How do I get it?

Google Play

We recommend installing the app from Google Play. This ensures we receive any crash reports, and you are automatically updated to the latest version.

APK Download

Since December 28, 2021 you can download an APK version of AetherSX2 if your device does not support Google Play.

We do not recommend the APK installation. You should use the Play Store link to ensure you have the latest version.

Additionally, no community support will be provided for users who install from APK. If your device is not supported in the Play Store version, it is likely too slow to run AetherSX2.

Update Notes

There are glitches in the Vulkan renderer after the update.

Some Adreno drivers are broken. Turn on the "Disable Texture Barriers" option in Advanced Settings to revert to the old behavior.

I have worse performance.

Reset settings. Make sure texture preloading is enabled, and conservative buffer allocation is also enabled.
