Emulators are nothing new, for playing Playstation 2 on Android they have long been used on computers to simulate retro consoles. Today, however, with the high use of cell phones, the question arises: can you use these emulators on your smartphone? That’s what we’ll test today.
Come on, to start we will talk a little about how the test will work. We will play 3 games , on 3 different smartphones: an entry-level, an intermediate and a high-end , and we will compare the results and performance differences of each one. Another important thing to mention is that since Gamebench (the application we use to measure frames) doesn’t work on emulators, all our measurements will have to be made at the base of the eyeball .
Playstation 2 for POCO M5
Let’s start with the weakest device in our selection, the POCO M5. It was released in September 2022 with theMediaTek’s Helio G99 processor and 4 GB of RAM🇧🇷 We can expect a very low performance here, taking into account that this is the entry model on our list and emulators tend to pull a lot from the processing of a cell phone .
Naruto Ultimate Ninja 4 Playstation 2
On narutinho, you can see that it ran super good.The FPS varied between 60 and 45, but the speed remained stable around 100%, not causing that slow motion effect that emulators usually give. When doing a combo with more visual effects, or when you drop an item on the ground, you can see a slight drop in the frame rate, but it’s not absurd, you can beat the game well under these conditions. I would say that, due to the position of the camera and the style of the game, you can play the vast majority of fighting games on the POCO M5 without any problems.
It’s set, ✔️ Smooth Wheel Seal ✔️ for POCO M5 on narutinho.
Need For Speed Carbon Playstation 2
We brought in a racing game for testing as well, all to give the video more variety, check it out. Carbon no longer performed as slickly as Naruto.The framerate most of the time was below 40 and the speed was around 70, 80%, which is very detrimental to the experience. I wouldn’t say it’s unplayable, you can enter some races and play the story mode, but keep in mind that the game will run in slow motion when there are more than 3 cars on the screen.
The ⚠️ Seal is Wheel ⚠️ , but it’s a little so not to rotate.
resident Evil 4 Playstation 2
We are in the mood for Resident Evil 4, as the remake will be released soon. Are you following the spoilers? As for our gameplay, the game didn’t run as well as the last two games we tested. It performed satisfactorily in the parts where there are no zombies and it’s just sausage stuffing around the map.However, at points where there are many enemies, it ends up slowing down the performance a lot, reaching 60% of the speed at times.According to what I’ve tested, it’s possible to continue in the game with these occasional slowdowns and crashes, but we can’t be sure how the device will perform when facing a boss, or in those final maps, like the castle one, which are full of monsters.
It ‘s ⚠️ Seal Roda⚠️ , but be aware that you may have some serious problems later on during gameplay.
POCO X4 GT Playstation 2
The second name on our list is the POCO X4 GT, which was recently here on our channel. It was released in June 2022 with theMediaTek’s Dimensity 8100 processor and 8 GB of RAM.This smartphone is an example of cost-effectiveness and firepower. In it we can expect an above-average performance in emulators, with room for some visual enhancements.
Naruto Ultimate Ninja 4 Playstation 2
Instead of Narutex, we have a very smooth performance, almost 100% perfect. I say this because of the occasional drops in FPS during the fight.A positive point was the constant speed during gameplay: the game remained very close to 100% most of the time.Naruto is the “lightest” game on our list, so you can be sure that we do have room to increase the graphics and tweak it here and there.
The average FPS was 50, not going below 45, so it’s ✔️Selo Roda Liso ✔️ in Naruto for POCO X4 GT.
Need For Speed Carbon Playstation 2
In Needzinho we had progress in relation to POCO M5, check it out.Performance was much more constant, averaging the 60 FPS it should have played from the start.Speed was also another positive point, although at certain points on the map it was a little affected. Here in this game, unlike the last one, I say that it is not possible to increase the graphics and tune the settings. I changed it myself several times to be sure and unfortunately the performance got a lot worse with the resolution set to 3x.
Anyway, ✔️Smooth Wheel Seal ✔️ in Need For Speed Carbon.
resident Evil 4 Playstation 2
It was here in Resident Evil that we had one of the best performances in this video, check it out. The performance was so fluid that if it weren’t for the phone’s small screen, I’d be fooled into thinking I was playing on a Playstation 2.The frame rate was 60 most of the time, with slight dips here and there, but nothing that detracted from gameplay.We also didn’t have room to increase the resolution here because it ended up resulting in some very annoying speed drops during gameplay, but the 2x option (720p) is already more than enough for a cell phone screen.
✔️Smooth Wheel Seal ✔️ in Resident Evil 4.
Motorola Edge 30 Pro
The third phone we have here on the list is the Edge 30 Pro, the top-of-the-line video device. This little guy was released in February 2022 with theSnapdragon 8 Gen1 processor and 12 GB of RAM.
Naruto Ultimate Ninja 4 Playstation 2
Zero complaints for the Edge 30 Pro on Narutinho, the game ran exactly as it was supposed to run, without any crashes or slowdowns.The performance was exceptional, staying above 50 FPS in practically all the gameplay, without those slow motion effects.It is worth mentioning that not even in the heaviest moments of beating I noticed any drop, so it really was super stable. Of course, this is the Emulators Endgame, right? I mean, this is the most optimistic situation possible to run an emulator on a cell phone: a high-end device that costs 3, 4 thousand, not everyone has that option.
✔️ Roda Liso Seal ✔️ for the Edge 30 Pro in Naruto, this one was in the face.
Need For Speed Carbon Playstation 2
In Need For Speed we had a somewhat suspicious result. Alright, it’s true that we played with 1080p resolution, but even so it’s weird that at certain very specific moments the speed dropped to up to 60%, but we’ll continue, I’ll consider these drops as a problem with the game, not the device.With the exception of this detail, the performance was perfect, taking the game with 60 frames stuck, with the speed at 100%, without varying much.
✔️Smooth Wheel Seal ✔️ in Need For Speed Carbon.
resident Evil 4 Playstation 2
Honestly, Resident Evil’s performance couldn’t be better than it was.The 60 frames remained fixed and at no time did I feel a stuttering, slowdown or drop in performance, was exceptional. I can’t guarantee that during the entire campaign it won’t crash at all, but from what I’ve tested so far, the device has everything to take Resident Evil without any difficulty with the 3x upscaling .
✔️Smooth Wheel Seal ✔️ for Edge 30 Pro.
