Getting The Best PlayStation2 Games

PPSS22 - PS2 Emulator for AndroidR is a PlayStation2 emulator created by AdiPato. As the name suggests, this game utility application provides an emulated PlayStation 2 environment for Android users. It comes with an intuitive interface that displays both the game and the controls. With the help of this app, users will have the chance of playing PlayStation 2 games that have been absent in the market today.

Problems with Game Emulations

The main advantage of mobile devices is that it has enough processing power to operate multimedia contents and applications. Mobile devices allow users to play simple to massive games without having any gaming devices. One of the most common uses with the mobile device is game emulation. Game emulators have games lacking any proprietary code. BIOS files, on the other hand, have proprietary codes to run emulated games. Emulating video games is a grey area between fair use and copyright violation. On one side, game emulators could breach copyright law because game developers never approved it. Nintendo, for instance, is one of the largest game companies who oppose game emulation. They believe it undermines their intellectual property if their games become too accessible for public use. They are even releasing their classic game emulations at a hefty price. Unfortunately, not all officially-released console emulations work properly. The game libraries are also limited. Only a few selected games get the chance to be rereleased while others become forgotten. On the other side, game emulators let players enjoy some region-locked or limited edition games. Some games never received localization ports due to regional differences and low sales. As long as the emulation is for personal use and not for paid redistribution. Another leeway for emulation is ripping a personal game copy for personal use as it is considered legal.

Mobile Gaming Platform

PPSS22 offers streamlined access to PlayStation 2 games. The application comes with easy-to-access tabs, including Recent tab which opens the last game a user played. Its Games tab gives you a list of saved BIOS while the BIOS tab allows you to configure the application settings. The buttons in this emulator resemble the classic Playstation 2 buttons, complete with directional, symbols, shoulder, select, and start button. However, users can adjust the position of the in-game buttons. 

Perhaps PPSS22's unique feature is the save states which allow users to save their progress on the fly and let them go back to the last scene they played.  For playing with PlayStation 2 games, it is recommended to use an external gamepad because of the mobile devices’ limited screen size. Some intense games may also cause broken touch screens as users may press harder.

Having Fun With PlayStation 2 Games

PPSS22 is a nice nostalgia trip back to the 2000s. PlayStation 2 had the best game libraries. The advent of mobile technology enables access to the best classic games. Its main advantages are the mobile capability, and the save state feature. Users can have fun with the classics wherever they are.
