CLUSTER PLAYSTATION-EMULATOR-GAMES · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-03-01

PS2 emulation and launchers

This cluster comprises tools for playing PlayStation 2 games through emulation or external launchers: a cross-platform emulator, a library that integrates an external emulator on macOS/Windows, and a native emulator for jailbroken PS4 consoles. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only one pre-index entry exists, so the cluster's timeline predates the index or its members are undated. Among traction leaders, EmuCoreR leads with 18 stars, followed by PS4SX2 with 16 stars, and ps2-emu with 0 stars.
