[Q] How to convert psxperia game saves to FPSE? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this has been answered in the past but I can't seem to find the thread in which it was answered. Simply doing this due to fpse running some game better than psxperia can and me having saves but not apks of some psxperia games.

Bump - changed title as it was implying something completely different to what I needed .

Find the memcard file for psxperia. It should be called something .raw, rename it to .mcd and copy it the location of the FPSE memcards

Thanks for replying didn't notice until today

The most recent consoles you'll be able to emulate are the PS1 and N64. Anything newer there is not an emulator for and I doubt there will be for a long time (and certainly not for the Epic.)

Ps1 ran FF7. That'd be fine. Nintendo & Super Nintendo would also be great.
I use FPse for PS1 roms, there's a program called ECM Tools that will help you convert certain game roms into the file type(s) you need to run the image on Android.
I've put SNESoid on my girlfriends phone, she has been playing Super Mario World, Super Mario RPG and A Link to the Past, all without problems.
Both emulators feature save states, you will need a BIOs file for FPse but all you have to do is google the BIOs file mentioned when first booting up the app.
There are emulators for every system you listed accept for ps2 (a tad bit over board for our hardware ) psx4droid ver 3.0.0.6 is the newest ps emulator and n64droid 1.0..4 is the newest for n64. However all of these were recently pulled from the android market. Their developer yongzh has been giving them away for free since just google for the apk. Make sure you have the latest!

Explain these two portions a bit, please.
And btw all the ps1 final fantasys run well on psx4droid 3. I prefer IX (on disc 3 now with only a few hiccups)

He uses another ps emulator fpse. Personally, final fantasy IX looked a whole lot nice for me on psx4droid with way less pixelation. The secnd part is about the saving system which is independent of the consoles emulated memory cards an takes a snapshot at any point you like which you can load later. Like an old school gameshark.

I use FPse for PS1 roms, there's a program called ECM Tools that will help you convert certain game roms into the file type(s) you need to run the image on Android.​ -- Google ECM Tools and there'll be a website called Emuparadise, one of the first results. Just check out that page, there's a download link and a brief explanation of what the program does and how to use it (it's as simple as drag-and-drop).
If you download a game image and the files include a .bin or .iso or .img file, those are all good to go without any preparation. (Also wanna mention that the SNES emulator doesn't require anything like this, it's just for PSX games.)
Both emulators feature save states, you will need a BIOs file for FPse but all you have to do is google the BIOs file mentioned when first booting up the app.​ -- Save states are used as an alternative to the games native save file system. You can save whenever you want and load from that point. The BIOs file for FPse is named SCPH1001.bin, just pop that into Google as well and you'll find it no problem.
Edit: As being mentioned above, psx4droid is an option as well. I had lag issues with a few games while running psx4droid (primarily with the games that came around later in the PSX lifespan) which I havn't had with FPse. There have been a few games where I've noticed graphical faults within FPse, Breath of Fire III had some transparency issues...can't really think of anything else worth mentioning. I had a few roms that didn't work but I've managed to find other versions to try out and have gotten everything to work so far that I've wanted to get working.
I'd try them both out and see which works best for you.

And just let me say that in no way was I dissing fpse. It is most definitely the "faster" of the two.. and has better compatibility overall. But you mentioned final fantasy and I have to mention that I tested ffix on both and px4droid (the newest one, I haven't had much success with anything older than 3.0) just was better for that game. Plus it supports antialiasing which I really notice on this small screen in comparison to a computer monitor. Anyway happy gaming, PM me if you have any emu questions.. btw food for thought- anybody think once we get some quad core action going on in android we might be able to get a pcsx2 port going? That would be sweet.

[Q] Available PS1 games for Xperia Play?

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.

[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
~nooj
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] 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

[Q] any type of way to get something like PSXPeria working on ics?

i really miss ps1 support on ics, and i hate sacrificing one thing for another just to get ps1 support. upgrading downgrading i want to be on ics with ps1 support and lets NOT discuss ps1 emulators like fpse or other because the xperia play Cant really handle that. The ps1 support is not gone from ICS, if you put the crash game on the gb ver it still works but our old PSXPeria method has been patched.
i have a bunch of my ps1 disks that i would love to put on my xperia NO EMULATORS. Any ideas?

Uh, have you ever even tried an emulator? epsxe works great on my Xperia play, and that was at 1ghz before I installed custom ROM. Hardly any slowdowns in any of the games with 0 frameskip. I'm sure with overclocking it would be perfect.
no matter how many time i rack my brains or loose sleep over trying to config those damn emulators i can NEVER get it to run in full speed. (Not yelling at you btw lol)
i only get about 20-30 fps maybe
but im currently trying fpse, if you have this can you please upload the config file (Backed up through menu)
or do you think or recommend epsxe more?
maybe also backup config files?
Sorry I don't have much experience with fpse. I definitely recommend epsxe. I can post my config file later on when I have some time.
You may also try Retroarch. I tried it because it sounds great in theory, especially because it is free, but I found the implementation to be very poor and a pain and the ass to configure and use at all.. So I broke down and went with epsxe
Flash gingerbread. There is no way to get it workin on ics. I tryed for a very long time tried to replicate what yifanlu did on gingerbread but its past my knowhow. Maybe you could try resigning it to ics but you will propably get parsing error
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I was gonna add is, why not dual boot to GB as well? But anyway, send me a PM if you still want the epsxe config file (I might not check this thread), but then I'll post it in the thread when you remind me.
yea i had no choice but to downgrade but my phone is breaking down with every flash and i just did it again:crying: im not supposed to flash back to GB on my phone because it dosent work correctly anymore.
Downgrading to GB gets me this,
auto rotation animation broken
720p recording broken
both unfix able errors no matter what kernel i use
theres no real explanation on why these happen but i believe that my xperia play is breaking down, and i still fave to flash back and forth form ics to use my camera!
