im sick of watching videos of people who have managed to install and make this work. trawling the mass of how to videos/guides. even the official readme instructions are a waste of time. there is literally no step by step 'no jargon' guide out there for people who want to use this sofware.
i literally just want to see what this program is like. if its worth it i'll get the supporter version. ive downloaded tha cab file. installed to sd card. and ive got a fpssece 0.10 'controller' icon and a folder called psone games in my start menu. ive got a pocket iso program on my pc, my first instinct was to put a psone game in my pc and copy a file and stick it on my phone? or am i way off? my computer doesnt recognise the disk so it just spits it back out again. i realise i need a bios file as everyone keeps saying. as well as another file which needs ripping from the disc. but if i need to either download these, where from? and if i get them from a psone disc, how?
anyone fancy helping a noob? would be really nice if i could sit next to my mate at work while he's playing some "amazing" iphoney game and im loading up gran turismo......
look here
https://docs.google.com/View?docID=0AdVfPUz8Gt9cZDVoM2ozcl8wYzh0aDl3Y2Y&revision=_latest
hadnt found that guide. very helpful. with a few useful tutorials linked in. ive already sorted the bios out i just need an image. like i said ive got a psone game ive been trying to rip but my drive doesnt recognise it. i may try some 3rd party software and see if that works. thanks for the link
ok. just to clear things up. now that i know where to look for info and how to complete installation etc there is a small issue. it turns out that my dvd drive, although only a year or so old is incapable of reading a psone disc. i tried it in 2 computers at work which are older (1 desktop is 7 years old!) this totalled 3 cd and dvd drives and 'gran turismo' popped up in explorer every time. its not a major issue as i'll just copy the data i need onto a usb stick and bring it home. but if anyone knows a work around for an optical drive or if there are some disks some can and cant read then can they let me know.
cheers
ok. got a bios loaded into the bios folder. got some image files of gran turismo loaded onto my sd card. now if i load the program up i get a strange interface. drop down menu at the top with all images in it. below is a list
bios
cfg
exe
memcards
plugin
skins
sstates
but no loadable game rom? ive used slysoft clone and the poket iso to get an image of a game. but ive got 5 gran turismo files. is that right?
they are
gtimage.sub - 26mb
gtimage.img - 658mb
gtimage.ccd - 773b
gtimage.img.znx.table - 2.80mb
gtimage.img.znx - 366.68mb
ive put all of these on my sd card in a sub folder. what do i do now?
ok. ive been playing and got a little further. but my actions have made me think that ive ripped the cd image wrong or something else hasnt gone right. ive moved the 5 files i mentioned from a folder on the sd card to the program files/fpsece folder on the card. this didnt work as there was stil nothing in the loader screen. i then moved them to the bios folder with the bios i downloaded. all 5 files now appear in the loader screen along with the bios. but as they are seperate files such as music and they wont load anything when i select them. i also found them in the psone folder with fpsece icons attached to them in the start menu folder (did wonder what it was for) so they partially work
my question is, what have i done wrong during the ripping/compressing stage if anything? am i supposed to have just one file to put on my sd card? if so where? some say in the fpsece folder others say anywhere. it only partially worked on my phone putting it in the bios folder. is that right?
anyone fancy helping?

the guide also says to rip the disc as a ???? file. but there are no options in clonecd to change this. just the steps in the guide walking you through cloning and the compressing. ive done it 3 times now and got the same files every time.
the pocket iso guide says to select the 'cd image' from within pocket iso. so is this 1 of the files i get after ripping or do i select all of them? how many files am i supposed to have after the disc is ripped??? and how many should i have after compression????
ok. so success. problem was slysoft clone. download was corrupted so i uninstalled and found a better copy. ripped the image. compressed. i had to put the image into the bios folder to be able to load the game but it worked. must say it runs very well. what i was more impressed was the speed at which the supported version was sent out. after playing around more i decided its not very useful having no save/load options etc.
i have a new problem now though. gran turismo the game will load.i get the sony computer entertainment screen then a black screen with a cd skipping sound. is this a setting within fpsece that i need to adjust or something to do with the phone?

Hey all. So a few things Im wondering about. First, the most annoying, is my phone will randomly not see my SD storage card. When I go to explorer or Resco explorer it wont be there. I can reboot adn see it, then later it wont. Known issue?
Second. On the media tab is there a way to make a third party media player (Core) be default on that tab? Im guessing an XML entry?
Third. Is there a way to re-arrange tabs? For example I dont want programs tab at the other end, etc.
Im also trying to figure out how to change the clock but having issues following instructions I guess...it isnt working yet lol I'll post in those threads.
1: I think maybe you have the phone plugged into your computer? If so, when in disk drive mode you won't be able to see the card on your phone.
2: Not sure about changing media player on media tab, though I am sure it is possible.
3: Download Advanced Config 3.3 or later if there is later, it has an option to add a couple tabs and change their order (diamond software forum)
4: There are a few clocks threads in the diamond software forum. I found that downloading cab files did all of the tricky inserting-files-in-specific-places business, if you don't feel like messing with manilla editors
hope this helps somewhat
Not seein SD card is not a known issue... Check if the card has got bad blocks...
OP, when you say you can't see the SD card, is the phone connected to a computer using the Disk Drive connection? If so, then it makes the card look invisible to the file explorers...

I think you may be right. I noticed some quirks when attached as drive instead of AS, and it was in those times. Its just odd that AFTERWARDS the phone wouldnt see the card. It seems to be working now though.
Hi,
Os there any way to watch movies on www.youku.com other than skyfire and flashlite in Opera?
What I would like to see the most would be downloading tool, that would allow me to download the files onto my phone and watch it with whatever ... Unfortunately I think that youku have changed something in their scripts and most of the ways of downloading files from youku I found in the internet doesn't work. ie. the extension to TCPMP shows an error massage, similarily to many other tools I have found.
The only one that still works is www.clipnabber.com . Unfortuantely it is not very handy to use clipnabber with youku on pocket pc. The reason for it is that youku divides files into parts, and when you want to download a movie, clipnabber shows you ie. 15 different links. On pc it's not a real problem for me, as I use netvampire pro and I can simply drag all 15 links into the drop basket in one move and voila. They all start to download. Then I make a que in subedit player and they play in the right order. On pocket PC I dobn't know any download manager that would be able to do this ....
(Actually this division into smaller parts is a blessing as, when you start downloading 15 files at once, the download is muuuuuuuuuuuch faster then if you tried to do it with one file. )
Is there any kind of tool that would be able NOW to dowload files from this site?
Unfortunitely the best I've found is using opera and downloading them right after the other. Take a lil time but it works and its straight off your phone so no need for syncing. Ive had as many as 6 files downloading at 1 time until the 1st 1 was finished but I put them all in 1 folder and with tcpmp player it'll play them n the order that u add them 2 the playlist and play them back 2 back without delays.
Sorry, meant, how do i install games onto FPSece on my LG incite
Please and thank you
I seriously doubt your PDA can even handle PSX games.. let alone store more than one ROM on your Phone.. but if you really want to then i guess you should google it.
I googled it from before, but i found the game in 30 parts (Disc 1, part 1, Dis 2, Part 2, etc...)
nd they were all RAR files, so how am i supposed to install that as a ROM

The sharing of psx roms is illegal and the discussion of warez is banned on this site
EDIT: I didnt realize that talking about getting links to roms was illegal until i read the post before me so i just deleted the links
I broke down the steps just to make them easy to follow because i remember searching for a while when trying to play my first game
I assume that you already extracted teh fpsece zip file to your phone. If you didn't yet, make sure you make a new folder on your phone somewhere on the sd card and label it Fpsece, or whatever you like as long as you can locate it. When you downloaded fpsece, it should be in a zip. Extrap all of the files in the zip (yes all of them) to the folder that you created on your sd card. Once extracted, go to your phone and open up File Explorer and find the new folder you created. Next click on FPSEce.exe (it has a playstation icon). From there you should be in the main menu. Select Options, Bios, Choose bios, and select SCPH1001.BIN. Now that you have selected it, go to options, Misc, Display, and select Portrait suince you dont have a keyboard or if you have a bluetooth gaming pad, you can select Landscape.
Now to play the game, press start, and if the game ends in like .bin, .iso, .img, .nrg, .z, .bz, or .znx, press ISO and select the game. If the game ends in .psx, .exe, .elf, or .cpe, press ESE. You should be able to play the game now!

THis thread is going now where and dur to questionable material, i am closing it.
Hi guys I just saw that psx4droid is out in the market! Hooray!
But I saw my friend had some problems getting it set up and wanted to make it easier for other newbies so I figured I would do a step by step tutorial of how my friend got it working for his Nexus One.
Step 1: Download psx4droid in the android market (search psx and it will come up)
Step 2: Connect your phone to your computer via usb and create a folder where you will place your Bios file and Roms (SDcard -> then create a new folder PSXoid)
Step 3: google the term scph1001.bin and download the file
Step 4: place the scph1001.bin file in the newly created folder PSXoid
Now comes the tricky part with the roms since most of them have a wierd ECM file type that wont be recognized by your emulator; dont worry you just need to convert the file type to bin so the emulator can recognize it
Step 5: go to http://www.underground-gamer.com/wiki/index.php/ECM and download ECM under the Windows section of the page and extract the UNECM portion of the EMC download to the desktop
Step 6: grab the Rom in ECM format from the desktop and place it into the UNECM file now on the desktop, it will start making a copy of the Rom with the correct file type and will pull up a small black screen showing you that it is converting it to the correct format with a percentage ticking away to 100%
Step 7: now that you have the PSX Rom in the correct bin format, you can place it in the newly created PSXoid folder and your emulator will now be able to see it!
Step 8: unplug phone from USB and open psx4droid app
Step 9: Use the top portion of the settings to search for and select scph1001.bin as the bios file to use (It's easy to find since you know its in the PSXoid folder)
Step 10: Once you have selected the bios file you will be promted to find a rom that you want to use. You will now be able to see the rom and play it on your psx4droid emulator!
Enjoy =)
***Just a few tidbits in case people were wondering my friend is not rooted and this guide is for educational purposes only. Downloading illegal roms can get you in trouble and don't do it unless you have the original game you purchase.
EDIT: On Droid Forums a user by the name of Titan posted this comment when he was confused by step 6 ------ "Ah I got it working now, I get the .7z or .zip roms I downloaded, and I keep opening up the main folders/.zips until I get to a file called data.bin.ecm. Then I drag that to unecm. It seems that the "data.bin.ecm" is the game in all that mess. "

No... but that's ok since people who buy apple products should be punished and are used to being prevented from using emulators anyways

Just giving you a hard time brotha
I was going to refund it as well until I figured out how it works. Guess Mac users have to figure out another work around though.

Why don't you guys just skip the emc step and download the iso of the game you want?

cuz not all the games come in iso form. i havent stumbled across an iso file yet n ive downloaded a lot of roms already from different sites to test out
Was hoping this would help but it doesn't seem to be applicable to the problems I'm having. I have a working bios and working game ISO's (tested under ePSXe on the PC) but nothing works on my phone. Just get a black screen. Tried turning sound off and framerate down but it doesn't help. Tried both PAL bios and PAL games as well as NTSC bios and an NTSC game. Running on an unrooted HTC Desire.
Might return it if it's as a lame duck as it seems.
I've been waiting for this to drop ever since the news first leaked. I can't wait to get some final fantasy rolling on the Nexus. That's a good way to kill some time.
I hope that ecm soft works fine under wine on an ubuntu desk
Crash Bandicoot and Ridge Racer run great on my Motorola Milestone oc-ed to 1.2Ghz Even Silent Hill if you have some patience to let it pass the Konami logo, just white squares around the characters like I have seen in a lot of PSX emus...
downloaded Tekken 3 in BIN format but the game don't start, black screen..
i dont remember but i think if you go to psp hacks you can get a prog that will rip your cd and then turn it into a eboot.pbp i have several that i have done back in my psp hacking days and they seem to work, crash bandicoot,resident evil, those that dont work so far has been syphon filter all of them and metal gear. going to try grand torsimo and a few other during the week. these all work on my hack psp. 0000000000000 popstation i think is the name of the program i use.
Can someone please help me with this, specially step 6. It states:
"grab the Rom in ECM format from the desktop and place it into the UNECM file now on the desktop, it will start making a copy of the Rom with the correct file type and will pull up a small black screen showing you that it is converting it to the correct format with a percentage ticking away to 100%"
I downloaded ECM 100 from the site. I then unzipped it and I got the following files: uncem (Application), uncem.c (c file), readme, gpl, format, ecm (Application) and ecm.c (c file).
So what do I do now? Do I place the "format txt file" into the UNECM App file or what...I'm totally lost on this step.
Thanks

I don't know..that's where I'm lost. I don't know if I'm suppose to place the format.txt file into the uncem (app) file or the uncem.c (c file).
The instructions are a little vague. Hopefully someone can post and give somemore insight into these instructions.
for those who own psp or ps3 you can buy those psx/psp they will work with the emu the one i have have work.
Damn the only thing I keep getting is a black screen
ok i found out what it is we need to do to use save files from other emulators or dexdrive saves on our evo's.
1st. there are many dexdrive saves located at http://www.gamefaqs.com. goto the ps1 list, select your game and then goto the tab "saves". dexdrive saves are full dumps of ps1 memory cards. these files are in .gme format and we need to convert them over to .mcr format.
then download this http://www.aldostools.org/memoryconverter.zip. it is a memory card file converter. it will not run in windows 7 64 for me. i ran it in a xp virtual machine that i have built and it worked just fine. other os's i have no clue about. when you run it, it asks you for the memeory card file. use the .gme file and then hit convert. it defaults to saving it as a bleem save game but if u click the drop down menu and select the top .mcr file, epsxe i think, and then click finished.
now connect your phone to the pc and toggel usb. go the the .psx4droid directory and copy your files here. i had allready made a save game and just renamed the new one to the one i allready had.
Dude you're the man! Thanks, this is exactly the information I was looking for. The program I used was different from yours: http://moberg-dybdal.dk/psxge/
It works on windows 7, though I can't make it save more than 1 save per memory card, so I use card 2 for the dexdrive save. Also, it saves it as a different format, I think ".mcd" but I just renamed the file "mem0002.mcr" or whatever that stock name was, and it works just fine.
Thanks again bro! The psx4droid's usefulness has definitely gone up big time!
PS save states to PSX4droid save states
This is great to use with Memory cards but I was trying to find a work around for some games which freeze at the start screen.
I was hoping to take the .psv save state I can get from a pre loaded Metal Gear Solid and then convert it to the same type of save state in psx4droid and do a quick load and see if I can skip the title screen thus enabling me to play the game from where the save state left off.
The load option freezes in MGS as well so my memory card save from my PC psx emulator does not do me any good.
Oddly enough the disc 2 seems to work fine at the menu to start and load a new game...problem being it asks you to insert disc 2 and then you are screwed. I am going to try and convert a disc 2 save of MGS and see if I can load disc 2 on my Nexus one.
I have the same problem with Parasite Eve 2 freezes as soon as it boots.
this thread is the best thing that i have ever found. i was searching how to do this all over the internet, and it was right here all along. thanks fellas!
edit: does anyone know how to change the block number of the saved games?
