I guess you have to thank me for that. jk.

On topic, is there any way to remove the update so that i can downgrade the apk without the update notification? if no, then ill have to stick with fpse.

Hey men,
I just want to say a huge thank to all the people who have created this tool, and to all the people who make it know.
I can't believe how perfect it is, all my old psx game on my play, it rock...
For the moment I just made twisted metal 2 and it run perfectly, you can't imagine how happy I am.
Big thanks to all of you for your amazing work, and keep on this way.
(is there a way to add the game in the xperia play game launcher?)

Did anyone ever have any success integrating .cue files into the apk/zpak at all? Im pretty sure it wasnt possible but, I havent looked around in awhile.

a cue file requires a bin or another file. You would integrate the bin or other file instead. A cue file is like a 'tell the program what to do with the other file'

Yes, and I'm trying to incorporate the cue in the build, Final Doom needs the cue to work. But I believe psxperia does not do that.

have you tried just using the bin file?

Yes sir, I've been trying to create bin/img files using different settings w/ imgburn, so far neither have worked with final doom (I believe its posted as a not working game with psxperia but I'm trying to work with it)

I know in fpse for final doom I have to select the cue file for the game to run (having the img/bin in the same folder of course)

i dont see why that would make any difference though. a cue file usually is pointless lol

I believe the cue contains certain audio information which is what the fpse dev told me, and final doom has the audio separate from the game on disc. Its not really my area of expertise though :)

    PLEASE READ WHOLE POST BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS OR COMPLAINING THAT IT DOESNT WORK
    Please remember, if this guide helps you in any way, press the thanks button for both myself and Fma965! (Second post)

    Even though this guide and it's files have allowed alot of people to get things working, that doesn't mean EVERY GAME will work. Even when Yifan Lu was still working on it, there were still games that would no work no matter what you do.

    One thing to try is enabling SOFTWARE RENDERING for the game. This can sometimes fix issues, sometimes not.


    Check out https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperia/wiki/Compatibility for a list of games and what can be done to try and help, or see if the game is even playable. If it's not on there, report it here what you tried, or if it just won't work.

    Refer to this thread for instructions to enable software rendering: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220541

    Unbeknownst to poo-tang, files he posted on page 14 of the official PSXPeria thread were what helped get that last little push to get things working!

    Fma965 for packaging and testing!
    Masters2150 for writing the tutorial and testing!

    This is PSXPeria V2.0 Beta, AND MAY ONLY WORK ON Android 2.3.4. If you want to try it on another version, please do and let us know!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hello all!

    Like many of you, Fma965 and myself were having a hell of a time getting PSXPeria to work, LET ALONE, finding support for it.

    So we worked together and scoured the internet and forums looking for ways to get this working.

    One problem was that you needed the US Crash Bandicoot v1.0.3, as well as the ZPAK that goes with it. Both of which are extremey hard to come by.

    We tried many different methods of getting things to work, but ran into programs of corrupt data, or the emulator not working.

    Fma965 found a post by poo-tang on the original PSXPeria thread about files needed to get things working on the UK version.

    What we found was that these files would work, regardless of being in the UK. So we added them to what we already had worked out, AND BINGO, it works.

    We tried multiple games, all worked!

    We want other people to test this out and report back if it worked for them.
    Please note, neither I or Fma965 are developers, so if it doesn't work, not much we can do. We just finally found something that worked for us.


    The attached file contains PSXPeria, and the required files to make it work. It DOES NOT contain the APK or the ZPAK.


    HOW TO USE IT

    Just start the program, either psxperiatool.jar or psxperiatool-gui-windows.bat, and run through the program as you normally would.

    Choose the image file you want to use by pressing the choose button.

    For the game information section, put in the name of the game. Try not to use special characters, while we haven't tested this, special characters have never made things easy.

    For title ID, only change the zeroes, make sure you keep the same number of digits. We haven't tried putting in more or less, but it works, so why do something different.

    Just leave developer. publisher, and description alone.

    You can use icons for the games if you want, they worked when Fma965 used them.

    Analog mode DOES work, so you can select it. We only tested this on the few games we had. You have to go into the control scheme of the application an change it to use the analog pads as controls, by default they are set to act as L2 and R2. Scheme 5 or 6 makes them act as controls. Then check the box to enable analog mode.

    After this just press CONVERT.

    When completed, goto the output folder. take the folder inside the data folder, and copy it to your SD card, put it in the /sdcard/Android/Data folder. Then put the APK file created and put it anywhere. Then just select the APK and install it.

    If you try and open it from the installer, it won't work. Either goto the playstation pocket app, or your application drawer and open it from there.

    THATS IT!

    Please test out your games and tell us if this worked!

    If this worked for you, please press the thanks button for me and Fma965, and poo-tang if he ever replies!

    wow you guys sure worked hard on this LOL but it does make it simpler i suppose what really needs to be done is someone needs to pick this project up and make it more compatible so more roms will load
    no need for sarcasm were just helping the community as we said people are always trying to get this work but fail.

    if you dont like are simple guide then kindly **** OFF

    I'm glad there is still interest in this project, but a bit disappointed a guide is the only development that is going on. Nobody is taking the project forward? Not even a better GUI, which I think is one of the main problems with PSXperia (I never concentrated on the GUI, so it's pretty crappy). Now, when the ICS version of Crash Bandicoot comes out, someone should be alert me to it. I'm curious if they would update the emulator by then. (Also: Still no growth in the official PSX library?)

    Oh, and I almost forgot. First of all, I'm sorry I went through the trouble of making people "extract" the files and such. That was the only way to prevent me from doing anything even remotely illegal, as I don't want to be accused of distributing Sony's code. Now, this is EXACTLY what this guide is doing. Props to the creator(s) for providing the files, but just a small warning that IF sony cares AND they want to cause trouble, they can say that this download is distributing their code without their permission. Now, personally, I don't have any problems with you guys doing this, but if I wasn't so paranoid, I would have made a one-click "drag your ISO in and press this button" tool a long time ago.

    Glad the files helped others. Its nice to know some people read through things not just skip from first page to the last. :)
