I figured a detailed guide, with screenshots, step by steps, and tips, would be the best route in helping anyone, who hasn’t already, in getting PSX4Droid up and running to it’s full potential. This guide also includes some basics about emulation so even a beginner should be able to understand and get get this to work for them. Unfortunately to some, it is geared towards that group, so you may only want to scan through if you already understand PSX4Droid. You will see that some aspects can take a lot of steps or trial and error before you get the outcome you want. If you don’t want to spend a little time to learn this, then this app may not be for you. It would also be nice to have a center point for everyone to meet and post their problems, tips, info, and fixes, in one place. There are posts all over the place, under general forums, game forums, device specific forums. There is one already set up at, http :// psx 4 droid . webs . com / . I can’t say anything about the upkeep, or owner, as I don’t know him, but it at least provides a place where we can combined our efforts, and get some progress in certain areas. All gamers, in 1 place, enjoying what we do, gaming!! I’ve had a few years of experience with PSX Emulators on the mobile platform and PC, and wanted to help out the mobile community that has helped me out for so long, and get more users to enjoy this great app / emulator! P.S. (intro) ( Return to Index ) PSX emulation is very difficult to produce and update, even more so to master. Remember even the original PlayStation had its flaws, troubles with some games loading and lagging during heavy action scenes or full screens. Don’t hate on the developer for A) Giving us this experience, and B) For updates that may not increase performance in the way you would like it to. Updates are slow for this style emulator and difficult to please everyone’s expectations. My advice, back up every version of PSX4Droid, with whatever program you use ( I use TitaniumBackup ) So you can revert back to a previous version if you do not like the performance changes of the upgrade. I may say this again for reinforcement! Compatibility is still a long ways away from playing every game that's out there all the way through. Most of the more popular titles work at full or close to full speed, some with minor bugs or menu flashes, but are still playable. Here is a link to what I think is the most updated Compatibility guide : (Thanks to Trev 186 @ android forums) The emulator is still pretty new, only being a few months old, there is still a lot of testing that can be done to increase compatibility, some ideas are included in this guide. Again, seeing it has only been out for a few months, it has had a couple updates. (Yes, I am a aware of what most felt about 1.2 and 1.3, that’s why I said a couple not 5) But, I don’t understand why so many people are complaining and screaming at Zodttd about lack of updates and support. That is not the way to encourage a developer to continue support for this emulator!! Thanks for reading my rant! About PSX4Droid: (Market Information) ( Return to Index ) PSX4Droid is a Sony Playstation Emulator for High-End Android phones. (****emphasis on the High-End****) Changelog v1.7: http :// tl . gd /6 ba 83 a Fast and feature packed including: - Uses formats BIN,ISO,IMG,PBP,Z,ZNX, and Eboot - WiiMote controller - Trackball dpad - Memory card & save states - Virtual control overlay - Scaling modes AND MORE! Thanks! Contact Developer: Zodttd http :// www . zodttd . com http :// twitter . com / zodttd zodttd @ zodttd . com Notes about Recent updates:( Return to Index ) Many are not thrilled with the recent updates (1.2-1.5) Speed is down, Sound is choppy, and has overall made some games unplayable. However, compatibility, overall, is up. Yes, updates can be good and bad at the same time. This is why I recommend backing up each version of PSX4Droid. If the game you like slowed down in update 1.5, then restore the previous version 1.1. If you run into a glitch, restore 1.5, play past the glitch and revert back to 1.1. Also if you updated to 1.5, loading from a previous versions save state can make the game less stable and slower. Always load from a memory card save when switching versions. Compatibility Guides:( Return to Index ) Phone Compatibility: http :// psx 4 droid . wikkii . com / wiki / Main _ Page If your device is not listed, it does not mean it doesn’t work, only that it has not been tested. List of Compatible Games: Here or Here. They are both great lists. Again, the game is not listed, it means it hasn’t been tested. Beginners Guide to Emulators:( Return to Index ) Mostly, for those new to emulators, here are some key points you will need to know or have an little understanding of, if you have any hopes of having a good experience with an emulator. The information about BIOS is Especially Informative!!! What is a emulator?: Video game console emulators are programs that allow a computer, mobile phone, or modern console to emulate an, or another, video game console. Another words this is the Console, I.E. Nintendo, Playstation, Super Nintendo, Gameboy etc... What is a Bios?: The bios is the software which makes the basic hardware work (basic input/output system (BIOS). Primary function of the BIOS is to load and start an operating system. This is the system files of the emulator. SCPH1001 is the one, most have chosen, to be the standard BIOS used with emulators. can be found here http :// psx 4 droid . webs . com / downloads . htm SCPH1001, SCPH7001 are the BIOS for the original NTSC PlayStation SCPH1000, SCPH7000 are for Japan’s version SCPH1002, SCPH7002 are for the PAL version. SCPH7001 or SCPH7502, were for the later released PlayStation models. I believe we use SCPH1001, since it was one of the earliest versions and it’s easily found. It also, apparently has the most compatibility with games. I haven’t noticed a huge difference but it can vary device to device. Not needed for getting PSX4Droid set up, but at some point, I really recommend visiting this link to understand about the different PSX Bios and to find which one will work best for you or your specific game! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_(console) What is a ROM / ISO?: ( Return to Index ) A Rom, is a computer file which contains a copy of data from a “read-only memory chip”, usually from video game cartridges. An ISO image or file is that, from a disc. Rom= Cartridge Game ISO= Disc Game These are the “games” for emulators These terms are used interchangeably in some instances. The legality of obtaining these games varies from country to country. If you are concerned about it i suggest you look up your area’s laws about digital image backups. .bin, .iso, .img, .php, .z, .znx, and .eboot; are formats that are supported by PSX4Droid and are what you should be looking for in your backups / downloads. .EMC files can also be used but require some extra work. How to Set up PSX4Droid Start to Finish: ( Return to Index ) Now for what everyone is looking for!! The first few steps are going to entail downloading everything you would need in order to get PSX4Droid up and running. Later on, we will get into the settings, and how to increase performance . Step 1) First and foremost, Download PSX4droid from the android market. (search “psx”, “psx4droid”, or “pub:Zodttd”, or under Games / Arcade & Action) Step 2) Download SCPH1001.BIN file. Google this, it is very easy to find. If you still cannot find it then look at the sites in the credits. Its on at least 1 of them. Step 3) uploads/Litterature/ psx4droid-guide.pdf
