About this project

Play! is a PlayStation2 emulator that runs on Windows, macOS, UNIX, Android, iOS, and web browsers. It uses a built-in high-level emulation BIOS, so no external BIOS file is required. The emulator supports booting disc images, ELF files, and arcade games via command-line options. It also includes features like save states, fullscreen mode, and JIT compilation for performance. For iOS, JIT requires specific device conditions or jailbreaking, with automatic activation through AltServer. The project provides compatibility tracking and community discussion through Discord. Building instructions are provided for Windows, macOS, iOS, UNIX, Android, and web browsers, with dependencies like CMake, Qt, and emscripten for web builds.
