[APP][GUIDE] Working PSXPeria Ready to Go! NEED TESTERS
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.
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!

You don't need to rip ANYTHING from a APK or ZPAK, the zip file has everything you need, just choose your ISO and away you go.
What I meant when I said UK version, poo-tang posted those saying it gets the UK version working, what he didn't know, is it helps get them all working.
