psx4droid Playstation emulator for Android hits version 2, goes on sale - Mobiputing

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 08:52 AM PST

The developer of the first Playstation emulator for Google Android is back, with version 2. The new app adds a framerate counter option and automatic frameskipping to make games play more smoothly. The developer recommends only running psx4droid v2 on phones with 60MHz or faster processors.

The new app is on sale for $1.99 for a limited time. The original app is still available from the Android Market for $5.99 — and the developer is not offering a free upgrade to the new version, so if you want the latest bug fixes, you're going to need to pony up a few bucks. The developer says the reason for the new version is that save states from the old emulator aren't compatible with the new app.

Keep in mind, the emulator requires a valid PlayStation BIOS file to run properly. If you don't know what that means, you might want to check out a set of step by step instructions for using psx4droid from xda-developers.

Dreamcast Emulator for Android Caught on Film - Tom's Guide

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 04:37 PM PST

The nullDC team is currently working on a Dreamcast emulator for Google's Android platform.

Mobile Crunch had an interesting way of describing Sega's long-dead Dreamcast console. As stated in its report, the console was originally released on 9.9.99 and to this day still pulls on our heartstrings. UGO's Dreamcast-dedicated website Sega X was actually my first online gig, and during the console's short-lived prime, it felt as if we were reporting on something magical.

Looking back now it still seems as if Sega pulled the plug on its life support system way too quick, however the magic seemingly lives on to a small extent in succeeding, non-Sega consoles like the Gamecube and the Xbox 360. Now the dream has arrived on the Android platform in the form of an emulator, and it has some of us both frightened and excited.

We already know it's somewhat possible on Google's platform-- the Android Market is loaded with GBA, NES, Super NES and Genesis emulators. There's even a PlayStation emulator that works really well. But the Dreamcast? Apparently so, as nullDC has been around for a few years already on both Linux and the PC

But as expected, nullDC lead developer drk||Raziel is experiencing problems getting Dreamcast games to run correctly, however four separate videos are available-- Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Shenmue and Crazy Taxi-- to prove that there's substantial progress. As you'll see in the video below, it's not perfect by any means right now-- Sonic Adventure alone shows some graphic weirdness has shows an obvious drop in framerate.
