[Q] Playstation Pocket

Hi and good day to all
(this is my 1st post actually)
just got the Xperia Play last week and just sold my old galaxy5 .. been browsing the forums and upgraded it to the latest firmware and kernel(thanks Mr DoomLord!)..
that's why it also inspired me to create an account and be a part of this forum rather than lurking.. anyway,
I saw some games for the xperia play and its all great but
I'm not quite familiar with the playstation pocket feature.. and the're also what they call FPSE and Psx4Droid, and cant seem to understand how to use them or which to use, right now im just playing the stock Crash Bandicoot shipped with it.
Can someone advice what's best to use or the easiest to setup because Ive tried to check those emulators and got me all confused with mixed opinions from people on other forums..
Thank you very much for your time

Ok Playstation pocket is and app that list's all your bought "official" playstation games. If you launch the app and click on the search icon, a list of all available games to buy will be listed although there are not many yet.
Both psx4droid and FPse are playstation emulators. FPse is by far the more superior of these applications, I am yet to find a game that dosent run pretty perfectly on FPse. To use these emulators legally, you need to first rip the bios from your PS1 into .bin format, then rip any game you wish to play into .iso/.bin/.cue/ect.

Thanks Androhero!
Okay! Will try FPSE!
Is there already a free downloadable links for this?
I'm excited to play FF7 and MGS1 ! Thanks!

[Q] Wonders from a newbie

Hi!
I have been playing a lot of emulators on PC during the years. But is right now thinking of buying an Xperia Play, because I understand that it´s quite a nice phone. It´s on quite a sale in scandinavia right now, so I might be getting one during the week.
I would however like some input for some questions, and would be thankful if someone would take their time to answer them for me.
1. I have problems finding a reliable compatibility list for PSX-gaming. Three of the games that I really itch to play are "Alundra", "Final Fantasy Tactics" and "Legend of Mana". Can someone please enlighten me how these games will run on a Xperia Play?
2. I also have a question about other emulators. Will SNES & Genesis-emulators run lag-free on an Xperia Play?
Thank you for reading (and maybe answering) .

The Xperia Play is really awesome for playing games in emulators. The only problem is that most of them don't support the touchpad.
These are the emulators I've tried:
NESoid
SNESoid - completely lag-free, to answer your question
N64oid (sometimes a bit laggy)
GBCoid - gameboy color emulator
GameBoid - GBA emulator
FPse - PSX emulator
Unfortunately neither of these support the touchpad. And for PSX games I actually prefer FPse to the official PSX emulator that comes with the Play, because, while the official one supports the touchpad (very nicely, might I add), it is a bit buggy with most games that aren't available officially for it.

not sure about genesis as i haven't tried it yet. snes is no problem as is gameboy/advance/colour. on the psx side of things, you could try fpse or psxdroid for emulators. you would need the roms for those games you want as well as the bios file. or, you could also convert the roms of those games to work via the play's playstation pocket app. the pre-installed crash bandicoot game will give you an idea of how smooth it is once converted using the psxperia tool.

This is a magnificent device for emulators. Nuff said

I have emulators for Yongzhi's emulators for:
-Gameboid - GamBoy Advance
-SNEWSoid - Super Nintendo
-Gensoid - Genesis
-FPse - PSX
-N64oid - N64
And they all work flawlessly and are availble at the SlideMe market for FREE except for the N64 and PSX emulators. The PSX emulator is avaible on the Android Market and works on a lot of games but of course not all of them. I would suggest you visit the FSpe forum to find out which specific games work for the Play.
The N64 emulator is available from the SlideMe market for I think 2 bucks. I works okay with some games but is still be updated. Also u can try the open source one but I forget what it's called. I think it's on the XDA forum somewhere.

you can also use sony's psone emu. but you need psxperia tool first which i'll post a link later

also FPSE for psone and for SNES, Snes9x EX is available for free from http://www.explusalpha.com/home/snes9x-ex/downloads

not sure if ScummVM can be considered to be an emulator, but if you are (or were) a fan of good old lucas arts classic adventures like indiana jones, full throttle or day of the tentacle then this is a must-have!

Mupen64plus is a decent N64 emulator, and it's optimised for the Xperia Play. You can grab it from this thread.

[Q] Best PS1 Emulator for Xperia PLAY?

I know that some people recommend PSXPeria for Gingerbread, but after looking through the compatibility list, I can see there aren't too many games that are compatible with it, such as some of my personal favorites - Harry Potter 1 & 2, and Spyro 3 (SP3 works, but voices cut off, and it's annoying).
Does FPse solve most of these problems? Or has PSXPeria been long updated since that list?
I've seen some people recommend FPse for ICS,but I don't have that.
Lastly, is there a way to get the touch pads to work with FPse? I think they already work with PSXPeria, correct me if I'm wrong.
Any tips?

hmm i think i could use toutchpad's at fpse. Hmm did you try ePSXe ? If not you should try.

fpse uses touchpads. It works wonders

fpse/ePSXe

Both work with touchpads. fpse from what I can tell is more general support where epsxe is a bit more accurate.

for me fpse is best ps1 emulator

suggestions For Emulator

Any suggestions for a program to use/play game roms??

Like a PS3 or NES? There are a few in the play store, so hang on and someone will advise. My games are old pc DOS games so I use DosBox.

NES, Snes, genesis. I have the game zips downloaded just need something to run them.

I checked the android market (Google play) and saw lots of them.

Do you use any specific one?

I don't play enough games. I really should but I'm still feeling guilty about all those wasted hours playing Doom, Quake, and a few other time bandits.
You have your games on your SD card.
So, just grab the app with the most stars and try it. I for one would like to know what you learn.

Ok
