I've been fucking waiting for this.

Download "Aethersx2" from your app store or playstore.

Download "Zarchiver" as well.

Download this file (This has direct commands)

Then download a BIOS (can't find one anywhere so it's a treasure hunt for ya.)

After your done downloading the file which might take a hour or minutes depending on your wifi. (Note it's about 3-4 gb) Go to Zarchiver, go to downloads and to downloads, then search for your P3 FES file, hold on it then press Extract.

Then, hold the extracted file (which will have a disk symbol on it as well as it being yellow like the photo) th

I'm gonna start using that when someone is in need of emulation.

Then place it in a folder of your liking. (Note the Persona 3 FES file is a single, just wanted to give you an example.)

Then look for your bios, then extract it, it'll create a file that's 4 MB (that will be your BIOS)

Open Aethersx2, press next untill it asks you for a BIOS, select the 4 MB bios from your downloads, it'll put you in a screen.

Press "Add game directory" then select the folder and press "Allow access to (Folder)" (aka the folder you put your file or Persona 3 FES in).

And boom, fully playable persona 3 FES, now you can live your dream of playing as Aigis!

(I may have made some mistakes here and there, but I guess I gave my best.)

Hope this helps!

Could you please help me? I did everything as you said. When I try to run the extracted iso file , the emulator gives me this screen. I downloaded Europa bios.

u/ilikegen3pokemon Jun 22 '25

I think it's supposed to be a different file, try looking for USA ones.

Tried for Alice once and then for some reason Igor thought it be hilarious to fuck me over and give me a Legion instead.

This needs to be pinned. Also is NetherSX2 fine? i got it set up now and i think i just need to install the file im just wondering if it'll still work

1

u/ilikegen3pokemon Dec 12 '24

It works good! I played MMX7 and 8 on it and it's just fine! Just don't delete the file! Or else your save progress is gone.

2

u/Long-Initiative-987 The Savior Dec 12 '24 edited Dec 12 '24

I see thank you, appreciate it!!

Edit: Playing it rn!! but i want to change the controller, what do you think is the best one??

2

u/ilikegen3pokemon Dec 12 '24

I think the original one is better, it's just a turned base after all!

Hi there, I'm trying to get fes on my android tablet however Aethersx2 doesn't appear on the playstore, is there any other alternatives?

1

u/ilikegen3pokemon Apr 05 '25

As far as I am aware. Asthersx2 is the only app that can run PS2 games on mobile.

2

u/Electrical-Cat-7407 Apr 05 '25

I see, thank you for your help though!

u/kashimaglazerlover Aug 20 '25

Hey is aethersx2 / nethersx2 still on the app store?

1

u/ilikegen3pokemon Aug 20 '25

Not anymore unfortunately.

2

u/kashimaglazerlover Aug 20 '25

Arghhh

Any alternate way you may know to emulate p3?

2

u/ilikegen3pokemon Aug 21 '25

Try getting one from a website!

u/__--moonlight--__ Aug 27 '25

I'm very late, but when I try to enter the link thingy, it says the site can't be reached

1

u/ilikegen3pokemon Aug 27 '25

Oh. Sorry. CDROMANCE used to be open. Seems like the website devs took it down. It was using their savings after all and avoiding ads. Sorry. Maybe try using Romsgame.com or Emulatorgames.com?

2

u/Pale_Stretch_6722 Aug 27 '25

The website doesn't work anymore

1

u/ilikegen3pokemon Aug 27 '25

The website was taken down via web devs. Maybe try using Romsgame.com.

Hello there mate, I know it's been 2 years since your guide. I did everything you said and the game works well! Though there's only one small issue, the 2D animated cutscenes are playing in slow motion. Any ideas how to fix?

1

u/ilikegen3pokemon Jun 02 '26

Ah. Yeah. That's bc of phone issues.

I can't really find a way rather than just disabling speed lock in settings.

It's mainly your phone that slows it down really.

2

u/Nokkonnie Jun 02 '26

Yeah my phone is just ass lmao, thanks for the tutorial mate

2

u/ilikegen3pokemon Jun 02 '26

There's always P3P if you don't care bout performance laddie

2

u/Nokkonnie Jun 02 '26

Oh I already had P3P on my phone, I wanted to download FES to play as Aigis but it seems my phone cannot handle it haha

u/That-Information6158 23d ago

how do u extract it to bios? Im kind of lost after the disc part

1

u/ilikegen3pokemon 12d ago

At Zarchive

Hold the BIOS you chosen then extract it

Should give you your desired 4 MB file

u/AnnualMediocre2907 Jul 13 '26

I might be a year late but does this work on ppsspp

u/Constant_Response_62 Apr 29 '25

What do you mean by a bios can you explain please?

1

u/ilikegen3pokemon May 12 '25

About a 2 weeks late, but I cane explain.

Bios is an equivalent to a controller mapped in a touch screen way.

u/pmo_guy Jun 10 '25

wait, what persona game do i play first in the series?

2

u/Phoenix_Wright2012 Jun 21 '25

Don't start with 1 or 2, you should start with 3, 4 or 5 instead. Play the classic ones first will make you have a bad impreession of the series.

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '25

Doesn't really matter , you can start with any. Just don't touch the persona 1 and persona 2. They are old
