How to Play PS2 Games on Android


This video tutorial will show you how play PS2 games on your Android tablet using a wireless 360 controller. Below is a list of requirements for this project.

Android tablet (At Least Kindle Fire specs)
Splashtop Streamer app (Free)
Windows PC with Splashtop Streamer installed
Wi-Fi Network
Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows (Xbox Controller)
Wireless 360 Controller
PCSX2 and PS2 Games

You will need to download Splashtop Streamer to your Android Device and the server portion of the application to your Windows PC. The next thing you will need is the PS2 emulator, PCSX2 along with any required files. Of course you will need PS2 games. This may be the hard part. I recommend at least an Intel Core i5 CPU to get this job done. I recommend setting your PC to a 1366x768 resolution. But, find what works for you. The latency is really low so the games are very playable in a somewhat portable fashion. You don't need any wires. I also recommend setting Splashtop Streamer from "Sharp" to "Smooth" to get the lowest latency possible.

 

NOTE: This is not an emulator that runs natively on Android! This is more akin to a Wireless Video Bridge. As long as your Wi-Fi connection holds out, you can play PS2 games on your mobile device anywhere in your home!
