[Q] How to convert double disc playstation games on Psxperia? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to play Resident Evil 2 on my playstation pocket by converting it with psxperia. But the problem is that Resident evil 2 is a double disc game. I thought it wouldn't be a problem but after I converted the first disc and installed it on my play, it refuses to play. First I thought that my original disc of the game was corrupted so I downloaded one from the internet but I still had the same problem. So I thought that maybe I have to convert both of the discs into one. But how can I do this? Is this the right solution?
According to the compatibility list of Psxperia, Resident Evil 2 works perfectly. But I'm sure I'm following the right steps because I successfully converted and installed three other playstation games on my xperia play. The fact that Resident Evil 2 is a double disc, I'm thinking it might be different here?

as i got RE2 to work flawlessly with my play i think you're using the wrong crash bandicoot version for conversion.
i got it to work with the US version without combining the discs. each of them runs kind of a seperate game.
nevertheless i'd like to know how to combine the discs anyway, because of games like ff7 where you have to swap discs mid-game

I would also like to know this information.

I downloaded the rom from another source and after I extracted the zip it looked like this:
Resident evil 2 (disc 1). (track 1).bin 37mb
Resident evil 2 (disc 1). (track 2).bin 642mb
What I did wrong, is that I converted both of this files but you only need to convert the track 2 bin. So it is working now. We are lucky since Resident evil 2 doesn't require for you to put disc 2 during mid game or something. But there must be a way to convert both disc together because you have the "Switch disc" option in the playstation pocket.
Also do you have audio problems? Sometimes the audio in the cutscenes go away and then comes back. I have the same problem with Resident Evil 3. It's a bit annoying and I hope there is a fix for it.

Are you using Adrenobooster? Cause I think that might be the problem. I've heard a couple of people that Adrenobooster can effect gameplay sometimes. I'm going to try it out without adrenobooster.

before i switched to doomkernel i haven't had any problems aswell, so this shouldn't be the issue.
maybe you got unlucky with your isos and they are faulty or your crash bandicoot files are the culprit.
i'd try these before you flash a kernel you probably don't want.

Copy protection, won't work. Gameloft will change the buy system to make it redownloadable later if you have bought it.
milestone(also has powerVR).
Try reinstalling it with your phone in Airplane mode (no WiFi or data connection), launch the app, let it download the data (it will enable the required connection) then you should be away laughing...
Well, it worked for me.

Downloaded earlier today, its a great game, recommend it to anyone, best top down racer on android IMO
Doesn't work on my phone, saying it's not licensed. Apparently I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.
Killed it with ATK, restarted, seems to work now. Downloading additional data...
EDIT2: Pretty good game
It's okay, was hoping that it was more like Ignition.

Delete folder com.polarbit.RecklessRacing in data\data then try to download again.
Servers are just overloaded.
This game is GREAT ! Beautiful and very playable..

i tried to delete that folder that you mention but isnt located anywhere on my phone or sd card.

i installed the game and played it twice, two days ago.
just now i had a look at my battery stats and especially at the sensor usage (see this thread for a howto to access those numbers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817794)
does anybody else experience reckless racing taking up lots of sensor usage even though it's not even running?
Didnt happen to my phone and I played it last night. I have android system on top.

[Q] SamsungApps

I'm not sure if this has been talked about or not.
I tried to search & came up empty.
I recently switched from EC05 Bonsia to CleanGB MTD.
I am trying to put the finishing touches on rebuilding the phone & when I tried to used SamsungApps it wouldn't connect, says no network connection.
Does this program no longer work under Gingerbread?
Or is there a newer version?
I restored a backup from EC05 (I know BAD!!) that's all I had for that app.
Looking at Samsung's site it looks like the Epic is no longer supported.
Anyone have any input
just keep trying, i had the same issue. and it worked on wed.

Thanks, you were right. I had been trying for a few days before I posted & it finally picked up this morning & wanted to update. Now it works fine.
Are you guys getting a bunch of what looks like full games in there but they say for SGSII only? I wonder if there is anyway to get those running...
Does anyone have the apk for the SamsungApps that works for our phone?

Yes, I can see several I'd like to try, but it wil not download them because it says for SGS2 only.
The game is in the market for the Epic so if there is a way to get it to start the download they should work, I would think. Samsung wants everyone to get the new product.
Anyone have any ideas on how to trick the SamsungApps into downloading these?

Ok, got it.....
I pulled the apk out of my phone, I am running CleanGB MTD 1.0.3 & the apk just updated, so it should be current.
I hope this helps ya......
Thanks, I actually had that apk but it wasn't working. So I thought maybe someone had a different one. Turned out I was just being dense and was trying to install it on CM7 and it wasn't working. Once I switched to another ROM it worked. Thanks again!
Angry birds & Seasons, and Riptide are full add free versions.
NFS Shift and Bejewled are 60minute trials (lame). Post if you find any more full titles.
As for the sgs2 games, I'm thinking a build.prop hack might allow those to install but I haven't had time to try yet. Basically just like how a bunch of us got 50gig box accounts for "LG phones"

[Q] 4 Important questions before buy

Hello! Im thinking to buy the Arc I have some questions.
1.Do all 720p formats (mkv,avi,mpg) play smooth?
I guess 1080i files or 1080i youtube wont play smooth right(+hdmi out)?
Should I update to latest fw?
2.If I download .apk games/apps not from the market, will I be able to install them or root is needed (want to keep the warranty for a while)?
3.Are the 320MB internal storage a problem? Maybe for the "install only in internal" apps?
4.Tell me the bad points of the phone (the ones that you find out after a few weeks using it)
Thank you in advance!

1. Most formats play very nicely on device. You will need a third party video player to play mkv,mpg, wmv etc.
2. There is an option, like on all android devices, to install non-market apps without root. I have a unlocked device so I'm not sure if some carriers restrict this option.
3. Internal storage is not a problem for me. 2.3.4 supports move to SD.
4. Bad points are few. WIFI connectivity is tempermental. Some complain about camera but I think it's fine. Some questions about build quality, but performance is impressive for single core processor. I have had both arc and arc s and I have been satisfied with both.
5. This is your first post, welcome to XDA!
Thanx augie7107!
I had an Xperia arc but i moved onto another phone for the following reasons.
-It cannot run a lot of HD games without getting hot or crashing.
-For me the screen was small
-It wasnt fast enough
-The internal memory was a let down, I always got the error about low internal memory. and so i was constantly having to dlete apps.
-The resolution of the screen was not good enough for me.
-The battery life was awful but it did improve a bit, not enough though.
-And lastly i do not think this phone recieves enough support in terms of roms and so on....
This is just my opinion of what i felt the phone was like. Everyone has thier own preferences so you may like the phone just like other people on this forum who own an Xperia arc.

720p will play completely smooth.
But you have to download an app for *.avi, etc.
I'd recommend QQ player.

Do you know "allow unknown sources"?
And I'd recommend to root, you won't avoid your warranty unless you don't unlock your BL.

You could use App2SD or my favourite Link2SD.
I've about 100 apps installed and never run out of memory with Link2SD.

A little bit more RAM for better multitasking would be great.
Some people talk about the heat, but I don't see that as a problem, because it doesn't interfere your daily use.
But I'm really satisfied about it and would it buy every time again.
I have the arc s and i think its very good, but it has a bit too less RAM and when you play it gets hot.

Wow, it gets hot.
Every phone is getting hot, but you just feel it on some devices more.
And it doesn't interfere anything.

Exactly.. It's a cellphone, the hardware doesn't have cooling but have to run (for me) at 1.4 ghz... I cannot pretend that stay cold.. I just think to the performance and for me it's more than I need or can do on a 4.2" screen..

The arc s will get hot when you play hd games, like all the phones... The big difference is that arc is so thin that temperature can be easialy notest...

Spoof device to play Tegra Games?

Hello, I was wondering if t was possible to spoof your device to think it has built in Tegra 3 in order to play Tegra or THD games. We already know that the exynos chip can handle them and modded versions of Dead Trigger is proof.
I saw threads that said you can spoof the build.prop in order for the Google Play store to download or view them, but i do not know if the games will actually work.
Any tips/suggestions?
Thanks.
I'd love to know. I've purchased several terga apps which I can't use now... Never again. I'll stick with universal apps from now on.
I know that theres chainfire3d but that only tricks the apps into thinking its Tegra 2 processor so not all thd games will work. Unfortunately Chainfire has stopped developing this mod a while back, which really sucks.

Do NOT try to use Chainfire's app on your Note 2. It does NOT work and is quite likely to bugger up your device.

Yea I forgot to mention that..I think there is a possible way to do it but if your new chances are youll end up messing the phone like youve mentioned. First time I tried it on my note 2 it got stuck in a boot loop and I had to do a nand restore and after that didnt even want to consider giving it another try.

Chain fire doesn't work on ICS and jelly bean. ..don't use it
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
When i first got my GN2 in December, the first thing i did was Root>Chainfire 3D. I spent the entire day trying to figure out why my phone wouldnt turn on then i was told i needed to reinstall my stock rock and chainfire was broken.
The only THD game that "worked" for me without modding anything was Sonic 4 Ep II. The menu was all black but i could still start the game and once started i could see all the 3D graphics etc., except they had no color and the background was black which made it unplayable.
