Since the xperia can't be hacked, What are some good emulators that currently exist in the android market place?

Would the emulators or any existing game work with xperia play controls or would they have to rewrite it for xperia play?

1. it can be hacked, all sony phones so far have been

2. pretty much any gba, snes, or ps1 emulators are good and get the job done :)

3. I'm pretty sure you can button map with what ever device you have

also where are you going to get the playstation games from?? same place like the pspgo??
does any one know whne the official UK launch is and how much it is going to be either payg or sim free??

you'll be able to buy them from the store they include and then later on the PS Store and PS Suite. No I do not know when the UK launch is and neither do I know the price.
