[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ff7fan4eva:
Wow can't believe this thread still has basic issues like this, I'm gonna create a thread with instructions and some FAQs for this version of psxperia.... If yifanlu lets me, lemme know
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sniper Spr3e:
is there an updated compatibility list or a list anyone can edit and add to since the github list hasn't really changed over the course of the last few weeks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kingvillain:
I`m a little gutted that GT2 no longer works, also Hogs of wars menus are completely messed up (but game play appears to be fine), however those games that are working are great:

Destruction Derby 2 (perfect but no music)

Granturismo (Perfect even with analogue controls!)

Micromachines V3 (perfect)

Mortal Kombat 4 (Perfect)

Mortal Kombat Trilogy (near perfect, just the odd slow down but rare)

Pandemonium 2 (works fine but has some graphic glitches)

Rayman (works, has some minor graphics bugs also does not seem full speed)

Resident Evil Directors cut (Perfect)

Street Fighter the movie (cheesey but works perfect)

Vanishing Point (Perfect)

Smack Down 2: Know your role (Perfect)

Some that failed:

Tobal No. 1 (started fine but then went to just a few colours lines in the menu and never recovers despite sounding to be running fine behind it)

Italian Job (works but very laggy and sound is messed up)

Jackie Chan Stuntmaster (never get passed the studio logo)

NGen Racing (Screen goes black after selecting a plane)

Samurai Showdown III (works but lags a lot)

Tomb Raider 2 (selecting Lara`s home or choosing new game results in black screen)

Gonna be testing more soon :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sniper Spr3e:
im going to dig all my old ps1 games out that dont need to use l2 or r2 and try to convert them at one point.

need to start expanding the list of compatibility

hope some others join in
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kingvillain:
Your concern does not need to be games that use L2 and R2 since the emulator can cater for them using the right button setup, it`s L3 and R3 that are the problem as the emu does not support them, so Ape Escape is out of the question even though it runs great, but the lack of those two buttons causes quite a problem.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sniper Spr3e:
gonna have to look through them all and find ones that dont l3/r3 not that i remember any of them having really besides ape escape actually but have to have look
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Hogwarts:
Is 2.0 less stable than previous releases?

What do you guys recommend I use for general gaming and not bug testing

Thanks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Purevulcan0:
Im using PSXperia 1.0 and a Xperia Play R800at running Gingerbread 2.3.3 and PSXperia ran fine no errors or anything at all, I uploaded to my phone and I tried starting it up and it comes on then closes, everytime, even tried restarting my phone by that didnt help. Does anyone know what going on?

P.S. I was trying to run Myst.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sniper Spr3e:
just thought i would update ive tested a few games

first of:

android:2.3.3

psxeria:1.0

crash 1.0.1 eu

crash 3 warped works fine as a control

dave mirra bmx worked with software rendering otherwise it seemed to stutter

firebugs worked

disney Hercules worked

kula world worked

jersey devil did not work just black screen no sound
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Hogwarts:
edited: I got the crash.apk to use program.

Anyways I tested Crash Team Racing NTSC so far

It's running perfectly
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Hogwarts:
Tested Silent Hill on Xperia play R800X

runs bad. barely playable

alot of visual glitching

Tried on software mode

Also this thing is making me mad

when you slide it open
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] :
im wondering how to get into the internal memory to retrieve the zpak?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] jgzunigah:
Extract tab is disabled

HI.

I download the PSXperia Tool V 2.0 but i can not use that because tha "Extract" tab is disable.

I instaled the Java JRE required for the aplication bur is dosen't work. Could you helpme please?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sniper Spr3e:
no we cant not untill you learn to read the instructions carefully

theres a reason its disabled and it tells you how to enable it if you read
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Tergazzi:
I just wanted to say thanks to the OP for sharing this with us, and for the hard work!! I should be getting my play today **fingers crossed!** and I cant wait to try this, I have already downloaded all the necessary files, minus the crash.apk and the zpak as i dont have the device yet, and i have gotten a few psx iso's ready.

the first 2 games imm gonna try are Destruction derby 2 (US) and Dune 2000 (US), so if anyone has already gotten these to work, let me know how they are.

Also i did have a question.... Is it possible once we create the apk for the new game to be played on the xperia play, to share them with one another instead of recreating whats already been done, especially if someone already has a glitch free, good running apk? (Just a thought, maybe a new thread for US and for EUR game downloads or something)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Chivii:
Hey guys, I seem to have ran into a problem that others haven't gotten. I searched the thread but nothing came up.

So, I've used version 1.0 prior to this beta, and for some strange reason the games don't convert at all. I've made sure that the APK file is compatible with PSXperia, and I have followed all steps properly including extracting the data files from the ZPAK again. My program is just stuck on saying "Checking to make sure all files are there"
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mehdi.moha:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kalopc:
Cannot extract APK! java says /home/user/psxperia/data/config (is a directory) :mad:

Pleas help me !!!!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] psxpetey:
Anyone get tombraider 1_2 or parasite eve 2
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Phryxus:
I have tried this tool and I keep getting access denied on Windows 7 - 64 Bit to /config when extracting.

Also, I followed all directions to the letter and when I load my game it shows "updating screen" than flashes back to main menu. Someone suggested restarting the phone and this did not work.

Using the 1.0 tool I successfully extracted my Crash USA without error so I know I'm not using an updated version.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sniper Spr3e:
nope because that is warez (illegal software) as we dont own the rights to redistribute it depending on your countries laws you may not even have the right to create a playable version for your xplay
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Milenko2121:
i used this and it spat out a 500mb apk... shouldnt it be ~5mb?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zaku2s:
maybe you are referring to the zpk file.

there is also an apk file which is around 5mb
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Milenko2121:
no, the converted file was a 500mb apk, same exact size as the data folder it spit out.

i tried installing it and after 10 minutes i got a force close, and it showed the game there, but when i tried playing it, it closed(yes i copied the data over to the sd)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Phryxus:
Same here. I've looked at tons of answers and cant seem to pinpoint what I do wrong. The game I'm doing is on the compat list.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] johnylim:
I've converted :

- R-type Delta

- Oddworld Abe's Oddysee

- Omega Boost

All working great, graphic and fps was so smooth, far better than FPSE. :D

Oh almost forgot, i have problem when changing the icon with PSXPERIA 2.0, maybe some other people had the same problem, so i share the tips here.

Im using the other way to change icon, i overwriting icon.png at "data\res\drawable\ " everytime i want to convert, dont need to attach icon again on PSXPERIA 2.0 app, just hit convert button and it will work.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 1stymdroiduser:
:confused: silent hill runs perfect with software rendering on me..

2.3.3 converted on psxperia 1.0
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] FixB:
Tried Metal Gear Solid: does not seem to work past the screen title :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Phryxus:
After tons of trial and error, I got it working flawless.

Games Tested:

Colony Wars - Perfect

Doom - Won't boot past loading... Perhaps a bad image

Resident Evil 3 - Black screen past Warning Label, most likely a bad rip by me as it doesn't work in epsxe either
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] FixB:
Tested :

Castlevania Chronicles : not working

Chrono Trigger : seems to start working, but fails at the beginning of the game

Chrono Cross : not working

Klonoa : seems to be working :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] spazmochad:
Ripped all my game awhile back using CloneCD in .ccd/.img/.sub format, finally paid off!

To get them on the Xperia I'm mounting in Virtual Clone Drive and ripping into .bin for PSXperia. I guess sub-channel data is lost which is going to cause problems with copy protected games.

Anyhow, my list of working games (all PAL):

Die Hard Trilogy (HW)

Gran Turismo (HW)

Tomb Raider 3 (HW)

Twisted Metal 2 (HW)

Not working:

Ace combat 3 (major sound problems)

Wip3out (crashes during first race after passing through laser thingy)

Worms Armageddon (HW graphics glitches, SW crashes)

Will continue to test, 60 more to go :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sniper Spr3e:
so you can convert .bin files successfully aswell i have only been using .iso files as i have loads of .bin back-ups i assumed wouldnt work
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] stewart1988:
Yer I noticed this... Must be something different between the EU and US version of the emulator :(

Lets hope yifanlu can get the EU version working and we can get some full screen games... :p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] yifanlu:
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. 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!

I won't be proving support, fixing bugs, or managing the github pages anymore. Sorry. If you want to take over the project, just fork the project on github and I'll redirect the page to the best branch.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Zerobarat1:
So how the heck do you enable tabs to work :). I see it's like a damn secret.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] daymo:
Thanks for your work on this app, it has been appreciated, hopefully someone with the same sort of skill will continue it. .....
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kingvillain:
It is a shame to see you leave the project and the phone, however all the work you have done is very much appreciated, you gave us our freedom with this native emulator and we are forever greatful, thankyou.

As an additional note I have tested some more games using hardware rendering option:

Oddworld Abe Odysee (perfect)

Back street billiards (perfect)

Duke Nukem time to kill (perfect, even plays his smart ass remarks)

Hydro Thunder (perfect but announcer and music not playing in race, all othe SFX work though).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] crash_b.:
Thanx for the time and effort spent on this.

Which phone will you be using in the future? iPhone? ;)

Since you don't have much better options if you leave Android...

Blackberry, Nokia, Windows :(

even i dint like SE skin on android but. with android you can always CUSTOMIZE it the way you want =|

I don't see that as an issue.

But thanks for all your support to your project =)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mformitchell:
wow i love this app, naow i can play ps1 games on my Xplay
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Zerobarat1:
SOme help with post #300. I read that guide several times and I still don't understand how in good god's name I can switch tabs to Extrat.

On-topic: I don't find SE's skin to be ugly at all, I actually love it, just that it's way too bloated.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] daymo:
Lol.... It took me 5 minutes to realise what I had to do to get the tabs to work.....
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AgniPyro:
Just check all the boxes and select -Yifan Lu as if your going to copy.

I've made some icons to use

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] psxpetey:
im starting to agree with yifan luu there, the lack of content on the xperia play is actually mind boggling plus having to (when pssuite FINALLY launches) by all your ps games again is a huge pile of bull luckily i dont have many but id be really pissed if i did. pssuite better be F***** awesome and desert sands better hurry up plus all the branding and skins and MASSIVE amounts of bloatware is a huge pain. at least you can remove them when rooted unlike ios where ure stuck with em
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LeoBryce:
I have a question I hope someone can help me out with.

I've only seen one person on this site have this problem which he posted about in the old thread that this one was moved from. I messaged him before bothering you guys with a post but he said he never got it figured out and just stuck with the emulators instead of PSXperia. Soo, here it is:

I've done everything up to the point where I've opened the PSXperia Tool, clicked the extract tab, placed the "com.sony.playstation.ncua94900_1.apk" in the correct place, then placed the "NCUA94900_1_1.zpak" in the correct place (both of these files were copied directly from phone using Root Explorer).

The problem is when I hit "Extract" after the bar works its way about a quarter of the way up it says

"Cannot extract APK! Java says unexpected EOF"

I've tried going through the steps again, I've tried updating Java, I've tried using the 1.0 PSXperia Tool as well as the 2.0, I've tried finding the answer everywhere online, aaand I've tried banging my head against a wall for 30 minutes.

No luck :(

I'd appreciate any help or advice and I apologize if I'm in the wrong place or if I somehow missed this question being answered already.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] psxpetey:
You need the USA version of the apk I masthead same problem till I got it
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] psxpetey:
How do I get analog working I pressed the allow analog but when I go in psxperia it won't let me allow analog
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LeoBryce:
I should have the USA version of the apk, I bought my phone straight from my service provider and I live in the US. Unless I'm mistaken?

How can you tell if you have the wrong apk if it came directly from your phone?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] yifanlu:
I had always used iPhone before, but I had decided to switch to Android. But after using the Play for three months, I find myself missing the iPhone. At first I thought it was just because I was used to the iPhone, so I would give myself more time, but I think three months is enough to find that a relationship isn't working out. And android was just one factor. I think the biggest factor was the lack of content for the play. The phone has been out for a year, and it's about time we'll be seeing Xperia Play 2. If there's no good content now, there won't be. If the Play 2 is any better, I might come back.

Plus, I don't know how good PSSuite will be. I'm in the beta for it, and while it's a neat idea, I see that the platform is more tailored for the indie community (like microsoft xna) than for big name developers. Once PSSuite comes out, it will be just another android "market". Sony will hopefully release more PSX games and some original content, but gaming-wise, it won't be as good as the PS Vita (which can also run PS Suite games).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Zerobarat1:
Lol this feels like trolling :). I found myself since coming to the Play a week ago that it's actually bursting with content :-s. Every android game is more or less optimized for xperia play. At this hour the xperia play is probabily the best android gaming phone or to be more precise the only real gaming phone out there that including iPhone and others.

Also, how is an expensive piece like an iPhone any better than a droid that has a 4 inch screen?! I couldn't bear myself to switch to an iphone which bearly has a 3.5 inch screen and it's more expensive than any droid out there.

Sure android isn't as well built as iOS and usually android devices are made of lower quality materials especially SE devices :P.

Conclusion : High-end SMARTPHONE ( and the iPhone isn't one without jailbreaking it) with 3.5 inch screen is no High-end. CASE CLOSED!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] psxpetey:
@LeoBryce it has like an extra 0 or 1 at the end of the version I forget but if it doesn't work then you have the wrong one
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Just Cause 2:

Is anyone able to get Worlds Scariest Police chases .APK working for the emulator please, I've not got a clue as to how to get it off my disk and too an app.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nhialor:
It's pretty simple...use alcohol to turn it to an ISO then follow the instructions.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SWFlyerUK:
Can't find my PS1 disks at home which I assume you rip off? - so downloaded a .ECM file from the net, converted to a .ISO but it just hangs at "checking files... etc etc"

I assume it's an issue with the .ISO, I'll buy some PS1 games and give it a go, hope it works!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SWFlyerUK:
Ok - I'd like some help if possible please.

I've followed the instructions, and have the .APK extracted aswell as the correct .ZAPK.

I've got Worlds Scariest Police Chases disk ripped off using Alchol as a .mds and a .iso, but even though I'm also testing .ISO's, I'm still getting hung at "Checking to make sure all files are there"

Any ideas please, as this hasn't moved past this stage for me at all, perhaps it's the .ZAPK, in the folder for me there's 8 .ZAPK files.

Regards.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SWFlyerUK:
Managed to get so far now - I'm trying PSXPeria 1.0 and 2.0 Beta.

1.0 = "Cannot build APK! Java says: Executable did not return without error!"

2.0 = "Cannot build APK! Java say: Cannot find list to validate files!"

Telling me for 1.0 that in cn.xml, no resource could be found at; TextView android:textAppearance="@android:style/ArchosProgressSliderVertical"

Always one thing - I sort one out and then get another, any ideas please as I'm at a loose end with this one?

I think you have to turn the ECM to BIN with a little program called unECM

Also i just converted Winning Eleven 2002 and it works flawlessly :D good times
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SWFlyerUK:
Was Winning Eleven 2002 an ECM to BIN conversion?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mauaus:
that was another game but im pretty sure its ECM to BIN not ISO what i did
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Just Cause 2:
Any answer here? -.-

I was told that PSExperia only works ing .BIN and IMG files.

I wonder why these companies (capcom, konami, etc) dont just release all these classic games on the market, dont think it would be too much trouble

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
I actually agree with this post (especially the bursting with content part... as someone who's trying to manage a list of all the Xperia PLAY content, it's kinda overwhelming to keep track of it all) and, as someone who's also coming from iPhone, there's no way in hell I'll ever go back to that OS... just installing Espier to make Android look like iPhone almost made me puke... but to each his own.

Thanks a lot for all the good you've done for the community!
