[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] yifanlu:
Update: (01/06/2012) I've decided to sell my Xperia play and discontinue all my work on the platform. Like SE, I lost interest in the Play because of the lack of games and a general lack of content. Also, I cannot stand Android anymore, especially SE's skin. I was looking forward for ICS, but after seeing SE put their skin on that too, I won't want to deal with it anymore. As for PSXperia, I have always released the source and documents for everything I release. I also have a few writeups on reverse engineering the psx emulator on my site. I will no longer be providing support for PSXperia and won't be managing the bug reports on github. Again, everything is open source and under GPL, so anyone can pick up where I left off (for example, improving the UI, future emulator compability, etc). I hope the project won't die!

Ok, so I decided to create a new thread for two reasons. First, I started that thread before I created PSXPeria to throw around ideas with developers and stuff, but now it's a beta test and I need feedback from regular users, not just developers. Secondly, not everyone can post in the developer section and not all users browse the developer section. So with a new release, I'll make a new thread. Hope the mods are ok with this.

Anyways, if you don't know what PSXPeria is, it's a tool that allows you to convert PSX games to work with Sony's emulator that is included with Crash Bandicoot. That way, you can play any PSX game using Sony's emulator.

How is this better than FPSE/psx4driod?

-PSXPeria is free and open source

-PSXPeria compresses ROMs

-PSXPeria supports the touchpads

-PSXPeria is SOMETIMES more compatible (and sometimes not)

-PSXPeria games show up in the playstation pocket app

-PSXPeria sometimes renders more smooth

What do I need to run PSXPeria Tool?

Compatibility

Sometimes, a game will work MUCH better (like from unplayable quality to perfect) if you enable software rendering. More details here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220541

Tablet S/P

I don't have a Sony Tablet, so I can't test anything tablet related. I'll try to write patches for the tablet's emulator but I have no idea if it works or not. If anyone wants to donate a sony tablet to me, I wouldn't mind developing for it more. (I also have some ideas for unlocking it that I want to try).

"This APK is not supported."

If you get this, I need to manually write a patch for that APK. Currently, I will only do this for Crash Bandicoot 1.0.3 and higher. Send me a copy of the APK and I'll include a patch for it in the next release.
