(Some of you have probably seen my other topic. My apologies for making another, but this seemed like the best option. If a mod reads this, feel free to delete/lock "Issues with FPSe")
**** EDIT - READ ME - *****
I figured out what my problem was. When I downloaded the game, I extracted the archive to get a file called data.bin.ecm. I read something on some forum that you could simply edit the file type so that the file was data.bin. In retrospect, even my minimal knowledge of computers should have realized this really shouldn't work, but I went ahead and did it anyway. Up until just now, I had forgotten I did it. After some reason on a site that I download games from, it mentioned the file was a .ecm and you needed to use a specific program that decompresses it. I downloaded the program, decompressed the .ecm and got a .bin file that worked fine on the emulator.
Now, I just have one question. Whenever I load a game, none of my settings stay saved. I don't need to point it to my BIOS file, but I need to redo all of my assigned input keys. Is there any way for me to get these to load automatically when I start up a game? I'm using the default config load option, but it's still kind of inconvenient.

I went ahead and bought the PSX emulator FPse, but I'm having problems with it. I have the required BIOS (scph1001.bin), have a game with which the file type is supported (.bin) and a game that's supposed to work on my device (Diablo, with the Xperia Play). If I try and load the game, however, the phone stutters for a bit (it opens multiple copies of FPse which I need to close individually) and then does nothing (brings me back to the menu of FPse). Obviously this shouldn't be happening, but I can't figure out why. Stranger still, some games (Ehrgeiz plays, but slowly, and FF Tactics works great) still function perfectly normally.
For settings, I've tried on default as well as turning Mdec acceleration off, fast boosting off, and HLE mode off (this may have been default, I honestly don't remember). I choose the BIOS and save it as my default configuration. Start up the game, and the error occurs. I tried another copy of the game (a .cue file) and the app just closes itself. After this didn't work, I tried disabling sound, and then without sound and frame skip set to 50, and still have nothing. I'm really feeling out of options here. Anyone have any suggestions?
