| FPSeCE Playstation Emulator coming to Android - Mobiputing Posted: 27 Jan 2011 09:08 AM PST
Sure, Sony is getting ready to launch the Playstation Suite for Android, allowing you to purchase and run classic Playstation games on Android devices. But the Suite is only expected to work with Android 2.3 and up… and what are the odds it's going to work with your existing PSOne ROM collection? Fortunately, Sony isn't the only game in town. There's already a popular PSOne emulator for Android called psx4droid. Now it looks like we could soon see a second emulator in the Android Market. Mobile developer Schtruck plans to port FPSeCE, a popular Windows Mobile Playstation emulator to run on Android. FPSeCE has been around for years, and I remember using it to play Final Fantasy VII on my Dell Axim x50v more than 4 years ago. Sure, it was a little sluggish on the PDA's 624 MHz processor. But for RPGs and other games where speed isn't necessarily of the essence, it worked amazingly well. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how the emulator handles modern Android devices with 1 GHz or faster processors. Bear in mind, emulators like FPSe can be a bit tricky to use. First, you need a valid BIOS file from an original Playstation device. Second the emulators exist in a legal gray area at best, since it's usually easier to just download games from the dark corners of the internet — even though it's technically possible (if not easy) to rip CDs from your own game collection (which is what I did with FFVII, and man did it take a long time). Schtruck says FPSe should hit the Android Market soon. To tide you over, he's posted a few videos of the app in action, which you can check out after the break. It looks like the app lets you choose several different input methods including on-screen controls. There's support for saving game states, skipping frames to improve performance, and you can play in both portrait and landscape modes. via PocketNow This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php |
| Sony PlayStation Phone (Xperia Play): Emulator Gameplay Videos - Product Reviews Posted: 26 Jan 2011 11:13 PM PST We have some exciting news for those of you who have been keeping a close eye on developments for the Sony PlayStation Phone, as we have full preview of the device for you to read, as well as a great hands-on video. Engadget has somehow managed to get their hands on the PlayStation Phone, and have done the world a favor by posting a full report on the device complete with pictures and videos, seemingly a good while before Sony announce it officially at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We're going to focus on one particular aspect of their preview – a video which finally shows some gameplay action. Engadget didn't go into specifics, but they were freely able to 'download' some emulators for the device – one was a Gameboy Advance, and the other a PlayStation one. We're not sure that it's entirely legal, but we bet you're dying to see the results anyway. The games shown were Ridge Racer and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4. We would have loved to see these played using the full length of the 4-inch multitouch 854 x 480 LCD, but it was still very satisfying to see these running without any apparent framerate problems or slowdowns. Super Mario Advance 4 was also tested and worked like a dream.
It's clear that you can use the PlayStation Phone to download emulators and roms which will be enough for most, but we still don't know what Sony's actual plans are from a gaming point of view. Will they offer a direct service to download PS1 games from the PSN store, or do they have something completely different in the works?
Either way, we can't wait to see what the final product looks like. Check out Engadget's video below and read their full preview in the link above. Let us know your thoughts on the device after seeing this video – impressed?
