Frequently Asked Questions

Do i need root?

No although you should root your phone anyway!

What rom do i need to be on?

2.3.4 stock or any 2.3.4 stock based rom (DFR etc.)

Do i need a xperia play?

yes this will only work on the xperia play

Does this work on CDMA versions of the play?

if they are running 2.3.4 it most likely will but not if they are on 2.3.3

Do i need a Crash Bandicoot APK?

No

Do i need a Crash Bandicoot ZPAK?

No

Do i need any other files other than the files in OP?

You only need Java JRE installed and of course the ISO of the game you want to convert

What is needed to use a custom icon?

you need to have the image in .png format and no larger than 170px by 170px

Who do we thank for this?

Yifan Lu - for PSXperia

poo-tang - for the files (some of them)

Fma965 - for the video tutorial, tutorial and testing

Masters2150 - for the tutorial and testing

the project is revived ! Awesommmmmmmmmmmmm
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ParanormalBat:
So from what I get you are saying that the UK Crash Bandicoot now works with PSXperia 2.0?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
no we are saying that the zip included in OP has the files needed from the us crash apk. to make it work on any stock 2.3.4 rom.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:
You don't need to rip ANYTHING from a APK or ZPAK, the zip file has everything you need, just choose your ISO and away you go.

What I meant when I said UK version, poo-tang posted those saying it gets the UK version working, what he didn't know, is it helps get them all working.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
java says cannot find valid files

i left the apk file alone in the extract tab

EDIT: RE=READ the whole post,sorry for not reading it the first time..im so spoiled :P will be back to see how the game works
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
I'd do anything to be able to play Soul Reaver. my god.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
not sure what your actually saying here lol. but you have a point

(PLEASE READ the whole post before posting questions or complaints :D)

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

then follow the guide above :) it might work
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
I tried with the last psxperia version, I'll try again with this one hoping to get it going :) the apk didn't even start to compile if I'm not mistaken.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
i originally thought that this File of PSXPERIA did not require the apk/zpaks.

Then i re-read the whole post saying it doesnt contain any of apk/zpaks, and then i discovered the Crash files were still needed.

I have the Crash USA 103,when i used the PSXPERIA.jar ,it started decoding values,and once it was finished (it finished rather quickly than usual) i went to the output folder and found a ps1_rom.bin ... was this suppose to happen?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sniper Spr3e:
i wouldnt say revivied he simply took the converter from yifanlu and used a data file iploaded by poo-tang and but them in a zip together and shared it.

no "actual under the hood work" i.e programing has taken place from what i gather which means the project is still officially dead in the water.

please if im wrong correct me and tell me your taking psxperia under your wing and improving it and will make it ice cream sandwich compatible when the times ready but it seems unlikely from what you wrote earlier.

also nearly everyone else with non-us xplays has been using this method since pootang uploaded the files if you read the forums.

but i can always hope im wrong and your taking over.

on a side note ive taken a look at the psxperia and its way beyond my reach to get it working at the moment thought might give it a try with ice cream sandwich
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
it doesnt need the apk files or the zpak files just skip the extraction steps and go straight to the convert tab.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
that didnt work
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:
Please remember, DO NOT TOUCH THE EXTRACT TAB.

You don't need to extract ANYTHING. Just tell it which ISO to load, put in your settings, name id, etc. And Press CONVERT.

Try redownloading it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
we don't claim to be releasing this as our own nor do we take full credit we merely take credit for joining the files and writing this tutorial clearly you havent been to the Q&A recently constantly people are trying to get psxperia working but fail. now we can redirect them to this page and hopefully more people will have working psxperia.

AGAIN WE ARE NOT CLAIMING TO BE DOING MORE THAN WE HAVE DONE.

WE MERELY WROTE A TUTORIAL AND ZIPPED SOME FILES ASWELL AS TESTED

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

hmm maybe the upload didnt work correctly i will test this and get back to you.

EDIT: it works fine first accept the checkboxes then highlight the guys name then skip the extraction tab and go to the convert tab simply add the name of the game, description etc if you want and select the iso for the game in the psx box. simples ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:
Well me and Fma965 have been looking everywhere for things like this. But no one seemed either know, care, or bother helping. I had a post bumping for like a week and NOTHING. Where were people like you who had this info when we needed it?

I saw other people with the same problem. Either no one replied, or no one knew what to do.

So we decided to put together a complete package to get it working.

We are NOT DEVELOPERS. We simply chose to do this to help people like outselves out.

We are not trying to take credit for ANYTHING. When we ask to press the thanks button, it's for people who couldn't find this kind of information and we helped them out by making a new post, and including everything they needed.

Is doing this wrong in any way?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
I can't get it to work. First of all, it doesn't extract from the crash apk and zapk; it even said "the output directory is not empty". I tried to compile soul reaver anyway. It seems to go fine, then when the bar is at the end it suddenly goes back, stays still for a while, and then gives an error: executable did not return without error.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
i had this problem with devil dice is the game your trying to convert a ISO? if not thats most likely why. i am making a video soon so hope that helps
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:
Try deleting the output directory. It should recreate it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dany XP:
Up :o:o
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Ireas:
Anyone tried this tool with other certified Devices like the Xperia S or de Tablet S ?

Getting "APK was not installed" was not installed errors on the Xperia S.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] imkentoy:
Boss what about "img" downloaded from the website, can i use it to convert?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] psxpetey:
That is the best format to convert
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] harlzden:
anyone got psxperia working on the icecream sandwich beta rom?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:
It will probably never work on ICS since no devs are willing to take over the project.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
for th second time. A iso and img are the same you can change the extension to each other.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] lucil13:
i have tried some and succeed,

Brave Fencer Musashi

Final Fantasy Tactics

Gran Turismo

Harvest Moon Back To Nature

Marvel vs Capcom

MEtal Slug X

Silent Hill

Suikoden II

Tales of Destiny
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] psxpetey:
Well then just dont use bin durrrrr
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] lucil13:
I have tried to convert image files in three formats, .iso, ccd/img/sub, and bin/cue.

.iso and .ccd/.img/.sub extension files may contain some problems, such as no sound at FMV, the game would not be loaded, and there might be some graphic glitches.

So, i try to convert those image files into .bin/.cue and now they works perfectly. So, if your image files that has been converted cannot work properly, try to convert it into .bin/.cue. I converted them by using MagicIso, just choose the Tools tool strip menu and choose convert, and the rest i assume you can do it by yourself.

Regards
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] psxpetey:
Magic iso is definitley a must when playing around with roms amazing tool ! Has anyone bought any of the other psx android games? Maybe the emus in those coukd create more compatibility
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TehTimeb0mb:
Games do not work on ICS
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Well already known but thanks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] talzer:
stucked at no data found in digimon rumble arena,

can anyone guide me? thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:
Did you try a different image format like others have tried?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] talzer:
can elaborate more?

u mean convert to .iso?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Try a. Bin or ISO or img
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] psxpetey:
.bin sucks img or iso best
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Not really as it depends on the game!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:

Destruction Derby SCUS-94302 Woks fine :)

Defauts parametres : Perfect !
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:
I really am wondering if I should upgrade to ics, would be a shame to lose psxperia.

I don't know what it offers better. I have great battery life, good speed, good compatibility. What more could you want?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] $uicide$quad:
Yes, PSXPERIA is a great tool , It's great to use Playstation Poket APP with games, i's sometimes nicer than FPse and it's compatible with Analog pad sometimes.

But FPse is more compatible.......

For example, Tekken 3 Crash after firts Battle or gran turismo 2crash at menu changes but it works with FPse....

Using these 2 APP is the best way.

.

Destruction Derby 2 SLES-00299 WOrks fine with defaut config but no Music.

(Like FPse)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
i dont see the point of psxperia now as FPSE can be used along with gamekeyboard or joycenter and then trouchpads would work on fpse.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:
Some games just work better on psxperia.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] seuf:
Tested and working perfectly :) :

- Gran Turismo

- Motoracer

- Oddworld Abe's Exodus

- GTA 2

- Tomb Raider 4

Tested and not working (crash) :( :

- WipeOut

- WipeOut 3

- WipeOut 2097

- Need For Speed 2
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Selrisitai:
Well, I put Ape Escape in there and it ran smoothly, cut-scenes and all, with only extremely minor glitches that were so frivolous as to be effectively nonexistent.

Problem? The analog pad. The LEFT side of the pad works fine, but somehow, the right side has a glitch:

If you slide your finger to the right side of the pad, he WALKS instead of running, regardless of how far you slide your finger. You also cannot swing his weapon, with the right analog pad, to the right, but you can swing it up, left and down.

Here's the weird part: If you swing his weapon to the left, and hold, he'll hold his weapon to the ground, as it was programmed to do, but you can then slide your finger around to the right side, and he will spin to the right, as if the right side is working perfectly. (Perhaps it is because it is not flicking, or moving all the way, which is required to swing his weapon, but it is tilting enough to have him turn)

Anyway, that SUCKS. I've been wanting to play this, and it runs perfectly! That is the ONLY problem with it. Argh!

i tried resident evil 2 whenever i start the game on my xperia ARC it just keep loading on the lisence is get renewed ...what should i do ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] MilkyJoePD:
Does this work in Ubuntu?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] acocalypso:
Any way to get it working on ICS?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Solar.Plexus:
We would need the Crash Bandicoot app to be extracted from ICS when Sony releases it... oh wait. Sony isn't releasing ICS for our device.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
It's java so yes

Won't work on xperia arc I believe but

Try another game to check. If that works try different image format. Basically trial and error

No not without development from skilled developers and reverse engineering.

Lol
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] MilkyJoePD:
I clicked on the two files it says to, one does nothing, the other (the jar one) just opens Archive Manager. I set them to executable.

Then, after some Google-ing, I tried it in the terminal. It just told me some things about Java.

How do you open it?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] MilkyJoePD:
I got it working. Largely by fluke.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Masters2150:
Sorry to say but besides testing games, there's nothing more to do for psxperia.

With no ICS and play optimized games getting released less and less, the xperia play will soon be done.

The good devs will fix the bugs in their roms then leave them. The bad devs will probably just drop everything.

Like all good misunderstood phones, its past its time and will die slowly.

But not yet, I'll keep my play until rogers boots it off my cold dead contract!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] /b/-TarD:
Guys is there any way to increase the FPS in PSXperia? I am playing RE2, so far its great, but there's the occasional fps drops which is annoying cause its random, have to restart the phone and the fps is fine again.

R800i without overclock, doomkernel with 2.3.7 True Ancestor Minimized v2
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DontExist:
Has anyone actually gotten this to work? When I start converting, the program hang at "checking to see if all the files are there". I have tried several games but they all end the same.

Can someone give me a link to an already converted game?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DontExist:
Is there a site I can go to that has these converted or"psxperia optimized"?

if so can some one pm me a link? There used to be one on epforums, but they all linked to megaupload..yikes!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Your clearly doing something wrong. Try again.. No links will be given as that is WAREZ AND NOT ALLOWED

PROBABLY BUT AS IT IS WAREZ AND NOT ALLOWED NOT TO MENTION ILLEGAL NO LINK WILL BE MENTIONED.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DontExist:
I gotcha, I'll just keep trying then. Something is bound to go right eventually:)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Jordanooo:
Doesnt mean there isnt one
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DontExist:
It's cool, I'll just keep trying. I prefer to stay out of jail for as long as possible.I didn't like it the last time I was there and I don't think I will like it next time either. Haha
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Lol yep I know but seriously so many people want the games look through previous posts. Either look your self or ask on WAREZ sites not here :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Lol.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] talzer:
can't get Digimon Rumble Arena (stuck at language selection screen) and yu-gioh (no load at all) running on psxperia.

anybody had similar issues, and mind sharing the way to fix it?

thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kami2k:
will it work on htc one x plz?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] iRhyiku:
I get a 0.5second delay when I press something on the controller to it actually hapopening. only happens with PSX games, no other (dead space,shadowgun runs perfect)

Whats causing this?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
no

change image format, change software rendering, game may not be compatible

no idea sorry
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Heero0E:
can anyone please add the apk and zpak files :confused: i accidently delete it
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
you don't need them for this.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Haisook:
What about Sony Tablet S (ICS)?

Hi there. This is a really interesting project. I've tried to reach a conclusion about this, but it's really confusing with all the versions and whatnot. My question is: would psxperia work on Sony Tablet S (ICS, EUR Crash Bandicoot)?

:confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
I'm not sure, but it'd be awesome if you extracted the Crash apk and zpak from the ICS version that you have and put them into PSXperia, converted an ISO game, and see if it works.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
I think not but try it
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Haisook:
Didn't work for Sony Tablet (EUR, ICS)

Well, I extracted both the apk and the zpak, selected them in psxperia v2, but I got an error:

Cannot extract APK! Java says cannot find Config for this APK (CRC32: 734512AE)

I used the EUR apk and zpak.

I can upload the apk if anyone would like to take a look at it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Ah, guess they changed the apk again. It's not compatible with the current version of PSXperia. Someone would have to analyze the new format and create a PSXperia 3.0.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Mumups:
I think it's because you need the US version not the EU ones.

It doesn't work if you use the EU zpak and apk for the xperia play either
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
SE ICS rom brings new security checks for the emulator. Convert whatever you like, it simply won't run using ICS.

Yifan has stated that he has discontinued work on the project. So if you want to use the inbuilt emulator for your games, stick with GB, else use FPse.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
It'd be funny if Samsung was all along working together with Google to create a device like the PLAY but better, and they used all this to undermine Sony. Rofl

Long time reader, first time poster

Hi all,

I just wanted to add some info i've encountered with this wonderful software, as it has definitely allowed me much more joy out of this phone than Sony&Verizon would have allowed me to have otherwise....

1) Final Fantasy Tactics worked great! Played through the whole thing, only a couple minor slowdown issues, but that's it!

2) Final Fantasy 9 - Played through the whole thing, multiple discs and all! There are issues with some sound effects, and sound/music in the cutscenes, but the biggest annoyance was when there were rain effects (for those who know the game, Burmecia is what I'm talking about) that while the rain effects would work, any text that would appear would have a white font with a white background, and make it virtually impossible to read the text. So, I played through past Burmecia, then saved when I got out of that city (based on memorizing where the save menu selections would be), and then reset the game to load up from the save point, and could then finally read the text again. Oh well, it was worth playing that one all the way through though, it was the only FF I hadn't!

For those of you who are concerned about multiple disc games such as this (i'm not sure if this is mentioned somewhere else), I was able to create the APKs and the Data files for each disc, installed disc 1 as per usual (for these games, I usually use Astro because it'll allow me to edit the preference file right there in the program) played through a disc, and then saved on the "memory card" when the disc was done. I then went into the android/data/(com.sony.playstation.whateveryourgameis)/files/save/bunchofgobbledygook(it'll be the only folder in there)/ and then took the 0.raw file (which is the data for the memory card 1), copied it, then after installing the disc 2 for the game, pasted that 0.raw file into that same directory of the next disc. Sometimes you have to run the disc 2 game apk to get it to create the subfolders in that /files/ directory, just to let you know in case you don't see the /save/ subfolder.

Finally, anyone try using the onscreen controller options on a different phone at all?

PSXperia once working perfectly, now always crashes

Hello, I've been searching for an answer to this for a while and have not had any answer, so hopefully I'm not bothering anyone with this.

I used to play games on PSXperia really frequently, then stopped for a brief while. About a week ago, I had a software update on my Xperia Play, and curiously, both before and after the update, it lists the Android version as 2.3.3. Then, yesterday, I tried to play each one of my PSXperia games and they didn't work anymore. What happens is, I get the WARNING screen (If you have a history of Epilepsy or Seizures, consult a doctor before use, etc...), and then goes straight back to the home screen.

So I think I can deduce this to be related to the software update, but the problem is: I don't know which Android version is at fault, if there is one at fault. It says 2.3.3 after the update, and I believe it said 2.3.3 before. Additionally, I did a factory reset and re-installed one of the games, and the same problem occured.

I've searched ways to undo a software update, people with similar issues, but in those cases they were unanswered. Any help is appreciated!

tl;dr: PSXperia games, after software update, now crash after warning screen. what do
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Solar.Plexus:
Use PSXperia 2.0, that should work for you after the 2.3.3 update.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sharnto:
I was skeptical, since I had tried 2.0 and it didn't seem to work, and since my Xperia is still telling me it's 2.3.3 (and not 2.3.4).

Turns out I was having issues with PSXperia 2.0's application more than anything else (extracted data; zpak and apk weren't the same version, I believe), and now it works. Awesome!

Thanks for the help.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Solar.Plexus:
No problem. Glad to hear you got it all sorted out.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] yifanlu:
Can someone get me the crash bandicoot APK from the ics build of Sony tablet s (or any other device)? I see that pinball Hero has been updated to run on windows. Curious to see if cb has the same update.
