Play! (PS2)

Play! is a free and open-source multi-platform PlayStation 2 emulator developed by jpd002 and Zer0xFF with a focus on making PlayStation 2 emulation easy and accessible. Although some features and game compatibilities are far behind the leading PCSX2 emulator, Play! has several notable features unique to itself. This emulator is available on a wide array of platforms including mobile devices. However, for the iOS port, Play! can only be installed on a jailbroken device.

Unique Features

• High-Level emulation on supported games
• Able to run a decent amount of commercial games
• Play Games without requiring a BIOS dump
• ARM support
• Limited plugins for streamlined game settings
• Gamepad support (not available for iOS)
• An experimental web browser version is available
• Easy configuration. No game-specific fixes required
• The same level of quality across all platforms.

As of November 2022, 32% of the commercial games have close-to-perfect emulation while another 42% are decently playable. Only 20% of the commercial games are not compatible which is considered pretty low considering the difficulty of PS2 emulation.
