So I was doing some research last night to try and get Kingdom Hearts on my phone. I was successful, but the quality of the game is horrible. I even tried a couple different downloads.
This is what I did:
I downloaded the full version of psx4droid, downloaded the bios, downloaded the game rom and downloaded androzip.
I put all of them in a folder in my sd card. Used androzip to extract the bios and the game rom zip file. Then I opened psx4droid and located the bio and set it. Then search for the game rom and launched it. The game plays fine, with no stalls what so ever. But for some reason the quality of the game is really bad, and when I go in to the setting and change the ratio to original size the game size is really tiny.
What I don't understand is the normal size of this game has a larger aspect ratio so why would it be smaller? Does anyone know any tricks on how to get a better quality out of any of the roms games? Thanks
Psx4droid isn't very good. You have to get fpse from the market, it's a pay app but it's worth it. I'm playing ff7 right now with a good framerate and full working sound.

Do know where I can find a full tutorial on how to do it. I have a few playstation games, and ps2 games that I would like to get on my phone but having no luck.
1. Download the FPSE app from the market.
2. Download the psx bios from here:
http://www.roms4droid.com/bios/SCPH1001.zip
3. Open up FPSE, it will automatically prompt you to select the bios. (I recommend putting all roms and the bios file in a folder on your external sd card)
4. Select the ROM you want to play.
Everything should automatically scale to full screen with fpse. Also, fpse only reads IMG and ISO files I believe.
For some roms you have to enable spusync for the audio to play correctly (ff7 being one of those roms). Enable it by menu -> audio -> spusync.
And there are no emulators available currently that will run a PS2 game.

Thank you. I tried three different downloads of that rom and still the quality is horrible. The size ratio when I set it to original is really small, it must be that rom is the only one on the web. I am downloading FFVIII to give that a try. Thank you for the instructions, at least I am doing it correctly. Just need to find a better rom.

I've never tried kingdom Hearts but every rom I did try (xenogears, suikoden, ff7, tenchu) ran flawlessly and at full screen by default.

Its got to be that rom then. I just finished downloading all the cds for ff8. About to give it a try.
Do you know if I will run in to a problem when I finish disc one and start disc two? Will it let me proceed with my saved data like normal?
Still no luck, I put the .zip file in the folder, I used a third party app to extract it in the same location, than tried to play it......."cannot find bin file..... .bin file must be named as the .cue file."
Finally got it....wow....that tool alot more research.... I had to take the zip files, extract the .bin files from them and then zip them using a unecm file that I found online which converted them to a rom format....works awesome! Thank you for all your help dude!

Sorry I didn't respond. Yes you must unecm most psx roms. And don't try the unecm app on the market because it doesn't work. I usually unzip and unecm the roms on my PC then I transfer them via wifi file transfer pro to my phone.

No worries dude, you were a big help. I also did it on my computer. Worked like a charm....was playing FF8 for like an hour, love that game.

Yea ff8 is great. To answer your question about disc changing.. I'm not sure because I haven't gotten to that point yet, I'm assuming just make sure you have the disc 2 iso ready to go before hand.
Also, some games are extremely hard to play (tenchu) with just touch screen controls, lol. I think I'll stick to just rpgs for now.
PS. Try the n64oid app it runs games like ocarina of time or mario 64 flawlessly.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Nice, will do. Thank you
Just for info. When you choose "original", the reason it's small is due to the original resolution of a PSX game being 640x480 (for NTSC) to fit a television screen. Your Galaxy Note is 1280x800.

Ok, looks like I had the wrong cache.
Download this cache: http://www.multiupload.com/G58745X0U5
Put into /sdcard/Android/data/
Install chainfire3d
Install chainfire3d driver
Check "unroll textures" in chainfire3d
Play game without any lag
EDIT: The above is not relevant. You don't need chainfire to run this game with no lag, I just had some freak glitch in the beginning.
Works fine for me
works good for me too. i dont even need chainfire
Working good here, no chainfire as well.
OP, thx for bringing this to my attention as well.

What this is is just the .set file from the tegra2 game data build. I don't know why they lumped the SGS2 with all the low-end phones, because it's not lagging at all even with 2dfx on.

I was using n64oid last night plugged into the tv, with a wireless 360 controller. No issues except trying to figure out how i wanted the controller setup.
I got the Mario textures working fine but the Zelda ones have file extensions ending in .001 .002 and .003. I have no idea what I need to do with these files to make them work. I tried changing the extensions to .zip but then astro got errors when trying to extract them. Can anyone give me some insight as to how I can resolve this?

Use a program called file joiner to join the files together into a single .zip/.Rar file .
N64oid works great for me on ICS with Mario 64. No problems at all.
Gensoid also works, tried Sonic 2.
It wasnt user error or software problems, the rom I was using just does not work on the v2.6 N64oid. Every other rom works though.
Wish Battletanx and spacestation worked :-{
Hey Guys,
Many of you might use google movies to organized your movies but I personally like this one. I wanted something that shows my movies with cool posters.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5taXoubWl6dXUiXQ..
It list your movies with movie poster and if you want, when you select a movie, it gives you another screen giving you details of the movie and cool pictures in the background. There's a free and a paid one. Note: it's just an organizer, and will need to use stock player or whatever you have. I used mx player.
Don't have it on my tablet yet but it looks promising for sure. Thanks for the heads up. Going to load up the tablet and check this out.
Edit.
Is there something I have to do to the files to get them to show up? I added the folder they are all in but they don't show up.....many different file formats and size files. None of them showed.
Stock ROM and the free app for now.
Any advice?
When u click update, it ask you to select the folders you want to be added to your list. I select update and clear to update. Try that?

I can't dl the game from the store because it says it's not compatible with my device, but I dl'd it to my 3VO. What is the best way to transfer ALL of the game data to my TP? I have Titanium Backup Pro on both my devices. I made a backup of the game on the 3VO, but the only file I found for it in the TBP folder was not nearly big enough for everything needed (what is the file from the store, 980+ mb?) Plus, I can't download the game again because we have sucky satellite internet out here in the sticks and it's super slow and capped. Also, provided I can get the game on my TP, what exactly did you do to make it work? Install the game and then reflash the ROM?
Any help is much appreciated!

I just wanted to start a topic on tegra 3 and other games that work on the galaxy S4. Last night I did a little testing with a few Tegra games on the S4 that are not in the play store on the device that worked.
(Update) To find almost all games in Play Store follow thes 8 steps Carefully.
(I AM NOT RESPONSABLE IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE OR MESS YOUR PHONE UP. TAKE YOUR TIME)
1. Download this file. (Its used for another fix but helps us also
http://www.4shared.com/zip/66jo-mIz/Multi_DPI_Play_Store_416_for_J.html
2. Move zip file to internal SD Card
3. Reboot into revovery and flash Multi DPI Play store.zip with CWM or whatever flashing tool you use besides the stock then reboot.
4. Download ES File Explorer.
5. Hit menu and then "Root Explorer"
6. Hit "Mount R/W" (I just mount all 4 and press ok)
7. Now go back to main screen and tap the top bar and pick "Device" (so yoyur not searching the Sd the actual "Device" partition for system files.)
8. Look at the folders displayed below and tap the one that says "System"
9. Tap/Open the "build.prop" file with a text editor of your choice.
10. Change the line that says:
(ORIGINAL)
ro.product.device=..............
(The ... stands for whatever your device is. Its different for every one so I just put .... as an example)
(NEW/CHANGE TO **Only use one of these and dont copy whats in brackets**)
ro.product.device=softwin (Fakes JXD S7300b)(Recommended)
ro.product.device=olympus (Fakes Motorola Atrix)
ro.product.device=d2att (Fakes Samsung Galaxy S3 on att)
ro.product.device=grouper (Fakes Nexus 7 Tablet)
ro.product.device=tf300t (Fakes Asus Transformer Pad)
ro.product.device=GT-P7500 (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1)
ro.product.device=maguro (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Nexus)
ro.product.device=tf201 (Fakes Asus Transformer Prime)
(Make sure you change what comes after the equals sign to "softwin/olympus/d2att/etc" no spaces)
11. Save, restart your phone.
12. Go to Aplication Manager in your settings. Clear data for Google Play Store.
FINALLY check the Play Store for a ton of new apps. Give it a few minutes to add the new apps well your searching. Takes a few minutes to see the changes and new apps!!!!!!!!!
ENJOY AND REPORT BACK IF THIS HELPS
So far ive found out that:
The Dark Knight Rises = Workes perfect so far. Great graphics.
(New) Dead Trigger = Working good no issues ive notice. Still trying it out but seems really good and fast loading.
(New) Gangstar Rio = Running perfect.
(New) Samurai II Vengeance = Working good, no issues as of yet.
(New) N.O.V.A 3 = Runs amazing havent had any issues.
(New) Wild Blood = Works fine. No issues at all.
(New)The Amazing Spider-Man = Working good. To bad drawing distance wasnt increased for the game seeing as the s4 has so much ram
(New) Rayman Jungle Run = Works great no issues. Looks nice on the S4.
Real Boxing = WORKING FOR THE FIRST TIME :~)
9mm = NOT WORKING. Non compatible message. Still trying different versions.
NBA Jam = NOT WORKING.
Wanted to add to the list Tegra games that can be bought in the app store (just for reference):
Riptide GP = Works great. Max out graphics settings in options for water splashed on screen, better waves and all around better graphics.
I know theres more in the Play Store just cant remember right this second.
Anyone who has tested Tegra games not purchasable and purchasable in the Play Store feel free to add to the list or do your own testing with different app Could be useful later on, obv the S4 can handle these games.

Buy a Moga controller online it is compatible with most games. Download the Moga app to ger an idea of what games are compatible. Basically all the games ive been testing have been updated to work wirh the Moga controller. Looks like an xbox controller with a mount for yoyr cell phone atached.
