Is there a PlayStation 2 emulator?

All I found was old threads of people telling how it's not possible to do, not even on the most powerful phone back in the day - Galaxy S.
Ok maybe not GS, but how about quad core Tegra 3/Exynos 4? I hope there already is one. I know FPSe emulates PS1, but I just found Tomb Raider Legend and since I have no console anymore, sold it, and PC is not as exciting next to my Nexus 7, I was thinking, why not N7?

Are you serious? Ps2 emulation needs a hardcore pc.. NO phone has so much power like a pc...

Hardcore PC? Maybe in '05 it was considered "hardcore" in reality you can run it flawlessly on a dual core, as long as the GPU is adequate. Smart phones are a different story, but I expect with a Tegra 3 or alternative it would be possible to emulate a less intensive game at a feasible frame rate.

Yeah i think there will be some time before we see any playstation 2 emulators on phones, but i hear some PS1 emulators work great.

Not sure how feasible this is, however you can play playstation mobile games by installing the ported apk. Give it a try

Yeah really, and lots of games have either extreme slowdowns or emulation bugs. We can talk about emulating PS2 when we can emulate all handhelds properly, like the DS.

Technically speaking, he's right when he says a medium range pc should run it finefine (FYI, the ps2 version dropped to ~20FPS at times)... If it's native to the PC. However, it's running through an emulator, and that requires more power (I'm not going into the details, you can find enough info around the Internet, e.g. the pcsx2 forums).

I am using HTC One with ARHD 20.1, Android 4.3 ROM, and it says that my device does not support OpenGL ES 3.0.. how come?

There are two main aspects for determining if a device supports OpenGL ES 3.0 -> the Android OS version, and the Hardware
Sure Android OS 4.3 supports OpenGL ES 3.0, but some custom ROM may not.
So, could you post a screenshot of your Device Info, especially the Android version, custom or not?

It could be because I am ussing leaked 4.3 ROM from HTC, it's not an official release

@AnTuTuLabs
Why did you removed support for ARMv6 CPU's?
Just wanna run benchmark on Android 4.3 on my Galaxy Ace

Exactly the answer I was expecting. Silence. So now I can assume what I was suspecting. No way this app gets on my phone.

sorry for the late. some thing stucked me.
1. if HTC One support OpenGL ES 3.0?
this depends one the hardware component configuration. since now, we only find out a few device support OpenGL ES 3.0. HTC One is not listed in. I think I have replied somewhere.
2. Got 0 scores?
This is a bug on some special devices. We have find out test machine and fixed almost.
Please download the latest version, and retry. If it still happen, pls let me know.
3. about the permission
I have asked our R&D team to work on it. please give me some time to get the result.
due to some things, I could not check comments in time. BUT from now on, I will do my best to check your royal comments, and solve your question in time.

we set a user center and offer custom picture as avatar. so users can call the camera to take a photo.
this is why we need camera and microphone permissions.

In part of 3D benchmark, we added more benchmarking contents which require a higher CPU, so we have to quit support to the ARMv6 CPU.

just got my S4 back!! yea buddy!! will post some scores... i know one thing i cant wait to get a phone with the snap dragon 800 in it... beast!

Terrible benchmark scores and game lags.

I have been having a weird issue with my s6, i own SM-G920I model which is available to us in India and i am getting scores between 12000-13000 in 3dMark ice storm unlimited benchmark which is pretty bad compared to others to be precise i am getting 10000 less score than others in 3dmark and I am scoring 61000 in antutu benchmark whereas others are getting 65000+ scores and my games lag alot, Modern Combat 5 lags alot. I tried installing custom roms but it changed nothing , please help me out with this issue.:crying::crying::crying::crying:

Please can you tell me where the problem is, this is driving me nuts.

Suggestion: You could try backing up all your phone data and media to your PC, factory reset the phone, then install just antutu, 3d mark and your game to see if that makes them score better? Then you can restore the rest of your data and media.

Already did try that and different roms aswell but with same results but once when i tried the tip about DVFS mentioned in this link http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-improve-galaxy-s6-gaming-performance-by-disabling-dvfs-78927/ it gave me a score of 20000 in 3dmark and games also stopped lagging, but only for the first time and now whenever i try that it give's me same ****ty score of 12000, so what should I do now.

I got 66,272 on Antutu 64 bit and 23,000 on 3d Mark so i'd say something is running on your phone slowing it down.

Vulkan?

Can vulkan be implemented in Honor 8? I see on ARM's website VULKAN 1.0 is supported in Mali t880 GPUs. So anyone working on it?
http://malideveloper.arm.com/documentation/developer-guides/vulkan/

I'm fairly sure that Nougat offers Vulkan api for the honor 8.

I've read from a developer's post in QDN that Open GL 3.1+ AES is enough to implement VULKAN.

Honor 8 can support vulkan

Not the case with the shield. They will get Vulcan even in MM. Not every device that gets N is even getting the Vulcan drivers. Even many new devices that get 7.1.1. Are not using the Vulcan drivers as there really isn't anything that will take advantage of it.

Which means nothing if the chip doesn't support it. I have spoken to many game developers and they are thinking it will be a fee years before they bother changing it. This is due to the fact that less then 1% of devices are even gonna have the Vulcan drivers for the next few years and it's just not worth it to them.

Pretty much. Heck android is still using single threading but people are all up in the air about more cores as well. People get excited about things because they are told to and they do.
All new tech takes years before it is used by the majority. Just like VR and 4k screens.

Not really. Samsung is a hype oem. Nothing more. Look what they did with VR even though the medical field told them not to as it is still not save for anything more then 15 min a week. Or the iris scanner. It's all about hype. It's also part of the reason most devs won't touch a Samsung device if it was the latest and given to them for free.

Yes i see that now.
Maybe qualcomm did google i special favor.

it supouse that snapdragon 810 support Vulkan... am i wrong?

Support Sony said that we will not have Vulkan API.
Perhaps in the future we will see support, but not the fact.
ow.ly/guHo308vgb9

People Adreno 430 supports Vulkan API on Nexus 6P, and this means that our smartphone also supports it. And there is firmware S. Team for HTC M9 which adds support for Vulkan.
I took out the Nexus 6P graphics driver but Vulkan doesn't work (OpenGL ES working).
Maybe someone knows how to enable support Vulkan API ?
