Playstation 2 Emulator Play

[Deidamia Bassiti]

Igot a Playstation phone (Sony Xperia Play) and would love to play old video games on it for free. I was hoping there was an emulator (maybe mame?) I could install on it. Is there some way I could do this?

Yes there are! Currently I found a Mame, Gameboy, N64, Snes, ScummVM (emulates classic adventure titles like Secret of Monkey Island, THE DIG, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango and Broken Sword) and a Genesis emulator.

I have them all installed but I only tested the MAME, Sness and ScummVM emulator. I also have been told that some of these were removed from the market since they were paid apps that were copied from open source emulators. I have no idea about the legality of the use of emulators.

Double Edit: I've been doing some research about PSX emulators and some close friends have recommended me FPse (Free Playstation Emulator) - it's supposed to be free but someone is selling it on the Droid Market.

The best by far is the PSP emulator for android called PPSSPP, it works best although might require good hardware configuration on your android device. Here is how to play psp games on android using ppsspp

I tried the PlayStation doom port for the first time yesterday but the outdated control settings annoy me quite a bit and now I am wondering whether it is possible to play it with modern control configuration. When writing "modern" I think about:

If you're talking emulations of the original PSX Doom/Final Doom, those came out before Dual Shock/Analog controllers were released, so simply put, no, as the games have no ways of recognizing the controller directly.

Basically, numerous small stuff. Not the same sprites for example (on PSX they all got resized), the lighting method isn't quite accurate (you can set sector colors but they way they'd blend under GZDoom's renderer isn't the same), etc.

For a much more accurate recreation, the same guys behind the GEC Master Edition on PSX also released a backport of the PSX Doom/Final Doom/Doom 64 content using an older fork of GZDoom, called (currently confusingly) "Gzdoom [GEC] Master Edition" and those sorts of things were properly accounted for, so it should be very close to the PSX Doom/Doom 64 experience - just running under a rather old GZDoom version. The makers of the PSX Doom TC endorse that as a more faithful recreation.

Thank you for all the replies! After learning that it is almost impossible I decided to try the "GZdoom [GEC] Master Edition" suggested by Dark Pulse, and it is great! I won't try with emulator anymore. This one seems faithful enough, and if that criterion is fullfilled, a PC port is always superior.

Analog support is already in and works quite nicely with the uncapped framerate for smooth/precise turning - it was added in 0.4.0. The Xbox controller is supported out of the box with a modern style control layout by default. PsyDoom also supports standard keyboard and mouse controls too. Most of the game is pretty much there at this point, I'm very much moving towards enhancements and quality of life additions at this stage.

The code is actually derived directly from the original PlayStation MIPS machine code and uses that as its basis. I wrote tools to convert this machine code to an assembly-like form of C++ and that was gradually converted to standard C++ with the emulation layers being stripped back over time. I did use the GEC code later on as a reference once that became available (I started before that point) but even then I still had to painstakingly convert and go through every single function and gradually strip away all emulation, piece by piece. It was a very interesting process but basically my goal all along was to maintain working builds at every single point in time so if a problem was introduced I could pinpoint exactly where in the git history it was introduced. Thankfully all that stuff is done now (it was a LOT of work!), so I can just focus on adding improvements and quality of life features etc.

As for accuracy, I've recorded over 180 demos playing through all of the maps in Doom and Final Doom for both the PAL and NTSC versions and all of these demos play back accurately in PsyDoom. Demos are an excellent way to check if gameplay is 1:1 because if the slightest thing is different they usually go 'off the rails' very fast... For example a slight difference in the view bobbing threw off of some the demos I recorded for Final Doom, a seemingly harmless thing that affected when weapons could be fired and thus caused a de-sync.

Are you gonna bump all PSX threads on this regard? Doom for PlayStation 1 was released 2 years before Dualshock came out. Nobody had an idea such a controller would be released at some point, let alone implement a support for it.

As an alternative, you may take a look at this thread. This updated version has a support for Dualshock.

You can also try out intacowetrust's native pc port of PSX Doom: PSY DOOM (which on top of having keyboard and mouse support, uncapped interpolated fps, high-res hardware accelerated mode and widescreen support; also has dual anologue stick gamepad support)

The Gamma app features a virtual controller layout underneath the gameplay screen (users can load their own custom controller skins if they prefer) and games can be played in either landscape or portrait orientation.

As well as that, Gamma features saves that persist across gaming sessions, and it allows you to save your progress manually and automatically. You can also pick a backup service to sync your saves to, and Gamma will automatically upload those saves for you.

If I ever made one Youtube video, it would probably be about the BEST way to play PSX games in modern times. It would compare PS1 hardware to PS2, PS3, and PS Handhelds thru both hardware backward compatibility and official emulation on said consoles... vs. PC/Android emulators like Duckstation, vs FPGA via Robert's Mister core. A comparison of hardware accuracy to the PS1 vs other options is in order, as well as extra features such as ease of use, HDMI output [and if the pros of using a PS3 are now superseded by the Mister's 1080p output WITH hardware accuracy, widescreen options, etc.]

Spoiler: Speculation here- if Robert's core goes to the MARS project, then the PS1 in 4K [WITH the hardware accuracy] probably would shoot down any benefit even Duckstation might have and be the BEST way to play... IF you have the hardware to do it. Advanced features, not needing modchips, turning the console upside down, nor memcards... it will be very hard to beat as an option...

I think MLiG would be the best to make such a video. VGE is just super low effort daily videos. Only MLiG would do a well produced deep dive for this. Also possibly DF Retro though those tend to be game focused and not hardware focused

Right off the bat, mister psx core needs tiny bit more work on MDEC. The most annoying "you can't unsee once you see it" problem to me is this rectangle box in Resident Evil background issue, which is due to MDEC inaccuracy according to Robert.

Those are just nitpicks since psx core is my fav core by far but I'm curious if anyone doing comparisons would catch that. That RE rectangle box problem was caught by a streamer awhile ago if I remember correctly and I haven't see any youtubers mention it.
