Barely. The HardKernel Odroid Go Ultra struggles with PlayStation 2. A few of the lightest titles are tolerable, but most games — certainly God of War II and Gran Turismo 4 — run too slowly to enjoy. If PlayStation 2 matters to you, look at a stronger device below.
| PlayStation 2 game | On this device |
|---|---|
| Kingdom Hearts | Choppy but runs |
| Final Fantasy X | Choppy but runs |
| Ratchet & Clank | Choppy but runs |
| God of War II | Won't run well |
| Gran Turismo 4 | Won't run well |
| Shadow of the Colossus | Won't run well |
| Burnout 3 | Won't run well |
