Psx4droid updated

[jdaud]

Just letting everyone know there is an update in the market. I haven't played around with it yet so let's post our findings

 

[Mass Zero]

Ever since the update my list of PSX images went blank. All I see is a ROM Buddy advertisement in the list, now. :/ The images are still on my SD card and I can see them through the file manager, but even clicking on them from there doesn't work anymore, the prompt shows there's no apps available for running the file.

Am I the only one with this problem?

New update is out, v1.3 which seems to have fixed a lot of things. Compatibility as still in and thue speed is back but i havent tried it yet. Updating from 1.2 at the moment

 

[slighmd]

Ok updated to 1.3 and looks like it's broken. Some games no longer start, like FF9. others still work but are definitely slower like FF7 and RE2

I sadly have no faith in this project anymore

wish i didn't update. now i'm stuck with this version and i have to wait for the next one. And considering the time from 1.1 to 1.3, which was around 2months i think..

Both 1.2 and 1.3 are BIG steps back for me:

1. All games are slower
2. Hot Shots Golf 2 does not work now
3. Crash Racing graphics messed up and unplayable

Same for all games I tried that play good on 1.1. All slower, some have messed up graphics and others do not work past menus. Failed update.

It seems like the dev tried to make one or two games work better (Final Fantasy games?), but made most others play bad now. I reverted back to 1.1, since FAR better than the two updates. No comparison for any game I tried.

Can't you just revert back to 1.1?

Actually the Final Fantasy games are slow as hell, too...

As for what I mentioned before, the blank file list, that only seems to be the case in 1.2.

While I agree that some game seem to be broken after the update:

Grand Tourismo 2: corrupt car graphic
War Craft 2: Game stuck on mission loading menu

Other game seem to have gone from broken to working also:

X-Com UFO: no longer randomly freezes every 2 minute
Diablo: Dungeon graphic no longer glitches.

Also for a few games like GT2 and FF7, there is no longer static sound in the in game music.

So there is some improvement to the update. Hope the developer will fix the speed slow down and broken game issue soon.

PS: anyone try metal gear solid yet after the update?

Gosh everybody wake up! V1.5 is out!
Pls post compatibility.. Quick!

 

[hydralisk]

Geez. It was 1.3 2 days ago. 1.4 yesterday. Now 1.5. I'll just go read the comments to see how slow THIS update is

Would love to see Symphony of the Night (a 2D side scroller....) running at full speed. Especially on a phone with a beastly GPU like the Epic.

Sweet guys, 1.5 fixes all the slowdowns

On Tuesday 5th October 2010, @zodttd said:

psx4droid v1.5 released. Changelog:
- Major bugfix release to v1.4. Should be as fast/faster than v1.1 with all the compatibility updates included.
- Fixed a mistake made in cycle counting / timings that made many games slow down to a crawl.
- Sound rendering has been tweaked to give as high of quality playback possible while still maintaining performance.
- Save states from previous versions should work fine, though you may encounter sound playing back too fast.

Edit: "Ruunning into performance issues with psx4droid v1.5? Instead of using old version's save states, load the game fresh or from a memory card."

 

[hydralisk]

Nope. Symphony of the night still runs REAAAAALLY slow on the fastest android phone to date. At a few points, it seems to go into super speed. I don't see it being anywhere close to a PSX emulator on PC any time soon.

Not for me. NF3 is way slower still.

 

[kcbates85]

How do you load cheats in this emulator? Is that possible? I don't want to spend earned JP in FFTACTICS...

 

[Lukehluke]

I think they need to carry on working on it as its still a bit slow.

 

[RideZeLitenin]

Anyone know if Symphony of the Night works from experience?

 

[andreiuc88]

Has anyone been able to play NFS High Stakes on Android? I have a lot of roms, but none of it works...

Im interested in chrono cross and JUST chrono cross. I would love to have a couple other games but if that one works, you might as well kiss my battery life and normal life goodbye.

I know a while back (About 3 or 4 months ago) It was working but the sound was kinda screwy and somethings didnt work. Does anyone know if this emulator is a bit more solid? I would be more than willing to fork over the cash if it works real well.
