The latest Alpha update to the AetherSX2 emulator brings about significant performance improvements. Midrange Snapdragon 860 hardware now appears to have no trouble running intensive PlayStation 2 games like Metal Gear Solid 3.

Glad to see development on this emulator is coming along so well.
like the snapdragon 860 is a mid-range processor?? I don't think so... mid-range is a Snapdragon 700 series, the Snapdragon 860 is a high-end processor, my friend.
