I would just like to add that MX Player has played all my 720p content including 720p Haruhi Suzumiya

Thanks a lot for your testing!
It looks like this tab is a real champ for video along with the 7.7 which is the same but clocked a bit higher.

Psx4droid Compatibility List for HTC Evo

Let's see how this works out. The other thread on psx4droid seems to be a bit cluttered, so I thought it would make sense to create a thread that's nothing but a list of the games that do and do NOT work with the current version of the application. If this works out, great. If it gets locked due to being unnecessary, that's fine too .
If you want to contribute, simply list the game you tried, including the refresh rate(s), whether you're overclocked or running a custom ROM, and whether you have sound enabled, because sound does make a difference.
COMPATIBILITY LIST (in alphabetical order)
Arc the Lad - Runs under default/30/40/50/60 refresh rate, some minor slowdown and distorted audio. Running CyanogenMod 6.
Breath of Fire IV - Runs under 30 refresh rate, but 20-30 minutes in the player hits an invisible wall and is unable to proceed. Running CyanogenMod 6.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Runs poorly under Default/30/40/50/60 refresh rate.
Colony Wars: Vengence - Does not boot, leads to a black screen. Running Damage Control 3.5.
Cool Boarders 3 - Runs under 50 refresh rate, runs well but sound is screwed up. Running Fresh 1.0.1, no overclock.
Crash Bandicoot - Runs under Default/30/40/50/60 refresh rate, audio is pretty choppy, game lags less than the sequels. Easily playable, though. Running Fresh 1.01, no overclock.
Crash Bandicoot 2 - Runs under Default/30/40/50/60 refresh rate, audio is pretty choppy, game lags enough to be annoying. Easily playable, though. Running Fresh 1.01, no overclock.
Crash Bandicoot Warped! - Runs under Default/30/40/50/60 refresh rate, audio is pretty choppy, game lags enough to be annoying. Easily playable, though. Running Fresh 1.01, no overclock.
Chrono Cross - Runs under Default/30/40/50/60 refresh rate, very inconsistent, poor audio reproduction.
Diablo - Runs under Default/30/40/50/60 refresh rate. Running Fresh (1.0.1?) with custom godmode kernel and CyanogenMod 6.

Einhander - Works under 30 refresh rate, sound pops a bit. Running CyanogenMod 6, overclocked to 1152 Mhz.

Frogger - Works under Default/30/40/50/60 refresh rate, sound is choppy under any setting, game runs smoother with audio disabled. Running Fresh 1.0.1, no overclock.

Reserved in case something wacky happens...
Diablo eboot works till you reach dungeon then lines and crash, evo fresh custom godmode kernel and all refresh rates
On DC 3.2...
Gran Turismo 2 (arcade disc) works well. Some minor sound bugs and slowdown at times, but is playable. Haven't tried on FroYo.
EDIT 1: Tried under 30/40/50 refresh rates, doesn't seem to make much difference.
EDIT 2: Also probably relevant, using DC compatable netarchy-toastmod 3.7.3c kernel (FPS cap removed).

What refresh rates did you play under? I listed it as working under all the rates for now. Thanks, though .
On DC 3.5:
Colony Wars: Vengence would not boot. Just went to a black screen.
Any word on Metal Gear Solid?
EVO Stock.
Suikoden II - Playable with all refresh rates, sound is distorted, but not a big issue.
Best to get a WIKI going. I got most of the work done by ripping a PSX4PSP wiki from gamerspress, its located HERE: http://psx4droid.wikkii.com/wiki/Compatibility

The PSP is a VERY different mobile device than the Evo. For one, it's got a better GPU (most likely), so it's bound to run more games well. Second of all, Sony released its own Playstation emulator for the PSP, which means that its a core function of that device. You can't just rip a list of compatible games from a device that is supported to play PSX games by the manufacturer and migrate it to a smartphone running software developed by a few people, currently in its first release.

I'm not an idiot. There is no blank wiki available that I could find that had a great deal of PSX games and corresponding information available. I'm working to rip the 'notes' from every game, but leave all other information. Someone should do it, and a wiki allows EVERYONE to do it.

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno is faster than a PSP in raw performance... Though Qualcomm likes to spout off a lot of ****.

The PSP is a machine dedicated to play games. It doesn't matter what it's hardware is.
My PC is a GOD compared to the hardware in a PS3.... yet if there is a PS3 emulator out, my computer wouldn't be able to handle it if the fate of the world depended on it.
Same situation with this phone. It's crappy snapdragon is ill-suited for playing playstation games. A Galaxy S on the other hand probably has no trouble at all. Can't wait til I can buy a Samsung Epic.
Now for some useful information.
ROM: CM6 nightly (7/25) overclocked to 1.13 Ghz
Refresh rate: 40
Final Fantasy Tactics runs very poorly. Sometimes it's smooth... but mostly choppy. I couldn't even bare the opening scene (people talking) in order to actually make it to a fight.
I find this odd because a lot of people said Tactics was playable.
I did some testing myself:
Fresh EVO 1.0.1 with netarchy-toastmod kernel 3.7.3c, stock CPU speed, Epson screen.
GTA2 - 50fps - Playable, Runs great except for the fact all objects, player, and cars are invisible with the iso im using.
Cool Boarders 3 - 50fps - Playable, Runs decent, Sound is screwed up.
Twisted Metal 4 - 50fps - Playable, cannot shoot as no L2 or R2, game only fills top half of screen?!
Tomb Raider III - 50fps - Plays near perfect, sound works.
Driver - 50fps - Perfectly playable, sensitive controls, minor sound skipping.
Final Fantasy VII - 50fps - Runs near perfect, minor fps drops every 30 seconds to 1 min.
The WIKI as a blank slate is done! That took a long time to reformat and remove the PSP info, but it should be worth it.

Wow, that's a pretty big number of games, thanks for the contribution!
Also, regarding Twisted Metal 4, the screen issue can be fixed by going to the options in the main menu and selecting 'Screen orientation'. When you're there, you should see a picture of sweet tooth on a black and white background. Just press the down arrow once, and the screen should calibrate itself perfectly. The lack of L2 and R2 buttons make the game worthless, though.
How can I get this PSX4Droid thing to even work. I keep getting a black screen.
Tested Breath of fire 4. It is quite playable until you reach the part at the cliffs in the beginning. You cant go down the stairs as there is this invisible wall blocking your path. And hence you cannot progress

Have you made several purchases immediately before buying this app? I had that problem twice before, but then I realized that it would authorize just fine if I waited an hour or two before buying.

Some Basic Answers

1. MKV - no support in native player
2. 720p mp4 high profile with AAC audio - excellent playback
3. XVID avi - excellent playback
4. Bluetooth audio - no lag!! very good sound quality (tested with jaybird freedom)
5. PDF files - large graphic intensive textbooks - load fast and scroll smoothly (using native Reader app)
6. Flash support in browser - not good - spotty at best - suspect rumor about flash only on approved "whitelisted" sites may be true - need to test more
Just getting started first hour only with this thing - so far first impression:
Not intuitive at all, high learning curve, but suspect that once familar, will be more capable than comparable Android tablet. Not sure this will sell because I think it will appeal to the more tech savy and confuse less tech capable individuals. So far - I like it.
Where does it seem to fall in the spectrum:
Apple philosophy - walled garden - no freedom - but simple
Microsoft philosophy - too much freedom - confusing to the unfamilar
Android seems to fall somewhere in the middle.
Yeah the lack of MKV is rough. I am hoping somone comes out with a solution soon to take care of that little problem. So far I kind of like mine. A little heavier than I like in a tablet and Win8 is... weird. But still kind of like it.

Little tip - you can convert MKV to MP4 using the free software avidemux in about 2 minutes - then it will play fine on the surface.
No re-encoding of video required - just re-muxes in a new container - same video - re-encode audio to AAC so tegra 3 can handle it with hardware.
In Avidemux:
Open file - may take a minute to load
Video Output field: Chose COPY
Audio Output field: Chose AAC (can also select filter to re-mix to stereo - I usually do that as well)
AVI Muxer field : chose MP4
Thats it
Go to Save and save it with a name of your choice and it will automatically re-mux to MP4 which will play on Surface just fine.
Why is this useful? Handbrake and core i7 - re-encode a two hour movie in 30 to 45 minutes
But if you use Avidemuxer your done in 2 to 5 minutes depending on file size.
Use Avidemux 2.6 or later - its the easiest version
Good tip!
Given that Surface already has hardware support for the codec, writing an app that groks MKV and can pull the video stream out of it to play throughthe native decoder shouldn't be a problem.

Very cool, amazing view of the Earth!
One issue I noticed was when switching between regular and fullscreen view on those youtube videos. Playback wouldn't be smooth, and it tended to jump around (maybe a problem due to your onCreate being called because of an orientation change?) Also, the app shouldn't have an exit button. Check out this video for a (slightly overdramatic) explanation youtube.com/watch?v=631T7B8HOv4.
Thanks, I thought about it myself))
