thx yufinlu

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for thanks, I can tell you you deserved mine But you have a very particular set of skills; skills I dont acquired over a very long career. Skills that make xperia play epic . If you let psxperia go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kiss you..

goodluck:good:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Xperia_Play Gamer:
Hey I want to use this too but I have rooted my phone and got a new rom etc.

And I forgot to make a backup of the crash bandicoot apk...

And if you want to use this tool you need it..

So, can someone send me the apk and zpak of Crash Bandicoot cause I can´t find it somewhere..

And almost all of you got it on your phone..

So please help me..

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] CTU_Loscombe:
It's against the rules as it's classed as warez unfortunately. You'll have to look elsewhere for those files

Edit: Meant to quote the guy above me
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
As far as I remember you can get it back, but you would have to flash the stock firmware the phone came with, as that has the game on it.

I forget where the thread that had the firmwares is though.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BensJammin:
IIRC It also depends on what firmware as they patched crash for 2.3.4 didn't they? I think you need a specific version

Sent from my 1.8ghz Xperia Play!

Megaman Legends-Megaman Legends 2 issues.

Hi, the title says it all really. For the past two weeks I have been trying to convert all forms of these two games through both the 1.0 and 2.0 beta version of the psxperia tool. I always end up getting an error message stating. "apk could not be found: Java says: Executable did not return without error." Or something to that extent. Any advice? I have even tried booting it from the original disc itself.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] RaidenMGR:
Never heard of this error ill try it my self once i get the games and ill let you know...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] RaidenMGR:
prestoncolby seems like you are doing something wrong...not only i converted it with 0 errors but its playable too right now im playing it,megaman legends 1 i dont have 2 yet to test it but i will soon,so you gotta give me some more info on which firmware you are on and what data files you have on your PSXperia to help you out.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zero995:
Thanks it's so easy to work
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] danaiudo:
Can Psxperia tool work on other Xperia devices such as Xperia S or Xperia Z ?

Thank you
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] D.Spirit:
Yes the converted games will run on Xperia S and Z

but

you will not be able to play because converted games require Xperia Play gamepad
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
One could just edit the config xml file to enable the onscreen controls (disabled by default), no?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Unfortunately untrue :( converted games have only ever been able to run on Xperia Play and will not run on Xperia S and definitely not on Z (Z has other permission as has only ever had PSM and not the older PS suite which had PS1 games for sale).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] D.Spirit:
That's impossible because PS1 games are old and don't support onscreen controls without an emulator.

Actually I didn't try out but I thought converted games could run on other devices than XP

Thanks for correction.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vokal1992:
yes, you can edit the xml to use on screen buttons
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] danaiudo:
Thank you for your answers.

Xperia Play is still the best one for playing PS1, right ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
Untrue. PS1 games using the official emulator had the option for onscreen controls.

Infact, this is from the preferences xml file:

<boolean name="On Screen Controller" value="false" />
<string name="On Screen Controller Type Landscape">Type 1</string>
<string name="On Screen Controller Type Portrait">Type 1</string>
<string name="On Screen Controller Color Landscape">Color 1</string>
<string name="On Screen Controller Color Portrait">Color 1</string>
<boolean name="On Screen Controller Vibrator" value="true" />
<string name="On Screen Controller Transparency 0" value="100" />
<string name="On Screen Controller Transparency 1" value="100" />
<string name="On Screen Controller Transparency 2" value="50" />
<string name="On Screen Controller Scale 0" value="100" />
<string name="On Screen Controller Scale 1" value="100" />
<string name="On Screen Controller Scale 2" value="100" />
<string name="On Screen Controller Scale 3" value="100" />

So other Xperia models that could once purchase PS1 games from the store like the Xperia PLAY -may- have the ability to play converted games also. Impossible to say for sure as I don't have one of these handsets.

Definitely. PSXPeria is imperfect but when a game does run, I find that it generally runs much smoother and with less lag/other issues than with unofficial emus like ePSXe or FPse. This will be the case because Sony had all the original source code to develop the emulator whereas devs working on unofficial emus would have had to reverse engeneer and use hacks to get close to the same result. That and the official emulator for the Xperia PLAY was built and tested with one set of hardware in mind, whereas unofficial emus are more of a one-size fits all thing.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] danaiudo:
Now I am interested in Xperia Z that have playstation certified to instead of Xperia play in my hand. How can I convert PS1 game to play on it without FPse or ePSXe like Xperia play ? (By Psxperia tool or other technics)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] xzafa:
Definitely it's great. However since I upgrade to 2.3.4 I'm pretty sure my games are rendered blurry than before so I'm trying FPSE for now until I figure out what is it that cause this yes? I heard is good too.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Flaîm:
i hate fpse for having retardedly bad sound emulation.

but psxperia isn't that much better with all of its video emulation issues even with software emulation :/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] xzafa:
Is it really that bad? There are a bunch of good working titles no?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Flaîm:
depending on which one you mean.

fpse sound is - for me at least, while the psxperia bugs are just slightly exaggerated.

when setting psxp to software mode most of them vanish, but i'm getting a strange border around the game window.

the only REAL bug i've seen so far was in digimon world 1 when giromon drops his bomb. the screen get lots of artifacts that disappear after restarting the game.

Tomba (SCES-01330) graphic glitch problem

I have tested Tomba aka Tombi with the Europe Version of crash bandicoot and it works but after I startet the game I couldn´t see the character. So I turned ON boolean name="SW-render" value="false" into true but after I have done that the game won´t open and crashed and I can´t do anything to fix the glitch can you help me out ? :confused:

Converted using Crash Bandicoot 1.0.3 (com.sony.playstation.ncua94900_1.apk and NCUA94900_1_1.zpak)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pandasouljah:
Oh yeah! Good one :-)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nabeel_Nabs:
I can confirm that donwloading the USA crash bandicoot apk and using its zpak allows psxperia to work on a UK r800i ( i did not try with the original due to the amount of people saying it did not work).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drunkenfcuk:
Works for me anyway :p Just hit that thanks button ;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
Nope, because that would be like distributing the game /iso. If you just install it and click on the apk from your phone you will get your zpak.

Also, crash 3 works verrry strangely, if you have auto save and continue on it you get strange artifacts that will be there until you reset. Pics to follow tomorrow. I tried it with both USA and European iso.

Also one thing that is keep bugging me is going that screen should be up to the edges in the European version, but with 1.0.3 USA crash its like the NTSC one. Crash 2 doesn't have this problem btw. And only once I did make the crash 3 work normally... But after deleting the saves it stopped working =//
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GregarGX:
Where Can I find the USA zpak ??
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Enkeixpress:
Upon launching the game, it'll download the USA version of the game's zpak.

The zpak itself can then be found in the "android" folder, where the game was installed.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] doubleluckstur:
Have you tried the rendering trick in the xml file? Can't really remember the correct terms... but I had that on 2.3.3 and once I turned the rendering to true those issues ceased to exist
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nabeel_Nabs:
ITs called sw rendering and there's a link to a tutorial for it in the first post.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Pandasouljah:

Ok, updated the binary to support Tablet S Europe version. Note that I do not have a tablet, so please send me logs of it not working. 1.0.3 EUR is not yet fixed, I'll get there eventually. Also, I need people to test CB 1.0.1 on their 2.3.3 or under phones just to be sure I didn't break the previous version.

And again, if you read the first post, I will not provide support in the forums. All bugs go to github, and I will not help anyone without a log attached.

First off all, and once again, thanks yifanlu... Its working, but only on US version.

- Un-installed original Crash with Titanium

- Manualy deleted EUR Crash folder

- Installed Crash US version from CAT (Thank you as well)

- Downloaded the files trough wi-fi (US files)

- Used that Zpack and CAT APK version to extract files, and Tekken 3 was running great with all default settings...

Will try more games, and change settings, if I find errors will report...

Perfect.... Its because off guys like you, I love my Xperia Play even more

Tested games&working:

- Tekken 3

- Resident Evil 3

I'm testing Tomb Raider [Greatest Hits] but so far it has hung on me when it was going into the game. We'll see if I can figure out how to get past it or not.

I get paid Friday and I plan to donate a bit then. What is the typical donation amount for this sort of thing?

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drunkenfcuk:
As I've already stated, all anyone needs to do is download the APK, install and run the application, and it will prompt you to download the extra data, in the form of the ZPAK file. No one needs to upload it!

ok i havent seen this before, thx.

So there is no need to upload it and it is also forbidden =)

Tekken [SLPS00040] is working but without background music (game contains CDDA audio tracks).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
this is really strange. Crash 3 and CTR dont work well if you press continue (use autosave) , this is what happens :@

really frustrating..

used : USA crash apk 1.0.3 on 4.0.2 WORLD. Craash 3 was European , but i think same ***p happens. Today i also discovered CrashTeamRacing has the same glitch... -______-

SW render is enabled ... (Another note, i enabled SW render with CTR when it was in glitch mode , the game wouldnt start and would 'CRASH' XDD)

Crash 2 USA works perfectly though.

Tony Hawk 1 doesn't work, with or without SW render.

I had not tried it on the previous version of PSXperia.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] doubleluckstur:

Crash Team Racing - Works fine

You know, that would actually be a smart idea, I don't know why, lol.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drunkenfcuk:
Anyone else tried Final Fantasy 7? It worked flawlessly for me in the previous version of PSXperia, with or without SW rendering. But in this version, I get a graphical glitch in the menus (see attached), in that the character faces don't show up properly. I've tried SW rendering on or off, but it's exactly the same. So far as I can tell, everything else seems to work ok, so it's not a major show-stopper. Just a bit annoying!

CTR USA [SCUS94426] works great here, even with continue from the emulator settings...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] revoluxon:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ff7fan4eva:
Well I ripped my UK version of ff7 and everythings fine except for the framing being off a bit and a weird band on black backgrounds but I think that's due to an NTSC emu running a PAL game
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drunkenfcuk:
I might try re-ripping it in PSXperia and see if it makes any difference. Like I say, not a major issue, but being as it's Final Fantasy 7, I'd prefer it be perfection, much like the game itself :p

Its probably an incorrectly formatted png. Try putting it into paint , saving it as a jpeg and then opening the jpeg up in paint and then saving it as a png.

After using the USA apk that was uploaded here and trying out megaman X4 I can't get it to work.

I tried looking into the logcat thing but it seems to complicated to me :( Anyone care to explain it in noobie terms?

zpak

hi,

can anyone upload the usa zpak? please? i have the same error when the games starts ,black screen ...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] netizenmt:
Yeah, but...

Question: Wouldn't posting the APK be just as much a form of stealing and distributing the game, since without it, you wouldn't have access to the .ZPAK either?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] netorino:
It wasn't working before either, it crashed when trying to open a map after choosing player/board/wheels. It's too bad since it's my favourite PSOne game.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] andrewe1:
Can the damn thing even run on non-xperia play devices? Even if it did I don't think the controls would work... and since it comes preinstalled in pretty much every single xperia device then you can't steal what everybody already owns :p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] netizenmt:
Right - that's my point entirely. If you can put up the APK for Crash Bandicoot because all the Xperias have it anyway, then putting up the ZPAK, while not necessary, also wouldn't be pirating anything.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

Before jumping through these hoops, check to see if your extension is .PNG or .png. I found that if it was in CAPS, PSXPeria would tell me it was an invalid format. Just by changing it to lowercase, they would work.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ricosuavez35:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ff7fan4eva:
FF7 uk randomly slows down every so often, if you go to menu it gets back to full speed
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drunkenfcuk:
My point about just installing the APK itself and downloading the ZPAK when it prompts you to on the first run of the game, was more to do with saving someone here the bother of having to upload it, and encouraging people to just read the thread and find out that it's all you have to do. So, just to reiterate...

Install the US Crash 1.0.3 APK, launch the game, you'll be prompted to download extra content, and voila - you now have the ZPAK!

It's not rocket science. I'm just fed up of people just coming on here and saying "Please upload the zpak!!" It's just lazy, because they obviously haven't bothered to read any of the thread :mad:

END RANT.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] netizenmt:
Yeah, I totally agree with you there. I was just poking fun about the copyright police narc.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Bob's Your Uncle:
Big thanks to the author for a great emulator. I was just wondering... probably a silly idea, but would it be possible to emulate the vibration function in this? I mean, FPSE has it. Sorry if asking too much...

Anyway, it's now working for me, I used the US apk and zpak files.

My observations so far:

Need for Speed V-Rally 2 (US) - works but some sound glitches (no music, no co-driver voice - this makes driving a bit too hard considering it's a rally game LOL)

Lunar 2 Eternal Blue - crashes after the first anime cut-scene, right when the gameplay is supposed to begin.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] crash_b.:
I already reported this on github, but i guess i didn't explained it well enough :(

Some PSX games where released as multimode cd's.

They contained 1 data track and multiple audio tracks.

If you convert those games with psxperia the audio tracks are not working :(

For example, Tomb Raider, Ridge Racer, Tekken, Soul Blade and many more.

The official Wipeout PSX classic from the android market is also a multimode cd and it's working great with sound :D

This means it can be achieved, the converting process has to include those separate audiotracks (the exact length and position of those tracks are in the cue or ccd file).

PSXPeria doesn't do that, therefore those games run without some audiotracks.

It's a similar problem in the early days of popstation for the PSP, which was later fixed by Tinnus who developed the CDDA fix or TOC converter.
