Thank you so much! I bought my Odin 2 and it came in just a wee after all this happened, so now it’s harder for me to configure some things since it’s not as simple as going to the play store anymore. I just tested a ps2 game, I thought it was broken and nether couldn’t read the bios file anymore, but this tip fixed it. And I’m dumb, so your pictures were perfect. Easier to understand than how some write things out on Reddit. You’re the best.
As a Mac user I was struggling trying to get this going on my Retroid Pocket 5 due to difficulty converting it. I even tried a virtual machine but no luck. I appreciate the walkthrough to get it going on my device via the Android method. Thank you
This tutorial made converting from Aether to Nether super easy. It literally took less than five minutes and I was up and running. I used the section "Nether SX2 Current - Android" because I don't have a PC at home and it's the middle of the night. Thank you for taking the time to show both methods. I'm not sure if Nether Current actually runs better than Aether 4248 or if it's a placebo effect; but, it seemed like thermal throttling took quite a bit longer to rear its head with Nether. I played UK vs. Ole Miss in "College Hoops 2K5" after installation to test it out. I usually start getting throttling around half time with Aether; but, Nether held out until almost the end of the matchup. It could be a good sign or it could've been just a fluke. We'll see in time, I guess.
Thanks a lot I was using an outdated version of aethersx2 and just realized today august 2024 that it was taken off the play store. I couldn’t even run Dave Mirra Bmx 2 on that version it would dip to 19-25 fps. This new nethersx2 is giving me smooth 60 fps with faster loading !
Dang, I wish I saw this earlier. I forgot to backup my saves, hoping when I uninstalled a Windows build of NetherSX2 to install the Android built version, which was different for me for some reason.
I installed first classic then patched - is it normal for the app icon for classic to disappear after installing the patched version? Thanks for all the great content.
what about usding obtainium to patch aesthersx2. Im using nethersx2-patch but i still see adds on the bottom bar during game select. I also dont see a red cube its still a blue cube but says Im using the nether sx2 patch. Is this right?
I use a Tecno phantom x to play prince of Persia but as an playing it the just goes white then I have to turn the camera in the game before it shows again
Thank you bro. Question. It made the patched apk but when I want to install it says it cant install the file. I followed all the steps. What is going wrong?
Do you know how to set fast forward hotkeys? Example, i want to press select and R2, but Nethersx2 seems to give only the hotkey button, not the hotkey enable button.
Quick question; say that most of my PS2 rom files are USA version, however I decided to download the EU region rom of Harry Potter 1 (because I want the correct "philosophers stone" title, not "sorcerers stone")... when emulating on nethersx2, do I need both the USA and EU bios files, or will the USA file be enough to run them all? Also same question for ps1 files when most of my roms are USA and I want to run the EU version of Harry Potter 1 on ps1?
@ ACole: You'll need to scroll down a bit more. When this tutorial was made, Version 1.8 was the newest version available. Now we're up to Version 1.9-dev, so you'll need to scroll through all the info about 1.9 and 1.8 before you get to the Resources section with the APK you need. @ Joey: There's a new NFL 2K5 mod that updates the game to "2K25". I installed it last night and it works fine. Other people were saying that it might work even better on the newest version of Aether, which is 1.9. I had 1.8, so I decided to do the update. Even though I mostly remembered the process, I figured it wouldn't hurt to check out your tutorial again. It served me well the first time, and it did the same this time too. Thanks.
you are so smart more than all those people on the internet who said we need a PC to download nethersx2 on android ❤ i subscribed ❤ . i was search for this since i heard about NetherSX2 but you first one i found he said no need to PC. ❤❤❤i just want ask you what do you think which one is best NetherSX2 or PCSX2 on PC?

Honestly, it's kind of a mess. Users report all sorts of things, and I haven't done any deep tests because well, I don't feel like it. If you wanted frontend support, I would do the upgrade. I can't envision anything really breaking game wise doing that move.
I have done every step and went BK and checked it and it says unsupported file type...I'm doing this on a rp3 plus and I'm stuck anyone please help me I would truly appreciate it
You weren't supposed to check that box. I showed right after how to make sure that Aether is completely deleted, you need to check the Android/Data section for it.
Same, i was going to ask, as someone who has 3668 already installed previously, is it worth switching over to the Classic? But seems its not really, and that this is moreso directed at people who are installing now.
I don't have those versions I have v1.4-3064 got it from playstore looking for nethersx2 for android with out pc installation all my games work fine I wanted a ps2 emufor my backup android phone
nice video as usual, thanks ;) (unfortunately i stumbled upon a problem with bot windows version for the 2 files : "msvcp120.dll missing" keep popping, had to kill the cmd window... java installed and windows 11 pc rebooted but no luck... i've dl the missing DLL and put it in the patching folder but not avail either.. if someone kind enough can shed a light on this, that would be appreciated ^^
I had the same problem but I realized that I clicked on the green tag and not the actual releases page hope this helps if you haven't figured it out yet
Edit: I am using Poco F5 just disable the Mi Protect stuff when installing, and it will be NetherSX2, not ArtherSX2. The install protection tends to disable patched apk. Bro, the performance of NetherSX2 current is insane. Now I can NFSU2 up to 3x res without a single stutter. Thanks bro you just made my day
🤔 for what you said on the beginning i'll better stay with aethersx2 4248 (but i'll ask about that on discord)... i don't use my handhled with wifi anyways and that version has better performance over 3668, anyways... thanks :)
Yeah I was gonna ask, if I have a working copy of aether and most my game library copied over, is there any risk in staying put? Also Does simply connecting to wifi put my copy of aether at risk?
@@loyandrus821- It shouldn't put it at risk. Google only ever uses Play Protect to remove apps off of devices if it's been determined that the app has spyware/malware built-in. Otherwise Google will leave it alone.

The 2S isn't great for PS2, but you can choose either version, just go with current.

thanks joey - will save this for when the flip 2 comes out 😁
You bet!
This emu fixed Super Robot Wars for me, ty.
@JoeysRetroHanhelds you are the man!!!
No u
I couldn't be bothered with using windows to do this even though I have the facilities to do that. Great guide, by the way. Thank you
Yep that's why I have the Android method here! Way easier.
Big performance bump on Black for me going from 3668 to the current Nether (using 60fps pnach) - thanks again for the tutorial!
How can I get that 60 FPS patch? Is it on bit torrent?
Really glad Im subbed
I can't find the version he said is in the assetss. Plz can anyone help me
Thank you so much for the guide. It super helpful and easy to follow.
Glad it helped!

Thanks for the tutorial. Just one thing. Do both the classic and current support launchers? Beacon in particular. Thanks.
As far as I know yep. I use current with Beacon.
Thank you bro. Question. It made the patched apk but when I want to install it says it cant install the file. I followed all the steps. What is going wrong?

"App not installed"
Not because I had a previous version or anything. Just won't install.

Does Neithersx2 current perform better than Aethersx2 4248? I am currently running Aethersx2 4248, do I need to upgrade or should I?
Honestly, it's kind of a mess. Users report all sorts of things, and I haven't done any deep tests because well, I don't feel like it.
If you wanted frontend support, I would do the upgrade. I can't envision anything really breaking game wise doing that move.
Stuck in the Unipatcher, when selecting Output file it says error no File app installed
Never seen that, try installing Solid File Explorer and trying again. I'm not sure.
Was using a android box, because i wanted to play ps2 games there, gonna try with windows version. On my Samsung this works
Hey Joey. Can you use a an RP3+ SD card on an RP3?
I have done every step and went BK and checked it and it says unsupported file type...I'm doing this on a rp3 plus and I'm stuck anyone please help me I would truly appreciate it
You should join the NetherSX2 Discord and troubleshoot there - discord.gg/6cGWCrqAw5
Tried to install but got a warning message instead
Help me, i uninstall and i check box the keep data, when i install its not working, can you help me?😢
You weren't supposed to check that box.
I showed right after how to make sure that Aether is completely deleted, you need to check the Android/Data section for it.
@JoeysRetroHandhelds , Nethersx2 does not seem to work with Emulation Station for Android. Any ideas how to fix it?
Not sure what you might have done, but it does work. You can try the ES-DE Discord for help - es-de.org/
So it's super easy to do it if one has the pc, only required builder app to run and create an apk , i will give it a shot
so i need to do bios to play the ps2 game or nah im confused as hell...
Would this help performance a bit on the rp3+? Or would it just be a hardware issue
It'd be a hardware limitation.
If I am happy with AetherSX2, do I really need to switch?
Nope.
Same, i was going to ask, as someone who has 3668 already installed previously, is it worth switching over to the Classic? But seems its not really, and that this is moreso directed at people who are installing now.
"App not installed" whyy?? i already followed and done the steps correctly patched successful... but why i cant install the app???
Me too!! Did you figure it out in the end? I'm also getting this!

Nether - Current seems to crash when I launch a game from daijisho.. any ideas?
Did you add your games to Nether and set Daijisho to use the right emulator?
I did. On daijisho, nethersx2 doesn’t show up as a player but aethersx2 does btw
Huh, you're right. I've ever been using ES, so I didn't notice. I'll have to look into this. It won't work right now.
Figured it out, Daijisho Settings, Library, Inspect Players, PS2 aethersx2, change file.uri to file.path. Not sure why that was necessary.
Good find, everything works now. Thanks Joey
Does nethersx2 have network support?
