I tried and tried to get this one to run at full speed. I did not succeed with a playable experience until I found the turnip version of aethersx2 for adreeno gpus. Finally, it's semi playable. I do scroll through the setting one or twice and check the normal and unsafe setting for the emulator. _________________________ Phone : Galaxy s21 Ultra - 12gb Ram 128gb Storage _________________________ Download Aethersx2/Nethersx2 https://archive.org/details/nethersx-2-prepatched If you want the turnip version- check my other uploads on archive.org _________________________ Ai Description *Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus* is an action-adventure platformer developed by Sucker Punch Productions and released for the PlayStation 2 in 2002. The game tells the story of Sly Cooper, a young raccoon from a family of master thieves who have passed down their unique thieving techniques through a book called the *Thievius Raccoonus*. This book, which holds centuries of thieving wisdom, is stolen when Sly is a child by a ruthless group of criminals known as the Fiendish Five. The Fiendish Five not only steal the book but also murder Sly’s family, leaving him an orphan. Sly is raised in an orphanage, where he meets his best friends and future partners in crime: Bentley, a brilliant and cautious turtle, and Murray, a fun-loving but strong hippo. Together, they form a team determined to reclaim the pages of the *Thievius Raccoonus* and restore Sly’s family legacy. The plot revolves around Sly and his gang traveling to various exotic locations, from the streets of Paris to an ancient temple in China, a snowy Russian outpost, and more. Each member of the Fiendish Five holds a piece of the *Thievius Raccoonus*, and Sly must defeat them one by one to recover the book. The Fiendish Five consists of: 1. **Sir Raleigh** – A mechanical frog who uses machines to cause chaos and control a weather machine. 2. **Muggshot** – A massive bulldog who became a gangster after being bullied as a child. 3. **Mz. Ruby** – A voodoo crocodile with dark magic powers. 4. **Panda King** – A firework expert with a tragic backstory who uses explosives for crime. 5. **Clockwerk** – The game’s ultimate antagonist, an ancient mechanical owl who has hated Sly’s family for generations and seeks to destroy their legacy. Throughout the game, Sly uses stealth, agility, and gadgets to sneak past guards, avoid traps, and solve puzzles. He can pickpocket enemies, hide in shadows, and perform acrobatic feats like tightrope walking and scaling walls. Stealth is a key element, as direct confrontation often leads to failure. Each level is designed around sneaking through enemy bases, collecting clues, and recovering pieces of the *Thievius Raccoonus*. As Sly recovers pages, he learns new skills, like speed boosts and new stealth techniques, further enhancing his abilities. The game features a colorful, cel-shaded art style that gives it a comic book feel, with cutscenes unfolding like comic panels. The storytelling is lighthearted yet filled with themes of loyalty, revenge, and redemption. Sly’s playful banter with his friends, particularly Bentley’s overcautious planning and Murray’s bumbling bravery, adds humor and charm to the narrative. A key subplot involves Carmelita Fox, an Interpol inspector who is constantly pursuing Sly. Carmelita is determined to bring Sly to justice, but there is a hint of romantic tension between the two, as Sly often flirts with her while dodging capture. This dynamic adds a “cat-and-mouse” element to the game, as Sly must outsmart Carmelita while staying focused on his mission. *Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus* combines platforming, puzzle-solving, and stealth action, creating a unique gameplay experience. It was praised for its tight controls, engaging story, and stylish visuals, helping it stand out from other platformers of its time. The game became the first in a series, with Sly’s adventures continuing in later titles as he and his gang take on even more daring heists.
