I was thinking about checking this emulator out to finally (maybe) play FF7. However, when I looked at it in the market, there were a lot of complaints about it not being updated anymore, and some performance/playability issues? Has anyone recently tried it on recently released phones (I have a stock DroidX)?
plays great on my incredible
There are many problems with the emulator. It will only run SOME games okay. The games it runs just seem to be random.
FF7 will work just fine... seems to be an easy game to emulator. However, another simple game like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is unplayable.
Most games are probably unplayable if you like sound. The sound is so bad on most games that you have to mute it.
The list of games that work perfectly is probably under 20... and most of those are games you don't care about
The emulator is no longer supported by the developer. He even made a comment on twitter saying "what needs to be updated?"
The emulator ignores the phones GPU and only runs off of the CPU... so faster phones don't get any performance gain. It also needs a ton of compatibility fixes, as there are so many games that just do not work.
With that being said, if the only game you want to play is FF7, you're in luck! Is it worth the money? Not if you ask me.....
Is there another PS emulator that is better supported, and works with more games?

There is no other PSX emulator
Anyone tested psx4droid yet?
it works ok for me, however wiimote will not work on tnt. it will work on zpad however.
Plays a ton of games at full speed, but the v-pad sucks for most games. Gtablet plays the following games smoothly with sound. Please note that 1.5 and 1.6 are a LOT faster than 1.7 (current version in market).
Sound is fairly rough for a lot of games though: Some are ok.
Sample of more cpu killing games for other Android devices:
Dead or Alive
Bloody Roar 2
Crash Racing
Tekken 3
NFL Blitz 2001
NBA Live 2001
March Madness 2000
NBA Showtime
Tobal 2 (when in game)
Rival Schools
There are others, but Tegra 2 handles these very well. Of course, no current way to play the games decently, since no control options other then the virtual pad.
Games play rather well with the v-pad on the Incredible and Droid X, but smaller design (closer controls & lighter) and actual touch response & multi touch is better on those devices. Catch is those devices plays all the games noted above slow, except Crash Racing.

Nice. You say 1.5 and 1.6 run smoother. Do you have .APK for one of the older versions?

Yes (from older Titanium BU), but it is apparently linked to my gmail account (would not work until I set my account up on Gtablet). It is a paid app, but the irony is the one on the market (1.7) absolutely sucks compared to 1.5 & 1.6.
Not sure why the dev takes backsteps.
You should have no problem finding the apk. In this situation, can not blame you since the current version is a lost cause.
so is 1.6 better than 1.5
ok so i got it but not sure which version, any way to find the version #.
the bios it came with, i also know nothing about. are there better bios than others?
do you know anywhere i can get a good pack of roms already packed
My Titanium backup showed 1.5, but a way to tell if you have 1.7 is they added some graphics options which are not in the older versions. There should only be scaling mode and framerate adjustment in 1.6 and lower. If you see extra settings for graphics in the menu (can not remember what they are), you have the new 1.7 version.
uh oh, 1.7 i guess haha. i'll look for some alternate .apk's
if anyone else has trouble finding apps for free i just google this...
".apk" "index of /" "NAMEOFAPPHERE"
works well for me!! thanks for all the info though!
searching for roms. is there a certain type that work?
i found listed as NTSC. not sure if there are other types but will these play probably ?
The version number is in the top right hand corner in application info (application manager). Mine says "1.5".
Best bet is eboot files, since they are smaller compressed versions of the iso files. I use eboots, since you can fir almost 2X the roms in the same space (on average).
Eboots are PSX games formatted to work on the PSP. They work here too.

Yes, but 1.1 is best for speed, but has some graphics issues (example is special weapon boxes missing in Crash Racing). This is rare though.
1.1 is easy to find by doing a search for 1.1 and psx4droid.
Worth buying though- assuming the dev fixes the 1.7 fiasco. The dev should at least offer 1.5 or 1.6 as a separate market download for paid users.
I was told v1.61 is the best one available.
I mean v1.7 has the most/best features but sufferes from a lag.
v1.1 has the best speed which is equal in v1.6, but v1.6 is slightly faster for those weaker devices (eg Milestone).
v1.6 has some new features not present in v1.1
I'm guessing a v1.8 may be released later on which is simply v1.7 minus the lag
After that (v1.8) I believe it would remain quite stagnant as zodtt wants to focus on his other projects; vlc4droid and n64droid and not to mention his apps for iOS.
Yep, 1.5 & 1.6 are best for combination of speed and all graphics visible. 1.1 is fast, but gets away with it since some graphics are missing Example is Crash Racing. 1.5 seems as fast as 1.1, but has all the graphics.
1.6 begins the step to the dark side of lag (works for a few games well, most not so much). 1.7 is even more niche and a big step backwards for the app.
Ok guys i hate to bother you with this again.
But I keep reading posts where people talk about how awesome FF VII, VIII and IX run on their android phones with FPSE but i cant for the life of me get either one of them to work good enough to be playable.
I got the latest version of FPSE and ive tried different settings, overclocking, different ISOs and all that good stuff, but I have yet to find the right settings to make the games work well enough for me to want to play them xD
Of course i can get them to run, but either the sound is just plain bad, or the menu is invisible while fighting, or the resolution is just really crappy.
No matter what i do the quality of the FF games is really bad on FPSE.
I am really sorry to bring this up again, but if anyone is getting good results with FPSE please share some of your knowledge with me
Not fpse, PSXperia.

Confirmed working for me
This post was brought to you by:

just wondering, how does PSXperia handle games with multiple discs?
No idea what to do, I've read that on the PSP, you had to merge the discs into one .ISO, but again, no idea how I go about doing that... bleh
Aw man I had hoped there would be a way to improve FPSE's performance. Im really enjoying the new CyanogenMod. Works like a charm.
So only way atm to actually play PSX Games is to go back to 2.3.3 stock and figure out how to work PSXperia right?
yap.
As for multidisk,just extract the save file folder in sd/android/data/sony.ps.ncxa_70001 (Disk 1) and put it somewhere safe,then put in Disk2 data file,and put the safe file in there.It should work the same
If your using Cynanogen7 then maybe you can download PsPocket?
uhm where could i download pspocket? oO and what exactly would that do for me?
I'm assuming cm7 doesn't have It, so you can use it as an alt to fpse

Same here. SAME SPECIFIC two games also: i played through 1/2 of FF7, and 3/4 of FF9....both were extremely playabale! Maybe a stutter here or there....but still had an awesome time playing them
I found it works better if you leave all video settings default, Don't use any of the frameskip options... Video had a higher fps for me this way. For better sound, enable it under Audio settings and make sure the .cue file for each game is in same folder as the .img/.bin files for that game. Hope this helps
Err ok ill have to give it another try. Thanks for the tips guys.
OK sorry guys, but I'm having some issues xD I can't figure out why the sound isn't working on any of my ff games its like all the effect sounds are bugged. Like when you find an item or so it's just a single beep instead of the whole sound... I'm using .img files.
Anyone got similar problems?

Hmm my game-files seem to be faulty then, cause the sound is unbearable xD.
The emulator work great but the graphic not good as it should be
I changed all the setting to the highest but steel no change
I tried psx4droid but its cruse when i load rom
The solution:
Update to the last Fpse version, then download this plugin:
http://perso.numericable.fr/schtruck/libopenglplugin.so
To load opengl plugin, just run FPse into softmode, then go to MISC menu and into the bottom choose Load OpenGL plugin,
Quit Fpse and restart to Apply change.

Its PlayStation one. Its pixelated. Some PC emulators add a blurring effect but the game should be the same.

Thank you!!
i updated and now the graphic are perfect , just like on the computer
Thanks again!
what did you change besides updating from the market? I updated to the 1/9/12 (Version 11.9) and its still pixelated.
has anyone else notice a slight lag in most games?
I have a lower powered single core device (xperia play) and it runs 100% perfect on everything I throw at it, no lag, zero frameskip just absolutely perfect.
playing the same games on my dual core tegra2 device and it's laggy as hell sometimes. (final fantasy games)
I notice that if I remove the "frame limiter" it flys... like 100fps almost unplayably fast... tried several different custom roms + stock... nothing helps
Anyone have a fix for this? Can someone post their settings for system & video etc if they have theirs running good? is there a magic plug-in I'm missing or something?
I know this device is capable of running this 100% 60+fps zero frame skip... it's either a setting I'm missing or a bug somewhere.

i've experienced the slowdowns from when I got my transformer shortly after it came out... From what I'm reading what I'm seeing is normal for the transformer. I was running the version before this and also running the newest verison in the market, small change but the issue is still there.
people seem pleased to see 50-60 fps on games like FF7, I guess I'm a little too picky... especially when I know it can do better... and I've *seen* it do better.
That video plug-in gives that buttery smoothness I am expecting to see but is very glitchy in the games I tried. Graphical errors and anomolies everywhere. Looks nice though when it's not messing up.
I might hit up the author of the program to see if he can look at it.
remove the frame limiter on fpse and load up FF7 and print framecount and play a bit, very smooth but way too fast i'm seeing 100-120fps, put the frame limit back on and it drops to "60fps" but stutters and lags like it's dropping below 30fps. specifically in fights etc and parts with high polygon count.
I'm sure it's a glitch somewhere.
I use both an Xperia Play and a Motorolla Razr, and when playing any of the three games I'm going for (Grandia, Xenogears, Suikoden II) the sides are corrupted with part of the onscreen art, but more importantly many of the video screens are completely whited out. Not necessarily FMV, but nonplayable story elements.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, I'd really like to try the openGL routine.
also having issues with FF7. tried a bunch of different settings but cant get it to my liking. Its perfect when your running around the 1st reactor but when you get in a random fight everything slows. The music, frame rate; everything. OR its faster than normal on the map then when getting in a random fight its STUPID fast. so fast that the white hand cursor that selects things is solid ( should be blinking) lol. I kinda gave up on it, too annoying to play either way.
I played xenogears for several hours. it's playable. the graphics are smooth. some cut scenes are laggy, but overall is fine. hope they fix it for ff7 battle menu.
Does anyone know what version of opengl the plugin for fpse is??
I heard someone say its 1.1 or something but for most phones running emulators wouldnt they have opengl es 2.0 natively like our tf's ?? Would make sense to have the most used and native version as the plugin wouldnt it?
I dont know all i know is its pretty as hell!! but crap fps atm Hope an update to the emu or plugin will help

I have version 0.11.14 and lastest opengl plugin. But when I use opengl plugin after quit and open FPSE again it crash. I wondering how to run FPSE in "softmode"?
I use FPSE in my Samsung Galaxy S2 run in ICS 4.0.3 leak XXLPH.
OpenGL plugin is amazing graphic improvement but I have no more fps, now I have fpm (frames per minut)
New version is out: FPse 0.11.40
here are the changes:
- Fixed sound! really perfect now! especially if you set SPUSYNC from audio menu
- Added OpenGL-ES 2.0 blitter mode as default software. Very fast and smooth, and bilinear filtered!
if you want old software mode, just go to MISC menu and select Old Software drawing then restart FPse.
- Updated openGL plugin with fixes and support for Rockchip GPU.
- Fixed Start menu of GT1 in soft mode

Legend Of Legaia
Hi..
i dunno if this thread is still alive or active, but, i just want to know what is the best settings for FPSE to obtain he best graphics without suffering lagginess. i am playing Legend Of Legaia on my stock Nexus 7 2012 and when i use the OpenGL plugin, yes, there is a graphics improvement. Vahn's hair is not soo messed up and pixellated..but when i get into fight scenes the game stutters and lags esp when using arts (attacks) with my characters and kinda framerate drops..but when i don't use openGL, framerate is alright but graphics are cappy..legend of legaia does still look cool on PS1..but i never imagined it still has a low quality graphics when used in emulators. haha
so I recently got myself an Xperia play for the purpose of doing some awesome classic gaming. The retro GBA, SNES, GENISIS emulators have been working flawlessly so far, and even N64 isn't all that bad.
However, now that I wanna try PSX, a conundrum arises for me.
I can either use FPSE (the unofficial PSX emulator) or the Playstation Pocket (official emulator) by making the custom iso's through my various downloaded backups.
I just wanna know which one has the overall faster and smoother experience and features.
The games that really wanna play are:
FFVII, VIII, IX
Vagrant Story
Metal Gear Solid
Alundra
Gran Turismo 2
GTA 2
Castlevania: SOTN
FPSE is far much better. No problems with games that You have on list. Savestates in any time You want and need (not just one like in psxperia). For me - only one con of psxperia is the fact that iso of CD is packed and takes less memory on storage card.
Wysyłane z mojego R800i za pomocą Tapatalk 2
Some game doesnt work on psxperia... other have problems... but i still use it... fpse is great but kinda slow sometimes...
FF7 looks better on psxperia... FF9 works great except theres no sound in fmv... and theres some text problem in some zone...
The main differences are in compatibility and touchpad support. If you don't use the ICS beta, FPSE doesn't support analog touchpads and this could be somewhat of an annoyance. On the other hand, PSXperia has many many compatibility issues, has only one available savestate. The apks you use in PSXperia are much lighter that isos, though.
PSXperia has a better emulation, but has a lot of problem (for example Vagrant Story with the software rendering freeze during some videos but goes flawlessy, without it has a lot of graphic glitch, but don't freeze) and it is not compatible with all the games, FPSE has a good emulation (the only problem that i have was with Persona 2 Innocent Sin, but it is easy to solve with another emulator like ePSXe), but the graphic quality isn't the same of PSXperia
How can i change format from 16:9 to 4:3 in fpse? I tried "Original Mode" under Video settings with no luck. All games are in 4:3 and not 16:9 like xperia play screen.
On PSXPeria format is correct but games like GranTurismo2(Simulation Disc) don't work.

Oh? GT2 doesnt work with psxperia? did you try sofware mode? cause mine works...
(Simulation Disc only) It starts but when i try to select a car or start to take a licence it closes to homescreen. Software mode when i convert isos or in pspocket settings?
If you are on ICS use FPSE. If on 2.3.3-4 use PSXPerira.
FPSE > PSXPeria
I appreciate what the devs did with PSXperia, but for general compatibilty, ease of of use and features, FPSE is all over it.
