Short answer
Hot Shots Tennis now has an unofficial remaster for the browser, PC and phones: OpenTennis by FIZL0, a from-scratch rewrite in Rust (Bevy engine) that plays from your own US PS2 disc. Open opentennis.dev and pick your ISO, or download it for Windows, Linux, Android or iOS. Latest release: v1.3.7 (23 October 2026). It is a work in progress.
Hot Shots Tennis is Clap Hanz’s 2007 tennis game for the PlayStation 2, from the team behind Hot Shots Golf; it is called Everybody’s Tennis in Europe and Minna no Tennis in Japan. OpenTennis was created on 7 October 2026 and had 12 releases by 23 October.

What it is
- A rewrite, not an emulator: new Rust code that aims to be the same game, with the same ball physics, rules, timing and AI, checked frame by frame against the real game, plus better rendering.
- The original’s art and sound from your disc: everything the game shows or plays is read at runtime from your own copy.
- Many platforms: the browser site, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS, and an online lobby. A beta site gets every change first.
What you need
- Your own US PS2 disc image of Hot Shots Tennis (boot file SCUS_976.10). Other regions don’t work.
- No PS2 BIOS, emulator or other files: those are only for the project’s research tools.
- A browser for opentennis.dev, or the release for your device from GitHub.
The README asks people not to request or share disc images. We don’t link or explain how to get them either.
Not working?
- Disc refused: it checks the boot file and the image’s size and header; only the US release is accepted.
- Something plays differently from the PS2: the project compares against recordings of the real game, so a report with a clip helps.

FAQ
Is there a Hot Shots Tennis PC port?

Which disc does OpenTennis need?
