TL;DR

ARMSX2 Refresh has received several more app updates in recent days.

The PS2 emulator for Android now offers improved touch control options, support for a second controller, and vibration support for gamepads.

These updates continue to make ARMSX2 Refresh a viable alternative to established PS2 emulators.

AetherSX2 and its spiritual successor NetherSX2 have long been the best PS2 emulators on Android. However, ARMSX2 Refresh has made major strides after its release earlier this year. The nascent emulator has received a stream of updates this week that might make it the best PS2 emulator on Android.

The ARMSX2 Refresh team has released several app updates over the last few days, starting with the brand-new v2.4.3 update. This version brings a floating on-screen joystick, which lets the virtual analog stick appear wherever you press your thumb instead of being fixed in one place. Other notable changes in this version include the ability to show/hide specific on-screen buttons and an easier way to edit the touch inputs.
