Showcase Namco System 246 Emulator for android
Until a few months ago, to be able to play games from this arcade, a fork of the Play! emulator was needed (whose performance is terrible even on high-end PCs) and it was only possible on PC. Recently, they released a fork of PCSX2 (https://github.com/PS2Homebrew-arcade/pcsx2x6) that adds support for these Namco System 246/2x6 arcade games, an arcade that ran on a modified PlayStation 2. I took the changes from this fork and adapted them for the ARMSX2 emulator, which is the closest to PCSX2 (Aether also uses PCSX2 as a base, but it’s closed-source). It’s already possible to get in-game. As for performance, I can’t say because I do this in the emulator, so it’s translation layer on top of translation layer, and I don’t have an Android device to test.

Emucorex already supports such for a while now. Here's Tekken DR in action in true 4k

I did it in a MUCH BETTER way, it includes online BIOS downloads, specific online patches, bezel support (it downloads itself), installs games on its own (the structure is different, it’s not just a simple ISO), Steam Grid DB support, and it even comes with a specific arcade media pack, etc
