PSXperia PC App Converts Any PSX Game to Work on Xperia Play
Recently freelance developer Yifan Lu has released PSXperia, a PC App that converts any PSX game to work on Xperia Play - the PlayStation Certified Sony Ericsson Android mobile smartphone for gamers.
To quote: After two hard weeks of decompiling, reverse engineering, graphing, and coding, I’m proud to announce PSXperia, a set of tools to extract, patch, and repack the Crash Bandicoot game that comes with all Xperia Play phones to use any PSX game (that you legally own).
In addition to allowing you to play any property ripped PSX game, you can also set a custom icon and the game will show up in the phone’s Playstation Pocket app, so you can quickly access it when you flip the gamepad out.
I’ve converted and tested 8 games with this tool and they all run flawlessly, but if things don’t work out so smoothly for you, submit your issues to https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperia/issues.
Probably wouldn't help a phone that can't emulate to emulate; the xperia software is locked down pretty well and besides which the controls would be extremely awkward without a Play's gamepad.
is there a chance it could work on the xperia arc? I would guess it would need the 'special' software to be able to run on it, that the play has. I'd guess otherwise the 2 firmwares are pretty similar though.
And about the controls, there is a six axis app that allows you to use a ps3 controller with emulators etc, that would be handy.
It would probably work for other android phones as its apk file but i'm not sure if the app itself has touch controls. It works pretty good. I tested hot shots golf 2 and arc the lad. Does anyone know if it supports multiple disc games? Or do you have to convert each disc seperately?
