Running a PS2 emulator, which is very demanding, on 32-bit hardware resulted in varied performance. While some lighter games might work, 32-bit devices generally struggled compared to 64-bit devices, which offer superior performance for emulation.

Unless absolutely necessary, do not buy a 32-bit device for PS2 emulation. The armeabi-v7a architecture is deprecated. Google Play stopped accepting 32-bit apps in August 2021. Android 14 and 15 have removed support for 32-bit executables entirely (though some kernels still allow 32-bit userspace).

: A minimum of a Snapdragon 845 -equivalent is recommended, specifically requiring 4 "large" cores (Cortex-A75 level) for playable speeds.
