ARMSX2 has quickly become the best PS2 emulator on Android, owing to a steady stream of additions, improvements, and fixes. The team isn’t stopping here, as it’s just released a few more updates in the last few days. And one update brings a fantastic multiplayer feature.

ARMSX2 v2.6.5.1 was released on GitHub and the Play Store two days ago and adds support for system link gameplay. For the uninitiated, system link or LAN functionality allowed PS2 owners to physically connect their consoles together to play supported games. This functionality was particularly popular prior to the widespread adoption of broadband internet connections.
