I wouldn't hold my breath for PS2 emulation on iOS. While Apple allow emulators now, they explicitly prohibit the use of JIT(just in time) recompilation in any app, with the exception of web browsers. JIT is absolutely necessary for getting playable performance on phones. This holds true for both PS2 and GameCube/Wii via Dolphin. Dolphin devs have confirmed that there are no current plans to release an App Store version, precisely because of a lack of JIT support. And PS2 emulation development already having experienced massive setbacks on android makes an iOS version even more unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Ive been playing kh1 and 2, along with other ps2 games like god of war 2 and ultimate spiderman, on my s22 for about 7 months now im glad someone else is talking about how great it is, i was just about to try the nobody may cry mod
fun fact, on android you can as well run Kingdom Hearts 3(and also bbs 0.2) as there are some apps/program that allow to run windows games on android(such as mobox, winlator) tho it can be a bit tricky to setup, but yeh it can run(and it run quite fine on my oneplus 10T, which its cpu is like equivalent sort of to a S22 but just a bit better) only issue is that i cannot have the in game audio unfortunately, hope the steam release can fix that. but yeh, i can play the game and with a low graphic mod have constant 30 fps(prob can get higher but it can get hot)
Even if we can all generally agree that even KH3 and the contents of the 2.8 compilation could have been optimized to run on Switch, it is truly inexplicable that every game from the 1 and 2 collections weren’t just ported to Switch. These were remasters from the PS3 and Xbox 360. The Switch should be able to play them better than the consoles the remasters first came out on. Why are they cloud games?
Aw man, the memories. When I was about 15 or so I got gifted a Samsung Tab and it's actually how I played Re:coded and Days since I never owned an NDS (I only ever got to play classic DS games when i visited my cousins) 😅
I've played through all of BBS on my phone multiple times and it works really well on a touch screen if you set your controls up correctly, and you get a 60FPS patch without any major issues that also works with cutscenes and HD textures meaning that it looks and runs better than 1.5+2.5. As for KH2 I remember it working perfectly at 60 with a patch although the patch itself had issues using AetherSX2 before the full release, but after the full release it slowly got more and more demanding until I had to play in native resolution at 30fps to get it to run consistently.
Any way to run them in English that I'm not aware of? Im mostly concerned about trying to figure out commands in BBS in this regard as I know kh1 and kh2 well enough to not be worried about translating those, but the amount of commands in BBS seems daunting to be unable to understand.
For anyone who worry about phone speck to play emulator, the cheapest smartphone can play up to PSP and NDS smoothly. I know because i use Samsung J1 ace (700mb ram) back in 2016-2018 and emulate a lot of games. For Gamecube, wii, 3ds, PS2, psvita you will need at least middle entry phone. 1-2gb ram can run these with setting tweak, 3gb ram can run smoothly as it is
I really like the Android Handhelds they've got nowadays. The Retroid Pocket 4pro is my favorite right now. The Gamesir X2S gives your existing phone a nice set of physical controls though, and is like 40 bucks. Has hall sticks and triggers, too, so you won't have to worry about drift.
Ive played KH2 on my android phone ps2 emulator, and it ran perfectly and it was extra fun when i connected it to my tv via chromecast google device and also used a bluetooth switch pro controller to connect to my phone for better gameplay enhancements 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 crazy that a phone can run these games better than a Nintendo Switch 💀💀💀
@@kiddalmatiangawd8389 Big Facts, thanks to the Steam Deck, I've kind of lost the reason to buy a PS5 or any new Gen console. And I don't think Sony, Nintendo or any company is happy about it
Thanks mate! Never got to play recoded so it makes me happy to finally play every game! And my god that game shouldve been remastered for 2.5 it's very fun! I installed a buttonless skin for the ds theme and mirror my phone to the tv and the top screen shows on my tv while the bottom displays on my phone. And im able to use my xbox controller so it's very convenient to play on i recommend others to try this.
Oh games from the 6th and 7th gen can certainly run on today's phones. It's just that publishers either don't feel like porting them, or they just see mobile as a cash cow freemium platform.
I mean some say a hacked switch could run emulation android even But its obviously not as streamlind as just downloading and emulator on ur phone Works pretty damn well tho
I had Kh1 to KH Recoded on my Android phone which is slightly good but I'll still try it my best it has the Unisoc T618 Processor but still runs better but I'll earn more to buy gaming smartphone
Im still so bummed about KH and the switch had it come natively i would have bought it for myself and some friends that wanna get in the series.... (A couple live in Mexico and cant even use the cloud bs even if they wanted to so double whammy there)
Honestly, I wish Square would realize that testing their limits would be worth it as cloud is just the laziest way to port games. Capcom does it for a quick buck and nothing else. The resident evil biohazard cloud port in particular is infamous for just how straight up unplayable it was even in Japan because capcom never took care of their servers and as such when they ported it to America... capcom being capcom just recycled the damn server
Well, in all honesty the Switch is a ~9 year old nvidia shield with a custom ROM on it, so the fact that id does run what it does run is a small miracle in itself. Yeah, it should be able to run KH just fine, maybe even KH3 since that is a UE4 game and there are loads of UE4 games on Switch. Still the Switch 2 is long overdue.
I hate the the final mix versions that work on android have the x and o buttons switched. I get that they play that way in Japan but I feel like it could've easily been patched out in the rom ps2 rom
Does the emulator for recoded have the online feature? I never really got to do the online dungeon because I didn’t have any friends that played kh at all
I tried playing BBS on my iPhone and don’t have a backbone. I physically couldn’t play the game in any decent way cause touch controls don’t show the joystick and dpad at the same time. Also using the shoulder buttons for the camera is ass 💀
Can you provide the link of the controller set up you have cuz it’s getting to play games with a controller that isn’t attached and yeah I know AirPlay on a TV would help?
I actually want to buy a Backbone for when Missing Link is coming but I don't know it my phone can handle the backbone, I have a Huawei phone can someone help with this question?
Gamersjoint it's alsome that they are putting kh on different devices but can square enxi fix kh on the intendo switch from cloud I want to be able to play it without internet to make a normal game or the cards you buy for the game in stores....please square enxi
Is so funny how everyone is aware of emulation on phones thx to freaking apple finally allowing it, anyway people should really don't buy more phones from that company because they don't know what features they are missing out lmao
It's funny how people buy all the systems when u can easily emulate anything on a computer I used to emulate the switch on my computer lol so no point even buying games or systems cuz the emulator just comes out later
i even play ps2 back kh on my android phone aether was closed for android because the dev always been treated by ios user..they want aether on iphone. but apple had more policy than android thats way aether stop developed
So now, after 2 decades and multiple consoles later that I only bought to play the entire franchise, Nomura, instead of releasing this majorly important entry for the story on a previously used system or PC, releases it as phone garbage. Great. I got a PC with current gen components in it, can play cyberpunk, and Nomura who seemingly doesn’t give two shits about how his fanbase can or want to play his games releases another shitty mobile title. Us grown up westerners are not gonna fall for that BS wtf? And most of your fans by now are grown up westerners…seriously just what the fuck are you doing Nomura?
for the portability aspect, at least u don't require an internet connection comparate to the cloud version on switch(tho i guess the steam deck will be a good alternative with the steam port being less of a hassle to setup on the deck)
They run better than their console counterparts in all honesty phones nowadays are beefy you can upscale and change shaders and textures games look so good on cellphone screens as well. I can play Games from Sega till Switch I think that's amazing
Now my phone gets to experience what it was like fighting Mysterious Figure on the PSP.
Depends, because he was nerfed in KHBBSFM. He was a substantially harder fight in the og international release.
@@CursedKeyblade1 u can play as well the og vanilla version of bbs on your phone if u want to(I did and yeh mf was even more unfair there)
@@CursedKeyblade1 tbh both versions he’s still annoying AF anyway haha but yeah getting to experience the OG version will be cool and painful 😎💀
Raginh and throwing the phone/PSP whem Mysterious Figure uses sure kill attacks? 😂
You're touch screen is going to BEG for help
back in 2014 i actually played chain of memories, birth by sleep, days and recoded on my dads galaxy s5! what a throwback.
Touch controls too?
Damn me too lol
@@leonbabic7185 yup.
i already can picture the grip you had when trying to press the L and R button lmaoooooo
Playing CoM, Days and Recoded on the phone was soooo satisfying. BBS on the other hand... 🗿

Where did you get th KH2 iso thats works? All ISOs i download wont run on Aethersx2
How did u do it .please teach me
Fun fact: there is (or was, but you can get the apk anywhere) a 3DS emulator called Citra. This means Dream Drop Distance is also playable on Android.
Theres also a 3DS emulator for IOS based off of CITRA called Limòn
I need that wallpaper you have on your phone!
5:54 That mobile wallpaper is great, right?
KINGDOM HEARTS GAMES ON THE FUCKING WHAT!?
ON THE FRUUUUUUITIN WHAAAAAT?!
ON YOUR FUCKING PHONE!!
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Was saying the exact same thing!
With the current technologies on phone its really is possible to run it smoothly
I played some versions of KH1 and 2 on my Galaxy S10 plus. Couldn't believe how well they ran on it.
The PPSSPP emulator is out on iOS and it’s the better method to play PSP than RA
I have finished KH BBS on my phone more than I can count and just a few weeks ago I finished KH2.

I finished all 3 BBS stories and secret episode on my old 3GB RAM Android phone
i've been playing psp games on PPSSPP in android for ages. the first phone that achieved native res at max speed for me was a quadcore with 1GB RAM.
I do that with 700mb ram one (Samsung j1 Ace) back in 2017
Yeah I can run PS2 games in 1440p or higher on my S23 rn. Phones are crazy good now a days

269k WE’RE MOVING BOYS!!!
There’s also a patch for final mix on the PS2 to play it in English.
I played original Birth By Sleep on my old ahh tab,while it was a consistant 7FPS,I still enjoyed it A LOT

4:43 It's a little confusing in the screen appears the button X, but in your controller, you are pressing A, no X on the left...
Crazy how it runs better than KH for the switch 😂
Oh games from the 6th and 7th gen can certainly run on today's phones. It's just that publishers either don't feel like porting them, or they just see mobile as a cash cow freemium platform.

I definitely prefer playing KH on my Steam Deck! But nice to have more options! ;)
Really helpful video! Kirby here I come!
I mean some say a hacked switch could run emulation android even
But its obviously not as streamlind as just downloading and emulator on ur phone
Works pretty damn well tho
i used to play birth by sleep on the ppsspp app
KH2 and KH1 on Android, KH BBS, Recoded, 365/2 on iOS
Tbf, a phone is quite a lot more expensive
even i have a steamdeck, tablet , phone, pc... id pay for kh1 and 2 on android from square
I had Kh1 to KH Recoded on my Android phone which is slightly good but I'll still try it my best it has the Unisoc T618 Processor but still runs better but I'll earn more to buy gaming smartphone

I literally play kingdom hearts on my phone with the Xbox app by playing cloud but it’s not laggy
Sad thing is that the android ps2 emu is not being worked on anymore due to asshats sending death threats.
Cool stuff, but still not the same as playing on a good old crt
The only thing about delta is you can’t change the resolution so I prefer to use melon on iMac
