Versions 1-2 of PSX4 Droid were great. But around v2 the PSPlay was released and Sony had PSX4droid removed. After a period of time v3 of PSX was released but it never worked, neither did v4. This was becuase Sony didn't allow certain thinks to be in PSX4droid. There was never a working update for our phone (as far as I know). So is there a way we can play PSX games on out phone? And was there a working update for our phone?

Hey guys,
I'm considering getting an Xperia Play as my daily driver and using my Samsung Infuse as my "GalaxyS Touch", but I was wondering if a couple games are available.
Has anybody seen the Tony Hawk games available for this? How about Spyro? Ridge Racer Type 4? also, can the game buttons be mapped in NESoid? Aaaand my last question, is it possible to load your own PS1 games onto the device? I'm sorry if some of these questions have already been asked. I did use the search function first, seriously!
As of now the only PS1 game out in the US is Crash Bandicoot which comes with it. There have been some other releases that show on the Android market but can't be downloaded unless your phone is rooted.

That said, you can convert many PS1 games as long as you have the disc to work with the phone using this method, its free:

I believe people are using the control pad with the "oid" emulators as well.
After switching to the new nordic ROM, gameboid and n64oid won't play any games.
When I select a game to play, I just get a black screen and have to force close them. I used the exact same versions back on 2.3.3 UK, and everything had been running fine.
I read that psxperia doesn't work after the update as well.
Is it just me or is anyone else having this problem? I was thinking Sony Ericsson might be trying to block the emus.

Yes, I have tried the 2.3.4 (Generic Nordic R800i 4.0.1.A.0.283 (1247-6212) and the PlayStation Pocket just can't play any games with the "psxperia-1.0" converted games, I have to go back to 2.3.3 and it just works all fine.
for me ,GBCoid and N64oid all work pefectly.FPSE runs very sluggish now thoughh
PSXperia doesnt work.
And it also could because you cant overcook your CPU with the STOCKERNEL ,hence the run sluggier
I've tried everything to get emulators for retro games such as sonic for the sega to run smoothly and with perfect sound. But it wont work. This isnt just for sonic its for any game in snes, gba or sega. I even overclocked the Play to 1.4 GHZ amnd the effects are exactly the same i bet i could overclo9ck to 5ghz and it would still stutter.
Does anyone have a clue about what the heck is going on with this Play? Videos show these games running full speed 200% on youtube. No other users have reported anything similar to my issues either.
Why is it important? I bought the play as an emulation machine not as a phone.
EDIT: Not to mention i now have an unknown baseband in the process... lol
Try to Re-flash using Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS)...
You can no longer find this software from Sony website but is accesible through third-party download centres such as Megaupload and Rapidshare.

Agreed, it sounds like a bad flash or something TBH.
Just used the flashtool and im back on 3.0 and baseband working again, but still emulator issue as before. Im in the process of doing an OTA to still keep the root which i did, rather than what i did before using the pc tool it removed root.
Is there any pointers for where i can get this SEUS like what version? How it works what files needed etc?
Thanks
Rather than hi jack the MIUI thread
I get the same crackling sound on mine, although I don't have any visual lag whatsoever. Prolly just the youtube quality, but I dont see it in your vid either.
As for the sound, that's the emulators fault. The -oid series have done that for me on both my phones, with varying degrees depending on which emu. However I just tried an alternate genesis app (genplusdroid), and it's a whole different ball game. I think it's running a tad slow, but zero crackling in the sound, unlike gensoid.
I'd try some different emulators
A genplusdroid i'll have to check it out. Somone recomended that supergnes is good fro snes and it is its better than snesoid.
supergnes - runs well on the play
genplusdroid - seems to run well on the play with no stuttering
n64oid - runs without stuttering at accaptable levels
Hmhm i wonder how these things will run on MIUI on the play.
Since MIUI is based on CM7, it will run the same as that, which should be just fine.
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
sent from my Xperia PLAY using XDA Premium
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.
Hi,
about a year ago I had Xperia Play R800i white color. I broke my touch screen so buy new one - orange color, newer model, but still R800i. And when I'm trying to play games that I played in past on my old Xplay like Modern Combat 2, Backstab, FIFA 12, Real Racing 2 etc. in Google Play it says it's incompatible with my device. If I download it myself from internet (cause I can't install them from Play Store even if I bought them in the past cause incompatibility) some of them work (Real Racing 2) but many of them still not - FIFA 12, Modern Combat 2. I'm using Gin2Kittkat 3.2.0 and .79 baseband, Lupus kernel v12 720p. Have someone the same problem? Especially games from Gameloft aren't compatible - mainly these which have even bee Xplay optimized. Newer games and games which are not optimized for XPlay i can run well.
This is so annoying - I should have backed up the compatible APKs for thoses apps. There are many apps which were compatible with our Play, but aren't anymore :
- Feedly,
- Evernote,
- Lara Croft Guardian of light,
- Sonic episode 2
- Super Monkey Ball (crash)
- Wayward Soul (crash)
- Galaxy on fire 2 (data cannot be downloaded anymore...)
If anyone could share the compatible APK of those apps (that I bought !), would be greatly appreciated !
Just type into Google search: name of the app + apk version history. Most of the apps can be downloaded on apk4fun, which is in most of cases the first link when you search for some old apk. There are plenty of apps which aren't compatible anymore. It's sad but Xperia play and Gingerbread are too much old. Subway surfers, Jetpack Joyride, Gangstar Vegas and many other games were compiled for 2.3 and runned well in the past. Onenote, feedly, Mapy.cz (I'm from Czech Republic and this is the best map for Europe), Es file Explorer and plenty others were compatible. Nowadays aren't. You have two choices: upgrade to at least Jellybean (last with gamepad support) or stick with the old apps version until death of your phone.
