Sony Playstation 1 (PSX) on Android upcoming release.

[zodttd]

Hiya all at AndroidCentral!

I'm ZodTTD. I port/program most of the emulators on the iPhone.
Recently there was a petition ( here ) to have me bring PSX, N64, and the VLC media player to the Android platform. With over 1800 signatures I started work on PSX a few days ago.

With the help of the author of the Android Marketplace's GameBoid (GBA emu) and Nesoid (NES emu) I have been able to get my Sony Playstation 1 emulator up and running.

It's currently within GameBoid's framework... So things are still a bit early, but it won't be long until a PSX controller skin, some features are added, and polish is given for a release.

Note that this release will be for Android 2.x and will require a recent CPU such as the Cortex A8 or Snapdragon.

I really would like to get the news out about this, especially to communicate with the 1800 people who signed the petition.

With pics inside, here's the news article link to reference:
Making Android Mine ? Blog Archive ? ZodTTD is showing some love to Android!

I didn't sign that petition, but I am very much for it!

Great to hear everything is coming along!
Thanks for all the effort so far.

Hi darkcovers! Thanks so much for the support!

Btw, N64 is coming soon too.

 

[darkcovers]

Definitely, I support all developers. I couldn't do any of it myself. Haha.

N64 would be awesome.
mario 64, goldeneye, zelda, starfox.
loves those games.

Didn't sign the petition, but I could only dream of seeing certain PS1 or N64 games running on a phone. You'll have my money.

How is the overall performance/framerate?

What that is epic ps1 n64 very very cool

But VLC for my phone woooooooooooooooowhooooooooooo

especially if it had all those codecs in it like the pc/mac version does

Excellent news - N64 (Super Mario 64 & Zelda!) would be great!

Here's some info that I just posted to androidforums as well...

I still have a lot of games to test but so far so good in compatibility area. I say 3 out of 4 games run but it's higher than that to some degree. With a library of 1000's of games it gets tough to tell. Especially when lots of specific games are wanted and then there's 1000 junk titles.

I now have sound working as well. Needs to be tweaked for sure since it has gaps in it during MDEC (psx movies) playback. Hoping it's a buffering issue, if so it's fixed easily. In fact while typing this I might have figured out why.

My biggest concern is performance. I need to squeeze some more FPS still in games like Ridge Racer. Games like Buster Bros Collection and even Final Fantasy 7 are running well.

Will keep at it!

Thanks,
ZodTTD

If anything pushed me to getting Android, it was this. Thanks a million, can't wait to see the final results.

PS1, Breath of Fire 3 & 4 would be awesome.

You're a legend, my man, among the iDevice crowd (I'm still with them, halfway) and I can't wait to have this. Looking good so far!

Suhweet!!! I would love to be able to play Metal Gear Solid on my N1 (when it gets here that is)
MGS = Best. Game. Ever.

 

[pathtologos]
