With the removal of AetherSX2 from the Google Play Store, now is a great time to show you how to build and install NetherSX2, a superior community fork of this popular PS2 emulation project on Android. I'll also show you how to migrate your save data to NetherSX2 in case you are upgrading from the original.

Quick correction: the reason why my memcard import failed in this video was because you need to pick the main export folder, not the memcard folder itself. Thanks to the NetherSX2 dev for pointing it out! The manual copy/paste method shown in this video will still work, and also will be handy if you are importing memory cards from a different device. Other notes:

- I mentioned that advanced Android users can build the apk directly on their Android device, here is the method to do that. You will need the 3668 or 4248 version of AetherSX2 apk and the appropriate xdelta file (found on each respective NetherSX2 GitHub page). From there, use the app UniPatcher to patch the xdelta file to your AetherSX2 apk. Here is a link to UniPatcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...
- If you previously had AetherSX2 installed and attempt to install NetherSX2 but get an error, it's likely because you have some remaining data files on your device from the previous installation. I recommend connecting your device to a PC using the method in this video and deleting the internal/Android/data/xyz.aethersx2.android folder (grab anything you want to save first, like your saves/states). Now try installing and it should work.
- Same goes when updating to a more recent version of NetherSX2: export all of your data, uninstall the old one (while choosing NOT to keep data files), then install the new NetherSX2. Once installed, you can import your exported data.
