Thanks to the annoying and jerks out there. The final update is here and done. There will be no more update ever.

Yes, Patreon is also closed and no longer available.

Page Unavailable

AetherSX2 development is indefinitely suspended.
Due to neverending impersonating, complaints, demands, and now death threats, I'm done.
You can still download/use the app and it will continue to work for the forseeable future.
AetherSX2 was always meant to be a fun hobby for me, not profit driven. It doesn't make sense to continue working on a hobby which isn't fun anymore.
Stay safe out there, and watch out for scammers, there seems to be a lot of them.
(e.g. there's multiple people claiming to represent AetherSX2 on various social media - they are not legit)
Thanks to everyone who wasn't a d*ck for the last year.

PCSX2 is a free and open-source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator. Its purpose is to emulate the PS2's hardware, using a combination of MIPS CPU Interpreters, Recompilers and a Virtual Machine which manages hardware states and PS2 system memory. This allows you to play PS2 games on your macOS, with many additional features and benefits.

Note: The 32-bit build is for ancient computers and does not include Vulkan or Metal renderers, but does work on Macs as old as macOS 10.9. Use it only if you can't run the 64-bit build. Since this fix only changes the Metal renderer, I've attached the 02-07 build for 32-bit.

This release is a hotfix for 2022-02-07, with the following changes to the Metal renderer:


  • Fix crash on texture download for all GPUs
  • Fix issue...
