By
A brand new stunning twist within the unhappy saga of the AetherSX2 emulator seems to have unfolded in the present day, with a brand new replace to the Android PlayStation 2 emulator on Google Play, a claimed change of developer, and a stark warning from an obvious group moderator.
The story started as AetherSX2 acquired a brand new replace on Google Play. The ‘What’s New’ part listed a brand new developer, which raised just a few gamers’ hopes of continued help for the emulator. Nonetheless, this optimism didn’t final. Customers found that the newly up to date emulator had the label ‘accommodates advertisements’.
A Surprising Statment From The Fan Group Mods
It obtained even worse. One of many AetherSX2 Fan Group Discord moderators left a really strongly-worded assertion within the server’s announcement channel.
“Hey all. It appears Tahlreth (former AetherSX2 dev), out of spite, has sabotaged AetherSX2 on the Play Retailer. After all, that is yet one more promise he has taken again about Aether being an ad-free expertise. The app now consists of advertisements and likewise appears to run worse. So I’d recommend not updating the app. Please unfold the phrase to everybody you possibly can to not use the brand new up to date model. Depart opinions warning individuals about this new model on the Play Retailer. Don’t let Tahlzek spoil the android ps2 group.”
We’ve lined the earlier issues within the AetherSX2’s improvement, and the departure of its developer Tahlreth, who reportedly give up attributable to harassment from customers.
Archived Variations Gone
Up till now, the emulator’s earlier variations have been out there to obtain, however the information obtained even worse.
The previously-archived variations of the emulator disappeared from the official archive on the AetherSX2 web site. Now solely the present model is on the market. The fan group Discord has archived downloads out there through its server, for individuals who are with out an older copy.
We can not confirm any of the claims proper now, and there was no assertion from Tahlreth or any new developer in regards to the change of route for the emulator.
Actually the story of the AetherSX2 isn’t over, however it’s not the large comeback we’d hoped for.
