That's on brand new hardware running an unknown dolphin config. It's impressive but who knows what the emulated CPU is running at.
Also, the PS2 and wii architectures aren't very similar. On the PC side the Wii is a good bit easier to emulate in comparison to the PS2. I'd imagine you'd have a similar story on android as well.

What makes it even more impressive is that this still early stage of Dolphin development on Android. Even if PS2 emulation might be more demanding and resource heavy, by the time it's realised on Android the hardware should be easily capable enough.

Is is realised, since Play ! does it.
this thread isn't about ps2 emulation oin android, but pcsx2 on android.
Since pcsx2 aims at accuracy just like higan or xebra, porting it on android isn't something that would be worth the shot for a long time.
just an advice, though.
avoid at all cost comparing Dolphin & pcsx2. any basic programmer knows it's a mere nonsense.

Yeah I was thinking "When did PCSX2 start again?" and when I realized it was like "Wow I'm old." and "Wait that means some of those guys were just barely born!"
That's awesome. We have TWO GENERATIONS OF WORK in our project. That's sexy.

Started an account to add my 2 cents to this. I have a gtx 980ti with an i7 4790k that is connected to my network via ethernet. I use that pc combined with pcsx 2, moonlight for android, a moga controller, and a Galaxy s7 edge to run ps2 on my phone. If I am on 5Ghz wifi it runs flawlessly.
You have to be connected to the same home network, but at least you are free to move about the house/apartment/deluxe cardboard box.

Well, im sure emulation of PS2 hardware will be decent in future on smartphones, just many things will have to be rewritten from beginning (especially gpu backends) to make it work in android, considering new APIs like opengl es 3.2 or vulkan. Porting pcsx2 to x64 is hard task not to mention porting to arm. Its another a few years of development, lets first place find a dev who do this.
Thats same with play! Here we have a working ps2 emulator on android, but its one man project, even opensourced. Any other contributors work only on Android gui but not emu core, why??
