Out of 90 games there are only 9 I cannot make work (below). That is a very good compatibility.
I always set the sound to mono in settings it gets rid of most the crackles and pops
The only games which CANNOT be played by any method (PC use, swapping versions, new tweaks etc) are Dragon Warrior 7, Front Mission 3, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Slug X, Myst, Soviet Strike, Thousand Arms, Tomb Raider 1+2
The games which were previously unplayable that WORK NOW: Bushido Blade 1 and 2 (though 50% speed), Wing Commander 3 and 4, Riven (had no sound before), Valkryie profile, Parasite Eve 2
Make sure not to use OLD SAVE STATES. If your results differ from mine please email me trevormarina.hayes@gmail.com
PSX4Droid Compatibility list for 1.6 Using a Nexus One on 2.2. All games are Eboot files unless specified otherwise. I am testing all the core portions of the games (not just starting them up and seeing if they work)
Alone in the Dark-One Eyed Jack's Revenge: Works the same as it did in 1.5 No issues sound is perfect
Alone in the Dark the New Nightmare: Will not run past character selection in 1.6. Works fine if I swap out to version 1.1. Sound is much improved. Tried all tweaks
Alundra: Works good. Seriously wish this was just release on SNES to save me space on my phone
Arc the Lad 1-3: These all run fine.
Azure Dreams: Works the same as 1.5 except sound is better
Baulder's Gate: Works just fine.
Beyond the Beyond: Works just fine
Brave Fencer Musashi: Game runs faster and sound is perfect now
Breath of Fire 3: Runs better than in 1.5 and sound is improved
Breath of Fire 4: For some reason it will not start past the character selection screen again. However I played about 30 mins on it running off an old save state and it worked just fine (No Collision issues at invisible walls) Recommend people starting a new game in 1.1 to get a save state at the beginning and then loading it in version 1.6 should play fine until it is more compatible. Tried all tweaks
Bushido Blade 1 and 2: Screen resolution issue is fixed. However the FPS has slowed down significantly. Tried all tweaks
Castlevania SOFTN: Runs fine
Civilization 2: Runs great
Command and Conquer: Red Alert: Runs Great
Dino Crisis 1 and 2: Both of these games will no longer boot. I attached a save state in game from 1.5 perhaps it will help figure out why it is crashing. For me it is not much of an issue cause I can still play both of these games in 1.1 of PSX4droid Tried all tweaks
Dragon Valor: Works much better! Much quicker now
Dragon Warrior 7: Still has pixel explosion. See save state Tried all tweaks
Driver 1 and 2: Work perfect and sound is fixed
Dune 2000: Works perfect
Ehrgeiz: Still slow but sound is better now (Game has always run about 60% speed) Tried all tweaks
Einhander: Works just fine
Eternal Eyes: Works Great
Fear Effect 1: in 1.6 it has some bugs. I turned on the SPU tweak setting and it worked somewhat better. Still randomly had pixels explode and sound would out run it. Then I turned the sound type to Mono and turned subtitles on and it worked fine
Fear Effect 2: No visible problems
Final Fantasy 7: Still playable
Final Fantasy 8: Over world map is still too slow in 1.6. Not sure why but 1.1 was fastest (barely) I get around moving by pressing start a lot. If people want to play FF8 I recommend them using 1.1 until they get the garden. Once they get the garden in disc 2 they need to use 1.6 and press tart rapidly as they move. Finish disc 2 and the start of disc 3 ASAP without dicking around and then in disc 3 switch back to 1.1 until the end of the game. If Ragarok gives them issues they should gain swap to 1.6 but it should not. Tried all tweaks
Final Fantasy 9: Works the same as in 1.5. Has some freeze points but easily skipped on the PC. Only happens about once per disc not a huge issue.
Final Fantasy Tactics: Works Perfectly
Front Mission 3: UGH It works better now! However it still will not load text. If you toggle the SPU tweak in 1.6 it sometimes shows some text. Not enough to play the game. Also if you bring up the PSX4droid settings and go back to the game it will stay black. I am attaching you save states with photos which show the position and the game and the issue. Tried all tweaks
Grandia: No problems
Gran Turismo: Works great
Gran Turismo 2: Works great
Hoshigami-Ruining the Blue Earth: Works and no one has heard of this game so why do I even bother
Hot Shots Golf: Sound improvement makes this relaxing
Jade Cocoon: Works great

Legend of Legaia: Sound is improved but it has slowed to about 50% and has not stopped some of the random glitches present in the game. Anyone who wants to play this should do so on 1.1 for the time being. Tried all tweaks
Lunar 1: Works great
Lunar 2: Works great
Mech Warrior 2 31st Century Combat: Works perfect. Have to use a .BIN version of this
Medal of Honor 1: Works
Medal of Honor 2: Works
Metal Gear Solid & (Integral): Will not work. It makes it a little bit further in the intro and then freezes because of the damn radio. It has sound though. Freeze happens in both versions. Previously in MGS integral I could load Memory card saves made on my PC but in 1.6 I cannot. The div counter tweak helps
Metal Slug X: Now it does not even make it to the character select screen it just freezes shortly after loading. tried both tweaks
Myst: Still freezes when choosing a new game Tried both tweaks
Parasite Eve 1: Works just fine
Parasite Eve 2: Runs now !!! Works great
Rayman: Still Will not run past Ubisoft Logo I know for a fact this is CDDA, However same exact game is available on GBA so it does not matter much. Tried both tweaks

Hi everyone! Holy sheeze! 79 pages on this topic alone!
I released v1.61.
Changelog: TwitLonger: psx4droid v1.6 released. Changelog: - Put sound on it's own thread. Smoother sound playback. Especia
Guide/FAQ by Therev29 (thanks!): TwitLonger: For psx4droid newcomers, I have a treat for you. Therev29 wrote up a very complete #psx4droid guide!
v1.6 was released moments before v1.61. I had to fix a memory card file path issue real quick.
Right now I'm working on some sound issues that I still need to squash. Sometimes sound plays too fast or too slow, and can depend on the speed of the device and it's firmware's audio buffer size.
For instance Final Fantasy 7's background music runs slower than it should. This will be fixed.
I am interested in hearing whether certain games changed in performance (both down and up) drastically since v1.5. Comparison to v1.1 would be interesting to know too.
I am also considering including a show fps/vsync option in either developer versions I can distribute to you guys or make it a public feature. I have been cautious to make the feature public since if I fudge with timings / cycle counting in the emulator the framerate displayed can be misleading.
Put simply for example, I can make a build that draws 200 frames per second, but only have the game's logic update once within that second. So your character on the screen would move one frame but the 199 other frames are the same.
People could see 200 fps with 199 wasted frames drawn to the screen sucking up CPU time that could be used for PSX CPU emulation and compare it to a build that runs at 60 fps. If the 60 fps build in this example updates the game every 60 frames, it is actually running the game faster than that 200 fps example. So fps can be misleading when it comes to timings and IRQs. Fun stuff.
Feel free to chat with me on Twitter, especially if I wander back into work and forget to update forums. I'm @zodttd
Thanks!
Hey zodttd,
1.5 seemed to work better for me. FF7 now has slower sound in latest update as said, chrono cross plays abysmally slow with slomo sound. CGI sequences in chrono cross, klonoa, are fast with sound fast in sync but ingame is slow, FF7 CGI is too fast and sound is normal not in sync. Parasite Eve has fast abnormal cgi but ingame is normal until you enounter random battle, then it becomes slow..mind you, everything was faster before. Also there's a bug where the emu just won't exit without a manual shut down. I'm using a tmobile G2 HTC droid 2.2 OCed to 1.45 GHZ. I've tried both stock and oc speeds. Could it be a compatibility issue with my phone since it just came out october 6?
Tried all settings in psx4droid to change but nogo.

Parasite EVE works fine in battle and no sound issues for me. Couple of things.
DONT USE A OLD SAVE STATE. 90% of people complaining their games are slower now which are different than mine are doing this. If you only have a save state. Load the save state and make a memory card save and then exit out again.
Change the sound to mono in settings in the actual game it will help some
Make sure you did not turn on any tweaks as they can cause issues they are only to be used when a game will not run by default.
If you are still having issues it may be something with your phone or another program you are running

Dude what tweaks are you referring to?....I load straight from memory card not save states. Parasite eve slows down mid fight and remember, it did not happen in 1.5...nothings changed since then, and id expect improvement over drawback, also it doesn't close right away sometimes still running in the background...another guy having the same issue with a different phone...two questions:
What are your settings for psx4droid 1.61?
What do you mean by tweaks?
What are your settings for psx4droid 1.61?
What do you mean by tweaks?
In settings the tweaks are Enable SPU IRQs and Divide Counters. Make sure they are not checked for Parasite Eve 1
I get no slow downs in battle for Parasite Eve 1 it runs great and Parasite Eve 2 works in this release which is awesome
Yes it does not close out unless you manually do i, does not bother me much though
Lots of people are having problems with slow games because they load from save states I get lot of emails from people who are doing that.
It may also be your phone. What kind of programs do you have running in the background?
It could als be that you are rooted (cant verify it). I remember people early on having a lot of trouble getting PSX4droid to run on Cynoagenmod. Honestly overclocking your phone should not matter to run Parasite Eve because my phone at 1 GHZ runs it 100 % (minus some cracks in sound occasionally )

Hmm...only weatherbug is running in the background lol...also my phone can't be permanently rooted. I'm using a root module which needs to be manually opened everytime the phone reboots, resetting to stock speeds beforehand...let me tinker with it a bit more..could be that my g2 needs to be more compatible with the emu maybe..thanks for your help

Nope, no tweaks enabled....weatherbug is closed, and still slowing down drastically during fight scenes in PE, cgis are still retardedly unstable (as in normal with fast over speedups for no reason). All rpgs and games have overall slowed down. It must be something dealing with the way psx4droid 1.61 is reading my tmobile G2s cpu or something. There's no reason for this to be happening on THIS version, and not 1.5, unless a compatibility in the code withdrew my phone from achieving the speeds its capable of

Yeah the CGs definitely have no issues for me. It may be the G2 phone. I recommend using PSX4droid 1.1 in the meanwhile. Parasite Eve worked well in that also and had better sound than 1.5. Most RPGs worked fine in 1.5 as well.
Sorry I could not be of more help

No that's okay I thank you so much for your quick acknowledgment of the subject..btw is there anyway to contact the author of psx4droid or if you know him...to address I guess?...maybe the sound fix he's going to make in a later patch, will fix my issue altogether?

I just use the email he has for contact in the app summary page in the market. I would send him a save state and mention that on a G2 specifically you have this issues while others may not.

Can we ever hope for multiplayer in the future, wanting to play some thill kill with my freinds on the go bad
PSX4droid 1.7 is released. Here are my finding with it compared to 1.7. Once again Zod has improved it quite a bit. Most notable changes are listed first
Games with significant changes this release compared to 1.6:
Alone in the Dark One Eyed Jacks Revenge: Runs twice as fast as now
Legend of Legaia: Sped up. However sound is slow in the over-world and fast in battle. But hey the game is playable so that is great
Parasite Eve 2 : Still works must use Div Counter
Twisted Metal 2: Works great now. No tweaks
Bushido Blade 1 and 2: Running about 80% speed as opposed to 50% No tweaks turned on. I could not tell if they were faster or slower with the Div counter tweak turned on
Fear Effect: works without issues now. Previously had some quirks.
Vagrant Story: People need to use Div counter tweak to make AI load
Games which still do NOT work or Run very slowly:
Final Fantasy 8: I was wondering. This worked in 1.4 of PSX4Droid (though not many other games did) You could move in the over-world by foot and see where you were going and the Garden moved. Is there any way we can make say a "Final Fantasy 8 Mode" which would emulate PSX4droid's settings? Similar to what you did for Abe's Odyssey I suppose
Breath of Fire 4: Freezes when booting up. Tweaks did not help (even tried Abe's Odyssey tweak lol) This worked in 1.5 and when I load save states it works too (just people without save states cannot start the game.
Alone In the Dark the New Nightmare: It will not run past character selection in 1.6 or 1.7 even with tweaks. I attached a save state of what happens after you select characters
Dino Crisis 1 and 2: Both will not load to menu the same as in 1.6. No tweaks helped. When loading save state you will freeze upon entering a new room
Dragon Warrior 7: Still has pixel explosion
Ehrgeiz: Still about 50% speed.
Front Mission 3: Still does not work. Somewhat better when I enable the SPU tweak. The issue is definitely with text not appearing. Sent you a save state previously for this game. If it does not load just start a new game it is in the very beginning when the problem starts
Metal Gear Solid: Still wont run but the intro will start and freeze at the first radio communication. I am sure it can work eventually
Metal Slug X: Still wont start
Myst: Annoying buzzing sound and wont start.
Soviet Strike: Still wont load past mission screen even with tweaks
Tekken 3: Still slow with or without tweaks
Thousand Arms: Still will not run past start screen
Tomb Raider 1 and 2: Still wont work
Below is complete list of all games : They all work if they do not they are mentioned up here:
Alone in the Dark-One Eyed Jack's Revenge: Works
Alone in the Dark the New Nightmare: Will not run past character selection in 1.6. Works fine if I swap out to version 1.1. Sound is much improved. Tried all tweaks
Alundra: Works good. Seriously wish this was just release on SNES to save me space on my phone
Arc the Lad 1-3: These all run fine.
Azure Dreams: Works the same as 1.5 except sound is better
Baulder's Gate: Works just fine.
Beyond the Beyond: Works just fine
Brave Fencer Musashi: Game runs faster and sound is perfect now
Breath of Fire 3: Runs better than in 1.5 and sound is improved
Breath of Fire 4: For some reason it will not start past the character selection screen again. However I played about 30 mins on it running off an old save state and it worked just fine (No Collision issues at invisible walls) Recommend people starting a new game in 1.1 to get a save state at the beginning and then loading it in version 1.6 should play fine until it is more compatible. Tried all tweaks
Bushido Blade 1 and 2:
Castlevania SOFTN: Runs fine
Civilization 2: Runs great
Command and Conquer: Red Alert: Runs Great
Dino Crisis 1 and 2: Both of these games will no longer boot. I attached a save state in game from 1.5 perhaps it will help figure out why it is crashing. For me it is not much of an issue cause I can still play both of these games in 1.1 of PSX4droid Tried all tweaks
Dragon Valor: Works much better! Much quicker now
Dragon Warrior 7: Still has pixel explosion. See save state Tried all tweaks
Driver 1 and 2: Work perfect and sound is fixed
Dune 2000: Works perfect
Ehrgeiz: Still slow but sound is better now (Game has always run about 60% speed) Tried all tweaks
Einhander: Works just fine
Eternal Eyes: Works Great
Fear Effect 1:
Fear Effect 2: No visible problems
Final Fantasy 7: Still playable
Final Fantasy 8: Over world map is still too slow in 1.6. Not sure why but 1.1 was fastest (barely) I get around moving by pressing start a lot. If people want to play FF8 I recommend them using 1.1 until they get the garden. Once they get the garden in disc 2 they need to use 1.6 and press tart rapidly as they move. Finish disc 2 and the start of disc 3 ASAP without dicking around and then in disc 3 switch back to 1.1 until the end of the game. If Ragarok gives them issues they should gain swap to 1.6 but it should not. Tried all tweaks
Final Fantasy 9: Works the same as in 1.5. Has some freeze points but easily skipped on the PC. Only happens about once per disc not a huge issue.
Final Fantasy Tactics: Works Perfectly
Front Mission 3: UGH It works better now! However it still will not load text. If you toggle the SPU tweak in 1.6 it sometimes shows some text. Not enough to play the game. Also if you bring up the PSX4droid settings and go back to the game it will stay black. I am attaching you save states with photos which show the position and the game and the issue. Tried all tweaks
Grandia: No problems
Gran Turismo: Works great
Gran Turismo 2: Works great
Hoshigami-Ruining the Blue Earth: Works and no one has heard of this game so why do I even bother
Hot Shots Golf: Sound improvement makes this relaxing
Jade Cocoon: Works great
Legend of Dragoon: Works Great
Legend of Legaia: Sound is improved but it has slowed to about 50% and has not stopped some of the random glitches present in the game. Anyone who wants to play this should do so on 1.1 for the time being. Tried all tweaks
Lunar 1: Works great
Lunar 2: Works great
Mech Warrior 2 31st Century Combat: Works perfect. Have to use a .BIN version of this
Medal of Honor 1: Works
Medal of Honor 2: Works
Metal Gear Solid & (Integral): Will not work. It makes it a little bit further in the intro and then freezes because of the damn radio. It has sound though. Freeze happens in both versions. Previously in MGS integral I could load Memory card saves made on my PC but in 1.6 I cannot. The div counter tweak helps
Metal Slug X: Now it does not even make it to the character select screen it just freezes shortly after loading. tried both tweaks
Myst: Still freezes when choosing a new game Tried both tweaks
Parasite Eve 1: Works just fine
Parasite Eve 2: Runs now !!! Works great

Games with significant changes this release compared to 1.6:
Alone in the Dark One Eyed Jacks Revenge: Runs twice as fast as now
Legend of Legaia: Sped up. However sound is slow in the over-world and fast in battle. But hey the game is playable so that is great
Parasite Eve 2 : Still works must use Div Counter
Twisted Metal 2: Works great now. No tweaks
Bushido Blade 1 and 2: Running about 80% speed as opposed to 50% No tweaks turned on. I could not tell if they were faster or slower with the Div counter tweak turned on
Fear Effect: works without issues now. Previously had some quirks.
Vagrant Story: People need to use Div counter tweak to make AI load
Games which still do NOT work or Run very slowly:
Final Fantasy 8: I was wondering. This worked in 1.4 of PSX4Droid (though not many other games did) You could move in the over-world by foot and see where you were going and the Garden moved. Is there any way we can make say a "Final Fantasy 8 Mode" which would emulate PSX4droid's settings? Similar to what you did for Abe's Odyssey I suppose
Breath of Fire 4: Freezes when booting up. Tweaks did not help (even tried Abe's Odyssey tweak lol) This worked in 1.5 and when I load save states it works too (just people without save states cannot start the game.
Alone In the Dark the New Nightmare: It will not run past character selection in 1.6 or 1.7 even with tweaks. I attached a save state of what happens after you select characters
Dino Crisis 1 and 2: Both will not load to menu the same as in 1.6. No tweaks helped. When loading save state you will freeze upon entering a new room
Dragon Warrior 7: Still has pixel explosion
Ehrgeiz: Still about 50% speed.
Front Mission 3: Still does not work. Somewhat better when I enable the SPU tweak. The issue is definitely with text not appearing. Sent you a save state previously for this game. If it does not load just start a new game it is in the very beginning when the problem starts
Metal Gear Solid: Still wont run but the intro will start and freeze at the first radio communication. I am sure it can work eventually
Metal Slug X: Still wont start
Myst: Annoying buzzing sound and wont start.
Soviet Strike: Still wont load past mission screen even with tweaks
Tekken 3: Still slow with or without tweaks
Thousand Arms: Still will not run past start screen
Tomb Raider 1 and 2: Still wont work
Below is complete list of all games : They all work if they do not they are mentioned up here:
Alone in the Dark-One Eyed Jack's Revenge: Works
Alone in the Dark the New Nightmare: Will not run past character selection in 1.6. Works fine if I swap out to version 1.1. Sound is much improved. Tried all tweaks
Alundra: Works good. Seriously wish this was just release on SNES to save me space on my phone
Arc the Lad 1-3: These all run fine.
Azure Dreams: Works the same as 1.5 except sound is better
Baulder's Gate: Works just fine.
Beyond the Beyond: Works just fine
Brave Fencer Musashi: Game runs faster and sound is perfect now
Breath of Fire 3: Runs better than in 1.5 and sound is improved
Breath of Fire 4: For some reason it will not start past the character selection screen again. However I played about 30 mins on it running off an old save state and it worked just fine (No Collision issues at invisible walls) Recommend people starting a new game in 1.1 to get a save state at the beginning and then loading it in version 1.6 should play fine until it is more compatible. Tried all tweaks
Bushido Blade 1 and 2:
Castlevania SOFTN: Runs fine
Civilization 2: Runs great
Command and Conquer: Red Alert: Runs Great
Dino Crisis 1 and 2: Both of these games will no longer boot. I attached a save state in game from 1.5 perhaps it will help figure out why it is crashing. For me it is not much of an issue cause I can still play both of these games in 1.1 of PSX4droid Tried all tweaks
Dragon Valor: Works much better! Much quicker now
Dragon Warrior 7: Still has pixel explosion. See save state Tried all tweaks
Driver 1 and 2: Work perfect and sound is fixed
Dune 2000: Works perfect
Ehrgeiz: Still slow but sound is better now (Game has always run about 60% speed) Tried all tweaks
Einhander: Works just fine
Eternal Eyes: Works Great
Fear Effect 1:
Fear Effect 2: No visible problems
Final Fantasy 7: Still playable
Final Fantasy 8: Over world map is still too slow in 1.6. Not sure why but 1.1 was fastest (barely) I get around moving by pressing start a lot. If people want to play FF8 I recommend them using 1.1 until they get the garden. Once they get the garden in disc 2 they need to use 1.6 and press tart rapidly as they move. Finish disc 2 and the start of disc 3 ASAP without dicking around and then in disc 3 switch back to 1.1 until the end of the game. If Ragarok gives them issues they should gain swap to 1.6 but it should not. Tried all tweaks
Final Fantasy 9: Works the same as in 1.5. Has some freeze points but easily skipped on the PC. Only happens about once per disc not a huge issue.
Final Fantasy Tactics: Works Perfectly
Front Mission 3: UGH It works better now! However it still will not load text. If you toggle the SPU tweak in 1.6 it sometimes shows some text. Not enough to play the game. Also if you bring up the PSX4droid settings and go back to the game it will stay black. I am attaching you save states with photos which show the position and the game and the issue. Tried all tweaks
Grandia: No problems
Gran Turismo: Works great
Gran Turismo 2: Works great
Hoshigami-Ruining the Blue Earth: Works and no one has heard of this game so why do I even bother
Hot Shots Golf: Sound improvement makes this relaxing
Jade Cocoon: Works great
Legend of Dragoon: Works Great
Legend of Legaia: Sound is improved but it has slowed to about 50% and has not stopped some of the random glitches present in the game. Anyone who wants to play this should do so on 1.1 for the time being. Tried all tweaks
Lunar 1: Works great
Lunar 2: Works great
