TL;DR PS2 emulator NetherSX2 has released update 2.1, providing a nice performance boost.
The update also fixes regressions and visual bugs introduced in version 2.0.
There are two versions with different strengths, so take care to download the correct version.
The PS2 emulator NetherSX2 got a big update just a few months ago, but it didn’t take long for some users to notice that it had a few issues. Rather than improving the overall performance of the closed-source AetherSX2 emulator, it had a few regressions that caused visual bugs in games that previously didn’t have them.
Now, developer Trixarian has released another update, version 2.1, to fix these regressions and improve overall performance. There are specific fixes for the Jak games, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, Timesplitters, and more.
Version 2.1 also features updated widescreen and no-interlacing patches, as well as the latest version of Controller DB to improve compatibility with different input devices.

Build 4248 is recommended for most users, but older Mali devices should use Build 3668.
