Install AetherSX2 APK (PS2 emulator) to Nvidia Shield TV / Android TV
Looking to sideload the AetherSX2 PS2 emulator on Nvidia Shield TV running Android TV 11? Despite the increased restrictions on the device with the upgrade to Android TV OS 11, we can still install AetherSX2.
Please note that AetherSX2 is compatible only with 64-bit ARM processors. So, if your Android TV device has a 64-bit processor, it will work, but keep in mind that most Android TV devices, like MiBox, have 32-bit processors.
