The highly controversial PlayStation 2 emulator for Android devices, AetherSX2, has been removed from the Google Play Store starting from March 10th, 2024.
This doesn't come as a surprise for many, though, as the AetherSX2 emulator halted development entirely back in 2023, with the developer...
There was only one dev for the original project, but he went by two names. (If someone else had taken up the work I don’t know, I got a steam deck and do all my emulation on that)
Stenzek was his original username, he changed it to Tahlreth to get away from his reputation. He had previously abandoned another project due to harassment that turned out to be over blown. He claimed people were stealing his code and could never prove it and claimed harassment and abandoned his project. Was also a dick to people and was banned from forums for his tone.
Pretty much as soon as I joined this discord he was a dick and claiming harassment, and at the time I didn’t even know it was the same person. I found out later, not too long before he quit this one.
And after he quit Aether he sabotaged the last build he uploaded by making it run worse and putting ads in it.
“If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your shoe”, honestly. Rude, crying all the time, claiming harassment, claiming theft of code, making up and then deleting death threats, etc. Several years of history of just horrible behavior
