This way, you can continue your games smoothly on your phone and keep all your progress safe.
Does PCSX2 Saves works well in AetherSX2?
Yes, PCSX2 saves usually work very well in AetherSX2 because both emulators use the same kind of memory card files. Most saves from PC can be used directly on your phone without any problems, so you can continue your game from where you left off. It is important to make sure the memory card size in AetherSX2 is the same as the one used in PCSX2, otherwise the save might not work.
