Bumping for outbreak
I love that game, but unfortunately I only play PS2 on my handhelds these days, and I donβt think Aethersx2 supports multiplayer online. I hope you find a good crew though, make sure to take screenshots!
I think I saw someone mention somewhere that the Xbox port of PCSX2 works with online games including the Outbreak fan server, so maybe the Android version does too? π€
Edit: Looked into it and netplay was never implemented. It does indeed work on XBSX2 though, according to this post
if I figure out how to run PCSX2 on nixOS I would be down
PCSX2 has a Linux version so you should be good to go. (Steam Deck users can play the games online too, in case any are reading this)
Is it possible to play with a real PS2 with no mods? Maybe with a custom dns?
It is, actually. The wiki at obsrv.org has instructions on how to set things up on a real PS2 and in fact recommends it as the most stable option. Not sure if there would be load time shenanigans between a PS2's DVD read speed and emulators running on all sorts of different devices.

It looks like you can also play on a PS3! Neat.
Note that you will need a way to run the patched Japanese isos at the very least, unless you have the original Japanese discs on hand and the region locking isn't an issue.
Remember that you don't need to hard mod your PS2 in this day and age with things like FreeMCBoot.
It would be awesome to play online on an original PS2, but it's looking like emulation would be more performant, and prettier too.
I wonder why only the JP version though, it's a shame though bc I got the original game
Yeah, you can play the game upscaled to any resolution you want and in widescreen, and it looks very nice (apart from the widescreen patch occasionally displaying stuff that was not intended to be seen):
The reason for the fan server only working with the Japanese versions of the games is because the JPN region servers were what the team behind the fan server managed to reverse engineer. The US and European server were killed in 2007 while Capcom kept the Japanese servers going on for 4 more years. There's actually a video about the creation of the fan server on Youtube.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
