Is it true that you can play PlayStation 2 games on Android phones?

So this guy I'm seeing said so and I looked it up and I have a vague idea that you technically can but it's illegal and you have to burn the game CDs to your phone somehow and you need to somehow get the bios from your PS2 on to your phone or something huge like that.

I'm just asking because I have an iPhone and I want to replace my phone and Androids are cheaper so I want to play my Bratz games on a phone too. That would be cool lol.

It's true, you can. Looks like the emulator you'll want to use is here: https://nethersx2.org/
>you technically can but it's illegal
It is piracy, but as someone who has been pirating games for over 20 years without any issue, I don't think you really have much to worry about.
and you have to burn the game CDs to your phone somehow and you need to somehow get the bios from your PS2 on to your phone
Not as hard as it might sound, thankfully. You can grab the BIOS from here: https://archive.org/details/ps2-bios-megadump
You can also find ISOs (single files that contain the entire contents of a CD) of the games you want on Internet Archive and several other places.
I like Vimm's Lair and CD Romance, but you need a forums account at the latter site to actually download games.

You should also read or watch reviews to see how capable the phone you want is at emulating games.

1. Download the emulator’s APK, put it on your phone and install it.
It’s been a while since I used Android, but you should be able to put it anywhere on your phone and just open it to install the app.
2. Download the BIOS. Either grab the ones from your region or just download the entire pack of them.
3. Put the BIOS on your phone, in the folder the emulator expects it to be in.
The emulator should automatically select the right BIOS for whatever game you’re playing.
3. Put the ISO of whatever games you want to play in another folder.
The emulator may or may not already have a folder for that.
4. Play Bratz
5. Get your guy to tweak the emulator settings for you if it runs like doodoo

Step 0: get an android lol

>>34209117
it won't run on any cheap phone. it actually needs a bit of computing power to run PS2 games

I have an Odin 2 Portal which is just an Android device. It can emulate PS2, N64, GameCube, Switch, etc. But nothing is easy to setup without some computer skills.

Doubt it will run well unless you have a S25 Ultra. I might be wrong though, but pretty sure I'm not.

This is what I would have recommended
