[jirka.h23]

If the phone does not have multi touch will the dpad not work?

if you upgrade to 2.2 froyo, then multi-touch should work

Anyone using psxdroid on X10? i'm really having problems with the dpad

Having issues with ff8.

It has run acceptably well so far, I am at the beginning of disc 2. Currently at a part with an infamous glitch, the deck glitch. Right after an fmv plays, you are supposed to walk inside through a door. The glitch is that the door wont open, leaving you stuck. Various other emulators you simply have to mess around with the settings to get it to work, while mashing the open button. Not working at all with this emulator sadly.

The only thing I can think of doing is somehow using an emulator on my pc and making a new save, then transferring it over. I have no idea if there will be compatibility issues however. Could I please get some help here? I've put many hours into this game, really dont want to give up now.

I should note that I can get actual saves to work using epsxe, but theres a problem with this. My last real save is way back on disc 1. I've been using save states only for the entirety of disc 2. How would I go about getting these save states to work in epsxe as well, or another emulator?

Save states are emulator specific so they will not work, however your memory cards inside of the .psx4droid directory on your phone are not. You can load from a memory card save for that issue and then save it and xfer the memory card back and load on your phone

I beat FF8 and did not run into that issue on my phone so you can try a few other things as well

Check out

AndroidEmus - AndroidEmus I have a thread there which lists how to make CDDA glitches and freezes work better. I am not for sure but this glitch may be attributable to that and if so this may help you.

Also you can email me your save state and I can see if I can get past that part on my game.

It could also just mean you need to turn your cycle multipler down to 2, but the cycle multiplier is saved into your save state so you would need to load from memory card.

 

[Trev186]

Final Doom This game now boots if you do what i recommend in the CDDA setup guide. The game runs full speed on default settings with CDDA enabled. The only issue is some graphical bugs (see through some walls) Besides that the game seems very playable. Hopefully with future releases and tweaks to CDDA related settings this game will improve

For the CDDA guide see androidemus.com

Ok maybe people on here can help me out

I have been going crazy trying to download the PSX games I want and make them work.
I have PSX4droid and I have the sch1001.bin already and Have downloaded different desctruction derbys which I have converted into bin files and still are not working. This is really pissing me off since this is one of the games I wanted very bad to work.

When I downloaded them they came in .7z format. I used pakIso to turn them into Bin files and was finally happy when I saw this. Then I loaded the Folder into my PSX file and nothing it didnt even show up which makes no sense.

Does anyone know of a good .7z converter I can get that will convert these files into bin files.
And does anyone know why Destruction derby isnt working or any of these roms not working if its in the proper bin file. It just starts and nothing happens.

.7z is a compressing method. You can just unzip the archive using 7Zip, then you can read the file right away.
Think of it as vowing clothes, then putting them in a tight box so it takes up less space in your car. Except after it, you have to open the box and get it out.

On a side note, you should get FPse as a PS1 emulator. It's MUCH faster then PSX4Droid, and way better supported.

Ok thanks thats a better description but I have been using 7zip and it hasnt been working. When I try to convert any of these file they will have a folder with the .bin files and when I transfer them into my phone they stay as unzippee files with the folder inside. Iam going to definitley down load that Psx emulator just didnt think there was another one. Also does that one also need the Ispc1001.bin file for it to work.

I just installed it and it says its only used for games that you have and create ISO files from them. Not for roms. Is there way to use roms.

 

[Therev29]

you have to unzip the .7zip file with 7zip or winzip etc.. first, then take the game file inside and see what format it is. If .bin you should be good to go and transfer to your phone and play. if you see .ecm in the file name then get a unecm converter. There are detailed instructions in the help section of PSX4droid for the unecm part

Yeah I have done all of that abd on the Fspe the Iso didnt work at which is strange since its the firsy format they have on there. So I tried it with .bin and it worked until it loads the gaming part and wont get past that screeb. So I than tried putting that same file in the psx4droid and it actually worked problem is the choosing menu stays with a messed up discolored picture where you see what you are choosing whichs no sense its very frustrating.

I have an HTC Evo Shift and it doesn't seem to be included on the compatability list. So I will say that

Final Fantasy VII : Works, but runs at lik 75-80% during battles. And the music/sounds slow down during battle.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Works so far.

Metal Slug X: Never makes it past initial loading screen.

Lunar Silver Star Story Complete: Works well, some graphic issues of spells not fully displaying. Slight popping during Spoken FMV sequences.

Since no one else has mentioned their settings and I think those are quite important I will include them on my post.

Psx4droid v2;
-SPU IRQ's enabled
-Divide Counters Enabled
-Cycle Multiplier (set to 4 for FF7/FFT and 6 for Lunar)
-Precise CDROM is disabled
-Sound is Enabled
-Scaling is set to scaled (tried other setting and none seemed to chanhge performance.)
-Refresh rate is set to 30 (tried Automatic and 60 and no change)

 

[Zany-88]

you can use IceTea to compress the iso or bin files to eboot files. i hear this also make some games work a little better. sometimes it will compress it down to half size

download it here
IceTea v1.3

idk y but this program does not work with me i d/l but once i click to browse for a file nothing comes up

 

[Therev29]

When the select screen comes up there should be a pulldown menu to look for eit
her .ISO or .img or .bin depending on your games format

hey guys. I've only recently gotten into Android and have an HTC Desire HD and I'm using it to play roms etc, I've got loads of great working roms on Gearoid and Gensoid but on PSX4droid I'm having some problems with one particular rom. So far I've managed to get Driver, Abes Oddysee, Wipeout to work fine and even had Metal Gear Solid working allright apart from some graphical and control glitches.

Unfortunately I can't get Rollcage to work. I downloaded the files from dope roms and managed to extract etc using a newer version of unpakiso which the incredibly helpful pushwall provided me with and the game will run, I see the developer logos, the intro movie, the rollcage screen and loading bar, then it says its checking memory cards and it crashes. This happens everytime.

Does anyone else have this problem with Rollcage? I have re downloaded and unpaked etc 3 or 4 times and always the same result. Any suggestions?

Thanks

forgot to mention that I am in the UK, running android 2.2 (Still goddamn you ORANGE!!) and have upgraded to PSX4Droid version 3.0.6. thanks

If you are interested in following my compatiability list I will now be posting it on Zodttd's new developer site. The link to my list on his forums is below

Compatibility List by Trev 186


I will still monitor this forum but not as much. if you are interested in PSX4droid I recommend saving that site because Zodttd and Yongzh will be more active there.

Seems the link is broken. Zodttd moved somewhere else?
Btw. I am trying to run Syphon filter on my HTC Desire HD 2.3.3, psx4droid 3.0.6, doesnt seem to work. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[rapidsman101]

could someone tell me if the incredible is good enough for play-station and 64 emulator's?

i plan on getting cricket with mine so i believe it limit's my options? is this the best to get ? this will be my first phone in 5 year's

theres to much to cover sorry i didnt search much.

 

[Gareee]

You are looking at buying a phone that is a year old tech. Yes, you can play some psx stuf, but there will be slowdown on many games.. plus psx4droid is the worst psx emulator for the phones now, and all emulators were pulled off the market a few weeks ago.

If you plan on keping a smartphone for another 5 years, you would be better advised to buy something newer and faster, possibly with a larger screen. Looks for something with a dual core processor, and larger screen. You'll also want an extended battery, because large screens suck battery life like mad.

The incredible will play most psx games no problem. There may be a few with minor slow downs for the more "advanced" graphic games. N64 is ok for a few games, Mario and Mario kart, most other games lag a decent amount, hopefully there will be an update soon.

As the above post stated, the newer phones will run much better. The cores doesn't really matter to much. There was a recent test which showed the new snapdragons 1.2 single cores being faster than the nvidia dual cores but both will work good for what you want. Also see if the phone has a dedicated gpu. Most of the tegra 2 duals from nvidia do (I think). That will be the biggest boost or difference you'll see.

 

[rapidsman101]

so other then the droid 1-2 and the htc droid incredible and the sony xpeliea phone and the galaxy s / indugle. what are my options?

researched it a bit and these phones seem to the best options?

i wonder if the new htc trophey can be flashed to cricket. or even the xeplia i have not heard any of them on cricket yet?

just trying to see what's the cheapest and best option. i'l end up playing mario kart golden eye and game boy games alot!

so if someone cal list all the phones that i can use on cricket but good enough for what i want

when the motorola q came out i had the extended battery and every emulator lol played it all day at work lol

thanks for all the advice so far

 

[Gareee]

The droidx, the droid x2, the droid pro, the fascinate, the thunderbolt, the infuse, the bionic.

There is no cheapest best option.. all the cheapest phones are a year old, and all the best phones are new and obviously expensive.

We love our droidX phones, but I can see that having a front facing camera, a faster processor, and full video out hmdi mirroring would be great additions.

(Imagine playing the emulator on your 50" flatscreen tv, using a wii controller, and your phone doing the emulation.)

And honestly, even though I have most of the various emulators, I always end up going back to native android based games for entertainment on my phone.. that or web browsing, or youtube. I don't think I've even started up any emulator in the past 4 weeks now.

 

[Therev29]

Well if you are going to mainly game the the xplay would be the way to go. You may want to check which emulators support the button mapping on the xplays controls. Golden eye lags unbearably on the incredible. if your up to rooting and a custom kernel the incredible can support 3+ points of touch. I.e. power sliding inMario Kart

 

[rapidsman101]

thanks for the feed back. i don't think i'l game so much where i'm going to need the sony xpelia that is little to much. but when ever i'm on the bus or in place like the bar with friends who dance im the one who chills. so thats when i would emulate n use it to get ladies .

so what would you guys suggest? i'm not really looking to spend over 250 on a phone.
i can get a incredible for 225 flashed to cricket ready to go...

but then i see on ebay i can just pick it up for 150 ish bucks and pay someone 45 to flash it. or i can probably do it my self since there's alot of support im sure i could get it.

remember i want phone that will work on cricket...

 

[mina 13]

Hi guys, just installed epsxe on my brand new Samsung Galaxy tab 4 and am, I'm trying out some psx rooms, I've tried a few bit one I can't get to run is Soviet Strike. It loads up and goes through the intro screens and video but then freezes when the mission briefing comes up before the game starts. Is it the emulator? I've tried two different rooms and us exactly the same. Is there a better emulator I can try?.. Any help with this will be very much appreciated, thanks in advance guys
