Hi guys, I was hoping we could get a project together to work on a Playstation 1 emulator for Android.
What I miss about my HD2 was FPSECE.
Something like this for us Android users (mainly snapdragon) would be awesome!
A paid app for it would be even better. (money going to whoever creates the app, not me)
Tell me your ideas on this!
+1 was thinking about this when i found at that the N900 had a PSX Emu, Chrome Broswer and Firefox :|
PSX Emu is on almost everythin except Android :/

Would be cool.. but I'm sure it would absolutely KILL the battery
How do you plan on controlling games?
I can't really see this being an enjoyable experience, unless you have a BT controller or something and you're sitting on a plane or bus where you can prop your phone up.
Iphone has it... wers its buttons ... as long as touchscreen buttons are correctly layed out across the screen it shud be fine. I dont find it hard to play the snes emu or any other emu on the nexus tbh
Also on the N900 they got the ps3 pad hooked up... maybe thats summet that can be done on android, now that would be...
I'm more interested in a n64 emulator myself.

Maybe somebody could figure or a way to connect a dual shock 3 via bluetooth. lol
I saw that someone managed to get the Wii controller to connect to the iPhone for playing games
This would be absolutely awesome!
Thanks for all the responses guys!
I think we cold make this or a N64 emulator happen for snapdragon devices.
For a physical controller:

bump. Let's get this thread going again!
I would personally love to see this happen and have loads of GI Bill money to DONATE toward the cause!

oooh! that would be awesome.
Maybe someone with C++, linux, and java can help us out
Has anyone tried contacting the developer of Fpsece or the developer of Psx4all? They might be able to help get a ps1 emulator for android.
Yes and was completely ignored...
this is a shame, with android becoming more and more popular, a KILLER app like this could change the tide faster. I hope some bright folks reconsider and make one.
Guys with the way the Nexus handles multi touch, PSX games would be near unplayable. Any game where you are pressing multiple buttons simultaneously will have a big problem translating over. Hell, this even applies to many of the SNES roms there.
sad news i was surprised on how well the hd2 handled it. damn do i miss playing psx on it
PSX emulator would be a waste of time, how do you expect to emulate 2 analog control sticks, 4 buttons and the R1/R2/L1/L2 buttons? Only very basic games would be playable.
Even playing PSX games on a PSP is difficult enough sometimes.

its not a waste of time..its available for windows mobile and works beautifully for the hd2..also on the iphone
and it is almost done..yongzh the creator of the emulators on android and zodttd the creator of the emulators for iphone are working together on it
Does anyone know if Nintendo or anyone plans on releasing a version of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Android?
Your chances are equal to zero!
Afaik the guy who is behind psx4droid ist working on a N64 Emulator.
You wont achive full speed with the early releases I think but its great news anyways that a N64 Emu is in the works!

Well, I suppose an emulator is better then nothing but to be honest I was hoping for a zelda oot revamped for android...and I guess the other OS that shall not be named.
I just want to let people know what an awesome app FPse is. If you dont know what it is its a PlayStation 1 emulator. I had tried it out on my previous phone the MyTouch Slide but wasnt very happy with the performance. Using it with my G2x though is like holding a little Playstation in my hand. So far I have beaten Resident Evil Nemesis on it and I'm working on Metal Gear Solid and Road Rash 3D, both of which run beautifully on the G2x. No need for Tegra Zone games on here, I'd rather play full length PS1 games!
Is it comparable to PSXdroid?

i don't know about that last part buddy... i can't WAIT for Galaxy on fire 2 to drop. Played it on my itouch.. sold the itouch.. and i'm missing it bad. very good game with very good graphix. in the meantime the gameloft knock-offs are keeping me fairly entertained. LOL
Where can I get the app and is there **** a bios setup?

Better...just better. Give it a try.
this runs so flawlessly way better than psx4droid
anyone know how to make the l1,r1 and start and select buttons to display in landscape mode?
edit: nevermind I got it
This emulator beats psx4droid hands down.
FPse is much better than psx4droid. The bios os avaliable online just google it. I find emuparadise to be the best rom site around. The only thing with roms on emuparadise is alot of them are .ecm file so u need to unecm them but that software is available on thier site
bios
I need help I couldn't figure out how to use this app I download the Tom's but I can't seem to find the BIOS after extracting can some one give me a link for spyro
It might be better, but for the average user I think the "free" price tag of psxdroid sounds better
The price tag of free Is always good. Its always nice to support our app makers. It keeps them coming back to the android platform.
I tried both and fpse was way more polished. psx4droid only became free when It was pulled from the market.

I paid for psxdroid back when I owned an n1 and only received "updates" that worsened performance each time. Fsck psxdroid, I'm glad the dev got hosed.

The BIOS file is completely separate from ROM files. The same BIOS file is needed for all PS1 ROM files. I'm sure theres a rule against posting links to files like that so just google "scph1001.bin" and you shouldnt have a problem finding it.

you can use your hdmi cable and play it on your hdtv! its like having a portable snes genesis n64 and playstation wherever you go! needless to say its pretty awesome

Download 7zip. Then right click the file and choose extract here. You have to do this on the pc.
Hello to all!
I can see that nobody talk aout this.
Can you suggest some emulators for old consoles wich best suits this device?
I'm using some from android market but those do not have option to save game. That's bad, realy bad. You have to buy full version I guess to have that option.
All in all any sugesstion can help.
Oh, I tried to use snesoid, gamebod, gensoid... but they doesn' work. I'm found them on internet. they work great on my wildfire s but here is no go...
Boysi, a little bit off-topic, but do you think the Status' screen size is good enough to play PlayStation games using the PS Emulator (which has been banned from the market)?
For sega genesis, snes and game boy advance is big enough. I will try psx and than I can tell you.
btw Newer versions of Gameboid, Snesoid, Gensoid... are work great on this phone.

The one that was banned was pretty crap, but FPse is on there and going strong. Works wonders on my Desire, will try it on the girlfriend's ChaCha over the weekend.

got gameboid on my brothers cha cha and it doesnt work, such a shame! I've tried so many emulators on this model but none properly work! why is this?!
I'm using John NES Lite though and I am quite happy with it. I have Super Mario (old time classics, eh) only.
Gameboid, Gensoid, Snesoid, Nesoid... All works for me. Just try to find some new version. For Gameboid you need gba bios file. Just google it. You'll find it, I'm sure.
have you already tried fpse on chacha what is your review

Yeah, I would like to know that too! I am planning to buy it for my sister. who has no interest in Emulators, but still I want to know!
ScummVM and DosBox

Apart from those emulators ScummVM works extremely well on my ChaCha. It sometimes takes me a blank screen when start-ups (only if RAM is low / very low!) but no game crashes whatsoever so far once loaded and I have tried the following games on it successfully:
Day of the Tentacle (CD version)
Beneath a steel Sky (CD version)
Sam and Max Hit the Road (CD version)
You may have to install plugins available on the playstore for some of the games to be supported!
Also try DosBox for older DOS games...still haven't used DosBox extensively yet to fully confirm how well it works for the ChaCha nut with my experience so far it works well (only a week or so trying it out)
If you dont know what this app is, its a Nintendo DS emulator for android phones that was never taken out of BETA.Since this has been removed from the market i think all development has stopped, i think this is a real shame because it has a lot of potential especially with higher and higher specs on android phones.
There are probably similar threads already but i think the subject has run dry and i want to keep the idea of such a cool app in android owners minds.
I was wondering if any developer would take up the job of either starting fresh or adding onto NDS4Droid app. I would but i have no clue where to start when it comes to coding so i cant be much help
The reason i have posted this into the xperia play section is because i would hope that eventually it would be controller optimised.
This is my second thing i have posted in the forums so sorry if i have done anything wrong. Feel free to correct me on anything
+1
This was just the kinda thing I was hoping for, seeing all the groundwork on it going to waste is just a shame :/ Hopefully an awesome Dev will pick it up !
Do you people understand why this project never got very far?
It was because of the hardware capability of our phones. It was not enough for a fully functional DS Emulator which is why development had stopped.
And even if someone did want to continue the Development of this for some unknown reason, then it is impossible because the source code never got released.
The hardware is stron enough, NDS is compareable to N64 but much lower resolution.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Try TigerNDS it supports physical button mapping
http://apps.tigerplay.info/
Also I do belive that with enough optimisations NDS emultion could run full (or near full) speed on the xperia play. Obviously you need to get a talented developer with enough free time on thier hand to actuall bother doing this.
If a new emu never gets made then we could use this current one with future hardware when it gets powerfull enough but thats still a good couple of years away and also none of the current NDS emulators have audio emulation...
Of course the hardware is good enough for the ds we are getting psp games soon which are better graphics than the ds.....

That is because the those games are direct ports and not emulated. Emulators require like x3+ hardware of the actual console which is why some PSX/N64 Games still lag because they are using "Emulation".
The games will be ports and not ran by an emulator so just remember that
NDS has like a 66mhz ARM processor in it. It should be possible hardware wise, but not so ideal in the physical side of things. Showing two 3" screens on one 4" screen will look awkward, especially since the screens are supposed to be one on top of the other.

I was hoping someone would bring this fact to light.
Quality DS emulation is definitely possible. I'm waiting on one of these NDS emulators to offer the option to only emulate/display one of it's screens. A lot of the times, the second screen could be completely ignored, and that'd drastically improve performance.
All I'd really want an NDS emu for is Phantasy Star Zero... that alongside many other DS games can be played using only one screen.
i'm sure that xperia play can support it . it's looooooooong time that i hope to see update for tiger NDS or NDS4droid
i'm really really eager to help someone ( donate ) want to start this project . i've sent sooooo many mails to tiger , but no answer .
lets try it together and find a way to start it guys.
do you follow me ?

i do agree , please port some popular games , mario series
yes! it is totally doable, especially on high end phones now, like my Galaxy Nexus. let's get to work guys!!
I already got PSP games Loco Roco Midnight Carnival in my Play, im sure this game is not a port, it run with Playstation Pocket just like Crash Bandicoot and PSXPERIA converted PSX games, only different by some software coding because it failed while i try to extract it with PSXPERIA.
PSP had better graphic than NDS, im pretty sure Xperia Play have more than enough power to run the game.

You cant not just port a game with was released for completly different plattform. You need the source code to do this and no nds game (except some homebrew) is open source.
Since NDS not a Sony's . We will never get nicely emulated game on our phone

is sony owner of nintendo64 , super nintendo , genesis ... ????!!!!
NDS games is different and is not similar to psp , please post your comment about psp on another forum
Please read carefully my statement. I said 'NDS not owned by SONY's' ,and i said 'I already own PSP games Loco Rock MC running in my XPERIA Play' , im not posting about any PSP device.
If i write about Arcade games running on my X Play, do you want me to post it on other /arcade forum too ?

misunderstood !!
please talk about NS as much as you can ... to turn on this project
I don't know if this is enough but you can easily convert the dex file to jar and then decompile the jar file to view the source of the emulator.
