody is happy, and the experience varies quite a bit!
@@RetroGameCorpshey, I know you are super busy, but I have a quick question, I've watched most of your videos trying to find this answer, but so far haven't been able to come to a certain conclusion, I am looking for a handheld that can also mirror to a TV, but can play at least Golden Eye on N64. It doesn't have to play perfect, but preferably at least 30 fps. Money is a concern so I'm trying to use the cheapest option. Please let me know. Thank you again for all the videos and everything you do!
Thank you for this video! I haven't set up my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro yet, but I heard about AetherSX2 being removed. I'm glad we can use Nether SX2, so appreciate the help of getting it up and running!
I have money to blow on a good handheld. I do not trust reviews because I have been burnt before. I just want to play WWE games, Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 2 and 3 and MGS 2 and 3 without major issues. Tired of being stuck to PC on ps2. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This emulator amazes me sometimes. Some triple A PS2 games such as silent hill 2 and ffx are able to run perfectly on even entry level phones with helio g80 processor.
@@maxducoudray it is, but it's not a horrible mess like Saturn, Jaguar or PS3. "Easy to program for" is also relative, you still had to contend with stuff like floating point math being non-standard, or the entire architecture design with wide buses and low amounts of memory.
@@maxducoudray yes it is. It was notoriously difficult to program for. There were multiple complaints from developer at launch. Don't know where you got that idea.
Mister game corps sir, thank you for all you do! Your guide on retroarch prepared me not only for retroarch. I feel comfortable with all of it, thanks to that one informative guide. You're the man!
Fist pumping in the air at "yeah, man I wanna do it" Absolutely excited to check out NetherSX2, playing much more PS2 on my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro than I thought would. Truly one of my favorite systems to play on this device. Cannot thank you enough. Previously had Retroid Pocket 2 and then the Pocket 2+, it's my favorite device from them and very worth it.
The thing about the android data folder: you don't need a windows pc, any linux or mac also works for that. But the thing is: many recent android phones with Android 14 like Samsung have even tighter security and permissions over the data folder, so even on a computer this folder will either not appear or be completely empty. And you can't paste anything on it, since this folser is now read only. This is "why we cant have nice things" - malware on android abuses the data folder to scrape and inject data between other apps on your phone, so Google and Samsung are constantly trying to abandon the data folder idea altogether. In recent Android versions malware is getting more and more limited and now it basically cant comprmise any other app on your system, and that is a very good thing. Each app is more and more sandboxed and isolated from others with each release. This makes the system extremely secure, but the data and obb folders are going to disappear eventually. Apps and emulators themselves need to use the newer permissions system to avoid incompatibility. If NetherSX isn't updated, it will not be compatible or usable at all on future Android versions. And since AetherSX is dead, I don't see PS2 emulation on android lasting for much longer, unless we keep these retro devices around with older android versions or a new emulator appears (or development on AetherSX resumes). As a fix for the new android hiding or protecting the data folder: there are a few file managers on the play store that use alternative ways to gain access to this data folder still. They use the new permissions system and ask the user for access to the folder. One of those is Solid Explorer (paid). The other one is Total Commander (free and very powerful, but a bit ugly). So you don't even need a PC for this.
Yeah I think latest Android builds are tighter on file management fortunately, or in many cases like this, unfortunately. For instance, getting music tagging apps to automatically fix metadata in batch modes generally don't work anymore on modern Android. I imagine emulation handhelds will need some work arounds.
The Nether team's working on reverse engineering Aether so they can develop it properly and bring it more inline with PCSX2, hopefully it won't be long before they can figure it out - just wish the original dev did the right thing and handed it off to others instead of sabotaging the app and ruining it for everyone.
Did all of this already on my RP4. Great videos! Keep it up! I added a Syncthing for my memcards export to make it a little easier. Would have loved this video last week lol! Thanks for the great work!
NetherSX 2 performance is insane. Now I can play PS 2 games with upscaling 300% higher than the latest Aethersx2 available on the Playstore. I use it on my Poco F5, be aware Poco internal installation security tends to disable the patch from the unipatcher, just disable the installtion security and you are good to go Playing PS 2 games, with 2k res and higher is a dream come true for me. What a good time to be alive

@@gorillahamz8190 it took about a month to get mine delivered. This was back in end of October. They also took a while to respond to my questions on the delivery of the dock

bought a mini miyoo plus a couple of days ago just because of ur videos, u explain everything so well man, i enjoy every video even without having this retro consoles, cheers
Wow ! I've been using aether for weeks thinking my tab s9 plus just couldn't run the games I was trying. It turns out I was just using the wrong emulator. Thank you for the help!
This is cool. I am mainly only concerned with playing Psychoonauts on my phone right now and I am happy with performance overall 👍. I might mess around with this in the future for another device, but as of now I'd rather not fudge what I have up. 😅 Thank you so much for offering this improvement though Russ! 🙏🙏
Absolutely love the sleek graphics & editting, plus the straightforward and helpful guide as always. Cheers, RGC, and thanks for showing more people how to use NetherSX2!~
It take some CPU power to run a PS2 emulator well on our phones. Things were originally going well with the development of this great emulator until rude entitled people without money to own a decent phone began to insult and direct toxic energy towards the emulator developer causing this emulator to be in its current imperfect state. All of these is such a big shame for everyone.
for anyone transferring save states from aethersx2 to nethersx2, nethersx2 won't be able to read the save state files from aethersx2 so make sure you save on the memory cards first if you want to keep a recent save of whatever you're playing did this on my rp4p and luckily i was able to salvage some save files
I love it when great tutorials don't work on my device. Thanks for this tutorial none the less...but my device basically just says "Something went Wrong" and then does not install it. Update: I don't recall you saying this, but maybe you did. You have to uninstall AetherSX2 if you have an instillatiom on your device.
Its funny im specifically trying to play sly cooper on android. I downladed aethersx2 using the browser. But it didnt preform that good. So i tried search on youtube, and im gonna try the classic version of nethersx2. Thnx man!
Hey Russ, First, I’ve been watching about 3 years, since your RG351P unboxing with your old intro. So glad to see your channel, and your presentation growing and improving. Congratulations on 500k subs! I’m using the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro with the Daijisho front end. I’ve set up Nethersx2 according to this walkthrough but when I try to load the game from the platform tab it only takes me to the Nether app instead of loading the game directly. Is this usual or is there a way to boot directly from the front end? Thank you, Jon
Hi Jon, I believe that this is an update that needs to happen on Daijisho's end, it's common with NetherSX2 and this launcher. EmulationStation will boot directly into the game, that's what I use nowadays. Thanks for being a longtime supporter!
@@RetroGameCorpsHi Russ. Getting the same issue with the classic version of NetherSX and Beacon Launcher on my Odin 2. Does the classic one support launchers or do I need to use the patch 4248 version? Thanks for the great stuff that you do.
Russ, this guide is appreciated, but I’m left with a one question: I currently have AetherSX2 on my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, and it still works fine for the games I have on the device. Is there any reason why I’d want to consider dropping that and switching to NetherSX2?
This is very useful This version can fix Drag-On Dragoon (Eur or USA version, name Drakengard) This game Japan version can’t show the character from when you start to play This NetherSx can fix it
Excellent video. Would it be easy to do this on an android box? I have a Kinhank x5 pro and would like nethersx2 I'm just worried I'd ruin its functionality
I keep getting an Error when I try to run the bat file. It says the code cannot proceed because MSVCR120.dll was not found. I installed the Java dev kit. I’m not sure what else to do!
I was able to get it to work on an older computer running windows 7. The one I was trying was windows 11. Maybe that has something to do with it I’m not really sure.
Hello RetroGameCorps. McAfee stopped the batch file from doing its thing and claimed it was a asynchronous remote access trojan virus. Why does it say it is a virus and is the program safe? Thank you for all your videos! Keep up the good work.
Hey Russ, Love your content and you're the reason for me to get into the hobby of emulation (got my first Retroid pocket 4 last week, still setting up!!) Just a question, when running the batch file on my windows laptop, I keep getting an error saying "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP120.dll was not found. Reintalling the program may fix the problem." Was wondering if you (or anyone in the community) knew of a solution? Cheers guys!!
@advaithkrishna6646 I also have the same problem on my laptop msvcp120 and msvcpr 120 dll error, i tried to copy paste the files into system 32 folder by downloading but it didn't work, so i did the patching on my phone itself was much more easier, just had to grab the latest apk of aether sx2 delta file and nethersx2 and download unipatcher and patch the aethersx2 apk with the nethersx2 apk and then install the patched nether apk all the links are in The video description btw.
Looks to be a solid enough, but it's a bummer that progress towards PS2 emulation on Android is effectively dead. It'll probably be years until someone tries to port PCSX2 again.
The RP4PRO is so damn sexy. I completely forgot about my Odin2 after getting it. The human brain is so damn strange... The only reason i wanted the Odin2 was because of ToTK really and since i have finished it, it's been shelved for the smaller more portable (and much better looking i must say) RP4PRO. Oh well.
I was able to import the memcard files without a PC. Instead of going to "Transfer Data" I went to "App Settings" then "Memory Cards" tab, then "Import Memory Card". Selected both files and they were imported fine.
I did something similar to this directly on the odin 2 (I don’t have pc) and instead of using the builder file I used the xdelta and it downloaded fine. Is this another way to do it? Or am I missing out on stuff
TL:DR, what's the performance like on various systems? This is really great timing. I have been trying PS2 emulation on my phone for the last couple months, and with each new release of Nether it gets a little better, but one game that I can't seem to run well is Gran Turismo 4. I know it's an intensive game but I would have thought a Galaxy S21 Ultra can handle it. I can run it pretty well, but once I try a night race or anything with the safety car, my game starts slowing to around 60-80%
One more hint. Its way more easy to move memcards files on smartphone itself because for example on odin 2 the android/data Folder isnt visible on PC even if you check "show invisible files".

Love your content and you're the reason for me to get into the hobby of emulation (got my first Retroid pocket 4 last week, still setting up!!)
Just a question, when running the batch file on my windows laptop, I keep getting an error saying "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP120.dll was not found. Reintalling the program may fix the problem."
Was wondering if you (or anyone in the community) knew of a solution?
Cheers guys!!

I also have the same problem on my laptop msvcp120 and msvcpr 120 dll error, i tried to copy paste the files into system 32 folder by downloading but it didn't work, so i did the patching on my phone itself was much more easier, just had to grab the latest apk of aether sx2 delta file and nethersx2 and download unipatcher and patch the aethersx2 apk with the nethersx2 apk and then install the patched nether apk all the links are in The video description btw.
Looks to be a solid enough, but it's a bummer that progress towards PS2 emulation on Android is effectively dead. It'll probably be years until someone tries to port PCSX2 again.
Something positive for emulation! Hooray!
Me without a computer or friends
Fair enough 😅
Library?
The RP4PRO is so damn sexy. I completely forgot about my Odin2 after getting it. The human brain is so damn strange... The only reason i wanted the Odin2 was because of ToTK really and since i have finished it, it's been shelved for the smaller more portable (and much better looking i must say) RP4PRO. Oh well.
It's hard to put down.
Life saver. Thank you so much.
What handheld are you using in the video?
I use the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro for most of the setup, and then the Surface Duo 2 for section where I export and back up files.
hey man, would you consider update a guide for android for 3Ds and switch after the disparation of some emulators?

I was able to import the memcard files without a PC. Instead of going to "Transfer Data" I went to "App Settings" then "Memory Cards" tab, then "Import Memory Card". Selected both files and they were imported fine.
Is it recommended to delete or uninstall AetherSX2 when I install NetherSX2? Can’t I play with both emulators if I want to?
Will it be possible for nether to eventually continue development on the emulation or will ps2 on android need to be restarted?
It never went open source it seems, so I'm guessing it won't be forked.
They say they will try reverse engineer it. Theres also the play! Emulator.
@@bulletpunch9317 Wasn't it originally forked from pcsx2 anyway, hopefully they can figure out how to do that again with a newer version
@@nullgator8073 yea i guess theyll go with whatevet is easier
Mine says app not installed since it conflicts with an existing package.. hmm I don't have aethersx2 so something is up
What I did was install aethersx from the original apk, delete it without keeping any app data then installed Nether
@@sonicgen1 thank you so much bro, I did what you said and it worked without any more problems!!! I would love Retro Game Corps to pin this comment
Russ here with the timely post.
Can u play 1v1 from 2 phones? Like fifa or nhl
Trying to do this but the bath file is not in the ZIP what can I do??
I did something similar to this directly on the odin 2 (I don’t have pc) and instead of using the builder file I used the xdelta and it downloaded fine. Is this another way to do it? Or am I missing out on stuff
I followed along another TH-cam video a few days ago
@@lordnino DNA Mobile Gaming? I think i understand that one more, it seems easier than this.
I hope this isn’t a dumb question but why can’t I use Mac to download this file?
I don't have a PC... That's why I'm trying to install some PS2 games on my android.
Because of this, i subscribed❤❤
Will be get an updated Odin 2 starting guide ? 😢 gonna get mine in later this week
What do you prefer overall, Nether or Aether? I’m new to this world and I’m quite confused in which to use. Thanks
TL:DR, what's the performance like on various systems?
This is really great timing. I have been trying PS2 emulation on my phone for the last couple months, and with each new release of Nether it gets a little better, but one game that I can't seem to run well is Gran Turismo 4. I know it's an intensive game but I would have thought a Galaxy S21 Ultra can handle it. I can run it pretty well, but once I try a night race or anything with the safety car, my game starts slowing to around 60-80%
This guy made me buy the Odin 2
How long before you think a new PS2 emulator will come out?
You already have Play for Android.
@@Pridetoons it's very beta-ish stage at the moment though.
Theirs gonna be PS2 Emulator called Cosmic-Station By Darkluar
One more hint. Its way more easy to move memcards files on smartphone itself because for example on odin 2 the android/data Folder isnt visible on PC even if you check "show invisible files".
