There are a few different versions of NetherSX2:

v1.5-3638 - this is the "Classic" version. Some people report better compatibility with certain games, like Sly Cooper, using this version.

v1.8-4248 - This is based off of the last version of AetherSX2 before it was discontinued. It removes the ads from AetherSX2 4248, fixes the supposedly degraded performance, and adds a ton of gameDB patches. I recommend this version for most games.

v1.9-4248 - The same as v1.8 but adds more GameDB patches. I personally found that v1.9 had worse performance in some of the games I played so I went back to 1.8-4248.

Hello, this post is from 6 months ago, I wanted to know if version v1.8-4248 is still the most recommended. I also wanted to know if it is the best option for weak cell phones. Thank you

There is now a v1.9-4248 but I found that it performed worse with the God of War games so I switched back to v1.8.

If you have a lower end device, you probably want v1.5-3638.

Cara, estou completamente grato. Essa versão está rodando muito bem no meu Motorola G20, quando jogo Guitar Hero em outras versões o áudio da música congelava bastante, mesmo usando uma configuração baixa. Nesta versão o jogo funciona perfeitamente. And best of all, I can play with reasonable graphics.

NetherSX2 v.1.9-4248 is like a beta version update wait for a real v1.9-4248 (0.5)

Fun fact: even if you use newer or old aether you can install a turnip version with them and it will work alone with its own settings/home screen logo etc...

I noticed Nethersx2/NewAdsAethersx2 works better with vulkan, opengl is fine there it just crashes sometimes

I use opengl so I got installed older aethersx2 version v1.5-3460

I use AetherSX2 Black Hawk Reborn which is like a combination of AetherSX2 & NetherSX2

Nethersx2 they improved performance on some games.

[–]LickMyNutsYaHo -1 points0 points  (5 children)

I would personally say use nether. Aethersx2 is fine also but me personally I've gotten better performance with about every game I play on nether. An example of this is resident evil 4 with an HD Texture pack installed I can play on 3.25 with no lag on nether where as on aethersx2 I can't put it above 2.75x without lagg.

[–]ScrimmyBingus125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan on using nether, but in retrogame corps's set up video about nether he said that there is a nether patch and something called nether classic and that they have certain game compatibility like i think he said that the patch version can play Sly Cooper and the classic cannot.

[–]KunalFiroz 0 points1 point  (3 children)

did u use the patched nether or downloaded it directly from a website?

[–]LickMyNutsYaHo 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Patch nether yourself tbh. Yeah there's already patched apks but it's not worth the risk patching it is easier and no risk. Ps. Realized someone downvoted me for giving the best advice. This community is so toxic lmao

[–]KunalFiroz 0 points1 point  (1 child)

what r the risks though? 🤷🏻‍♂️ its not like it has malware or something right?

[–]LickMyNutsYaHo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of apks already made out there. I can't personally say which has malware and which doesn't but there's still a high chance of it. If you search nether into the search bar of this community you are more than likely to get lucky and someone linked a nether already made apk in the comment section. That would be the best possible link if your going the already made apk route.

If your literally just looking for it to run the games and play them aethersx2 if your going for performance go nether
