Psx4droid

[SeenNotScene]

Hey fellow gamers. With the recent updates to psx4droid game compatibility has improved quite a bit imo. There are also a few more tweaking options in the settings.

I was wondering if anyone here has played around with them to find the most compatible settings, primarily metal gear solid. Most other games I play work great without changing any settings. Also any tips you might have as far as best kernal/rom combo that works well for you. I'm currently on serendipity 2.0 with the speedmod kernal.

Thanks for any *constructive* comments!

I've been playing around with PSX4Droid for quite a while now, and I have to say that while compatiblity has improved drastically with V2, speed has gone down significantly.

I'm running the latest Cognition Froyo build right now, and while FFVII, FFIX, Xenogears and Diablo all run with no glitches, they run extremely poorly.

Thanks for the response, have you tried changing the precise cdrom or cycle multiplier to see if anything improves? Playing Resident Evil 3 right now myself and it does very well, possibly due to the pre rendered backgrounds... Just wishing metal gear wasn't so choppy.

You know what, I just installed the latest Serendipity build today with Glitterball's OC/UV kernel, and FFIX runs absolutely perfectly now. It's actually pretty surreal. This has been the first time where I haven't had a single glitch.

The game will start with some audio lag, but it clears after a few minutes of gameplay. I would try Metal Gear for you, but I don't have an ISO handy. I'll convert my copy to an ISO when I have time and give it a shot.

edit: Yeah, I gave MGS a shot and it has quite a few audio problems, but gameplay is fairly playable. A lot more audio issues than most games I've tried though.

Wow, this sounds great. I'd love to play Gran Turismo on my phone!

I've actually read that disabling the music can speed it up on older phones, had no effect for me though perhaps I will swap a few different kernals and see if there is a considerable difference.

Glitterball's kernel probably works so well for me just because it's an OC/UV kernel. My Captivate's processor runs at 1.2ghz with it on.

Oh I have done my fair share of flashing lol usually twice a week if new stuff keeps coming out.

Anybody else having success with roms and or kernals?

Yep the latest version is running very nicely indeed although even OCed teken 3 is not quite there yet....not that you can really play it with onscreen controls (damn you Samsung for this Bluetooth) but as a performance measure.

I second that. The new sony android phone with the psp slide out controller looks quite appealing.

I think those would work on any capacitive touchscreen device, so long as the touch buttons on the emulator are the right size for the joystick.

 

[slider2828]

Yeah hopefully there are some for cheap..... I think it should work.

It even says when you open PSX4DROID WHERE to DL the BIOS.

People need to learn how to read.

A link to the wiki for those interested in helping out. I take absolutely no credit for this (except for a few entries)

I just played Resident Evil 3 all the way through, ran flawlessly.

My psx playing ff7 is horrible with the latest updates... 1.0.8 was the best for me.
