[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

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.

GameBoid

I played Pokemon Zaffiro (the italian version of Pokemon Sapphire) and Jet Set Radio (the GBA spinoff) without any problems with GameBoid 2.4.7 from SlideMe.
What rom have you tested? Did you put the gba bios on your SD Card and loaded in the emulator first?

Yep. Is it really possible for a mobile device to support Xbox games?

i never tried it mate it could be possible since you do not play the game from your phone but think of it as a teamviewer on mobile playing on their cloud service i think it could be possible

Hmmm. Wouldn't that be awesome? Imagine playing God of War 3 on a Blade

Gameboy Emulators with Wiimote Controller
I use Gameboid a fair bit, mostly to relive a bit of pokemon one thing I use more than I expected to is an app called Wiimote Controller, it pairs up a Wii controller via Bluetooth and sets it up as a virtual keyboard.
Didn't think it would work very well but It really makes the games feel a bit more authentic.
It works like a dream with Gameboid on my Blade running CM 7.1 and the app's available on Google Play

This is a great app
I already play Pokemon Fire Red and Emerald. And it work fine just like a real GBA
We can use gameshark with the app
To be perfect only need one thing.....wi-fi conection to play with other devices and change Pokemons xD

Old school retro gaming on Android

I've found a way to play all our retro favourites from the Sega mega drive/genesis and Nintendo SNES era on our android phones.....
first you need "DroidEmu" from the play store, then you need to visit "emuparadise" http://www.emuparadise.me/ and download your game of choice. The games are downloaded in Zip format so they'll need to be extracted before DroidEmu will open them, but most of the files are sub 1mb, so won't take too long to download and extract. DroidEmu may ask you to allow download of extra files in order to play the game.....so far as I can tell, this is to be expected, and should be allowed..........enjoy
Edit......As well as playing Mega drive/Genesis and Nintendo SNES games, DroidEmu will also play games from NES, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Colour and Gamegear consoles.... and as far as I can tell, the extra downloads I mentioned earlier, are "plugins" that allow this app to play games from all the above mentioned diverse consoles.....

Honestly these emulators are better because they aren't meant to do the whole "all in one" and do what they are designed to do.
GBA - My Boy
GBC - GBCoid
SNES - SNESoid
PSX - FPSE
N64 - N64oid
NDS - NDS4droid
PSP - PPSSPP
Dreamcast - NullDC

Normal .iso and .cso files should be able to run and also .pbp which is uses with the PSP's inbuilt PSX emulator. Maybe you got one which is .ccd which cannot run on FPse or any PSX emulator to be honest.

Have you downloaded any of the N64 game to try yet because they work on my phone no problem even when zipped.

I think this thread should be in the "Apps & Themes" forum.

Its more of a discussion about android emus rather than sharing a new app for the phone but whatever my participation goes only as far as suggestions and troubleshooting.

The PSX emulator FPSE is great! Now, I play YugiOh! Forbidden Memories. Such an ancient game! lol :laugh:
