Haven't found it yet, but I have a question perhaps u could figure out the answer to. I applied this psxperia fix for ICS: http://www.mediafire.com/?ynwmd1jax0m1joj posted by cj360 at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28771803#post28771803

and it allows Crash Bandicoot to work, but ps1 games converted with psxperia 2.0 initially force close with no message.

I changed the preferences to match certains things of crash bandicoot, like up rendering and sw rendering and it still force closed. I then changed the title id in metadata to 1.0.3 and then got an error when launching the game "There is not enough free space on the SD card." Image runs in my psx emulator on PC so it's not the image itself for sure. Maybe this helps toward a solution?

What do you think?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cj360:
Sony must have patched their emulation system on ics. So only psx games with a signature or special something to tell the system it's official Sony software will run. Could someone test other offical psx games from the ps store on sony ics beta roms? I've tried on darICs and Neos and psx games that were converted always ask to download data even though I have it's data under SD card>android>data>exact name_of_psx_game.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
There's a way around it though I'm sure. Just will take a bit of modding from someone more knowledgeable than myself xD
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Heero0E:
does this works other than iso file like ecm and bin file to convert ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
.bin files definitely work. They actually worked the best for me. .ecm files didn't work for me. .img files work too.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GHRocker08:
Is it just me or do Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro have experience crippling graphical glitches? Is there any way to fix this?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
try software rendering

Iso and img are the same the extension can be changed between them
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
ISO archives didn't work for me.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Frankieee:
ecm is only a compression method, you've to unecm the files.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GHRocker08:
I've tried software rendering before with no luck. I also tried the other "hack" which I don't remember off-hand. Any other ideas?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Nope sorry, I am not a developer for android so I really can't help, just pissing guides to help
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
You could try making the file smaller with some ISO compression software. (No I don't know which one). Otherwise, it may just be a game that's too powerful. Not all games work the same fyi.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
how would this help? compressing it i mean... if you compress it then fine it will be smaller but AFAIK psxperia would then uncompress it anyway.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Idk, lol. It was a possibility. Like I said, some games just won't work.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
haha ok then :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
Tried spider-man a while back. The emulator doesn't handle it well, i.e. character and model bleeding like in Tekken 2.

As previously mentioned, no way to fix emulator problems. FPse doesn't have this same problem, though runs the game more slowly.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] maniacmaver:
Don't wanna seem like a noob but I guess I have no choice, haha.

I've followed your info step by step but can't get anything to work. I usually get the warning at the start but then the screen just stays black when I try to play the game.

I got PSXperia 1.0 working fine on 2.3.3 but can't get it to work on 2.3.4. I understand that the UK/EU crash bandicoot APK doesn't work so I do have the US one. Anyhow.

The furtherest I got was with Hogs Of War. It came up with the game but the screen kept flashing and I couldn't seen the menu's unless pressing buttons.

Any help? Also I guess all games have to be NTSC now? Because it only runs American versions? or am I wrong?

Any help would be great (:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
U say u got PSXperia 1.0 working. U haven't used 2.0? That may be the problem.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] maniacmaver:
No, I'm now using PSXperia 2.0 as 1.0 is incompatible with 2.3.4.

Edit: Noticed I said I was using 1.0 still. I meant I got 1.0 working on 2.3.3. I'm now using 2.0 for 2.3.4 and can't get games to work.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
the apk doesn't matter as it is not needed.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] maniacmaver:
Well I followed your video, Skipping the extract tab (Also tried extracting) I've tried different version's of Hogs Of War, Including the one stated that "Works" perfectly, I just seem to get a black screen after the warning notice. I did once get the game to load but it did nothing but flicker and I couldn't see what I was doing as the title/menu just disappeared.

Quite gutting as that game is beyond a favourite of mine. I'd love to get it working.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
What ROM and baseband are you on and how many games have u tried that don't work? Also, are u using any Overclocking?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] maniacmaver:
Umm I got Hogs Of War to work however I needed to RW render or whatever, It isn't 100% but it's not far from it.

I haven't edited my phone in anyway really, So I still have the base ROM and baseband I guess? I'm not using any over clocking?

Again thanks for helping a noob. I do appreciate it ;D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Ah ok, I was gonna say make sure u used SW rendering, but I thought u did so already. Well, you should be good to go then from now on.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] maniacmaver:
Looking at the SW rending didn't really show how to do it, I thought it'd be harder than what it was but I just used the notepad, haha (:

Now I need to think of some good games to get ;D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Hehe, yea it's not too difficult. I gotta be extra careful not to make any spacing errors when I edit it cuz I used swipe gestures xD
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] maniacmaver:
Oh, you edited it on your phone? I plugged it in my computer, haha o:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Yea, it's quicker from the phone xD
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loismustdie555:
This is probably a stupid question but; Is there a version of this that will work for 2.3.2? because I'm currently using an xplay that has no service since my main phone is an iPhone 4S and I have no more spots on my family plan ;(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
why not flash 2.3.4 on to it?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loismustdie555:
How do I root it?

And also I'm gonna activate it on vzw so is there a 2.3.4 ROM for r800x that has Sony's Xperia UI that still works on vzw?

BTW I bought it new from Amazon so I don't know if giving them the IMEI number so they can activate it will let them know it's rooted or not, would they know?

EDIT: Is there a CDMA version of Gin2JellyBean?

EDIT: Screw Gin2JellyBean! Is there a CDMA version of Xperia NXT 1.2? And if no, please could someone tell me how to install it on my play since it's made for gsm not cdma? or would it just be like a normal install with the exception of not getting service?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] RikuNoctis:
Well, I have used this guide and it is the best on the web, really.

But now, I have an issue: I got bored from a game (FInal Fantasy Tactics) and I uninstalled the "APK" and erased the files, but my system memory is less than when I installes that game. There are some files that I need to erase to recover that memory space?

I've followed this guide only. Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
U may need to use a cache cleaner from the market.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loismustdie555:
Actually just to confirm, this DOES work on R800x VZW 2.3.4, correct?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
It should just as long as you can install apps from "Unknown Sources" and follow all the instructions properly.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loismustdie555:
Yeah, I got it working. Does anyone know if there IS a CDMA version of Xperia NXT 1.2?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
its 2.3.4 so i think it will

Oops sorry didn't realise there was another page
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loismustdie555:
What? What "Other Page"?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
I was replying to a question that was answered on the next page
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loismustdie555:
Do you mean the previous page? Because there is no "next" page, the "next" page would be page 30, which as of writing this comment and it does not exist.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Solar.Plexus:
Well, this page is "next" " to the one he's referring..

some people just don't understand lol. Thanks for clearing that up for me :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] maniacmaver:
Could anyone tell me how to RIP my PS1 games onto my computer to put on with PSXperia? I tried Alcohol52%, got it on my phone and when the game loads to the main menu, the menu disappears and goes all "flashy" Any recommended ways of doing it?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
I have stock 2.3.3 and crash 1.0.3 apk. When i convert and start any game up form playstation pocket, it shows the health warning and then the screen stays black. I can access the playstation pocket emulator menu, but nothing else works. Please help me or can some please patch this so i can use it? Thanks in advance.

Psxperia 2.0 is for 2.3.4 only

Psxperia 1.0 is for 2.3.3 and lower

Please read the thread.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
When I use 1.0, it quits when i select the game. When I use 2.0, it gives me the black screen problem when I select the game.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
2.0 won't work on 2.3.3 and i don't know anything about PSXperia 1.0 sorry.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
Only use the PSXPeria version pertaining to your android version. Anything else is a waste of time.

If it gives you a black screen, its will be for one of the following reasons:

- The emulator doesn't support the particular game you tried. Try another.

- The rom you used is poorly ripped and/or already compressed. Try finding it from another source. .img and .bin format is preferable.

- The crash bandicoot files you used are incompatible with PSXPeria. As far as I know, only the SCUS files work with version 2.0.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
Maybe the full story will help:

I used to have PSXperia 1.0 and it worked fine on all the games I used. At the time I had the US Crash 1.0.1 apk. Recently, I received a notification for a software update. I decided to update to see what happens. I did not notice anything at first. i decided to play one of my games, but one I selected it, it quit on me. I decided to re-inject the game, and it did the same thing. I picked the crash apk, and it said I needed to updated the game. I updated it. I checked the version, and it now it was 1.0.3. I reinstalled the game again and the same problem occurred. I used the new apk with 1.0 and it showed an error in the program. I still tried it and had the same problem again. I then used PSXperia 2.0 because it uses the 1.0.3 apk. I tried that and the screen stayed black after the warning. Only the menu worked like normal. And thats why I came here. I need help. So its not the image of the game or the psxperia I used. This is hopefully enough for you guys to help me.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Use the PSXperia 2.0 posted on this thread

DO NOT use your Crash APK like you did

ONLY go to the CONVERT tab

MAKE SURE your TITLE ID is 4 letters, followed by 5 numbers, followed by an underscore ( _ ) and 1 number

ENTER A NAME for the Game

Leave all other fields as they are (I changed the Developer and Publisher and it still worked, but just leave them for this try)

CLICK THE ANALOG MODE box only if the game you're converting uses the analogs.

USE A PNG IMAGE for the ICON. RESIZE it to 170x170 (I used INFRANVIEW to convert and resize images)

Click the CHOOSE button for the PSX IMAGE INPUT and find the .iso file. (I recommend using a .bin file)

CONVERT the image

Sorry if the caps look rude. I just wanna make sure everything gets done properly.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loismustdie555:
FYI you mis-spelled IRFANVIEW. Just thought you should know :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Thx, I've been pronouncing it wrong in my mind for years....shame.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] statix360:
hi

thanx

sorry my problem solved
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
Sadly it didn't work.:crying:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] illuminerdi:
If anyone is wondering I've converted a few games using PSXperia 2.0 (thanks so much guys!) and some worked, some didn't.

The Granstream Saga: Worked, but had moderate graphics bugs/visible clipping on models even in SW mode.

Parasite Eve 2: Wouldn't get past title screen.

Dino Crisis 2: Works pretty well, very minor graphics glitches here and there.

Vagrant Story: Works well, also has very minor glitches in spots

Resident Evil 2 (Leon Disc): Works well, very minor glitches, haven't tried SW mode yet.

The games I listed as "minor graphics bugs" are all totally playable and the minor bugs won't be noticed by all but the most observant gamers, and none of them interfered with gameplay at all.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Try converting a game that a lot of ppl have had success with and see if it works.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
That's what I used.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Yes check the 2nd post for a list (bit out of date as I am now running this thread on my own)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
Look above your post. And the game I used is Crash 2.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Look where?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Wow, this is so weird. You're on what ROM again? Totally stock?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
Stock and unrooted.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Oh. I didn't think it worked on unrooted FW. Can any1 else confirm that it's been working for them on stock, unrooted?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Pretty sure it does . No modification to the system is done so no root would be needed
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Wow, idk what the heck is wrong with his phone setup then cuz it's working for most ppl.

I'm sorry, Idk what else to say about it.

Games successfuly converted:

Legend of Dragoon (Disc 1 so far) SW Rendering for smoothness

Megaman Legends 2 (SW Rendering needed for underwater stages only)

Ergheiz (SW Rendering defintely needed, xD)

Final Fantasy IX (SW Rendering needed)

Since you're running this thread on your own, are there any games you want to verify as working, or anything we could do to provide more assistance?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
I know its screwed up. If only I did not press software update.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Rofl, I'd say you should just install a custom 2.3.4 ROM and relieve your troubles.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
wasn't there a update recently that broke PSXperia 1.0 on 2.3.3 im sure there was
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
I'm not sure. I only use 2.3.7 ROMs. (for gaming)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
That might be what it is. I got a software update notification and installed it which forced me to update the crash apk.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
2.3.7 stock or 2.3.7 AOSP? cuz 2.3.7 stock is just 2.3.4 with a build.prop edit to make it look like 2.3.7 :)

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Maybe i am just guessing but i am sure i remember reading something like that
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Whatever ROMS like TrueAncestor and Gin2Jellybean are based on.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Yeah 2.3.4 with modded build.prop
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
Ahh, I see.

Hello,

I should start by thanking the 2 guys who posted that,

I will surely do after converting aand installing my 1st PSX game,

which i will do just AFTER I FIND MY OLD PSX GAAAAMES :crying:

i have been looking for them in all the house :confused: with no result

I have never thaought that I will need them one day,

Thank you anyway,

Good Job !!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
haha hope you find them
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
I guess you have to thank me for that. jk.

On topic, is there any way to remove the update so that i can downgrade the apk without the update notification? if no, then ill have to stick with fpse.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
what would freezing the update do?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
the update is the reason for me updating the crash apk.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
yeah but what would freezing the update do? i mean will it stop the message saying to update or stop the whole appp????? i dunno thats why i asked :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thi3um:
Hey men,

I just want to say a huge thank to all the people who have created this tool, and to all the people who make it know.

I can't believe how perfect it is, all my old psx game on my play, it rock...

For the moment I just made twisted metal 2 and it run perfectly, you can't imagine how happy I am.

Big thanks to all of you for your amazing work, and keep on this way.

(is there a way to add the game in the xperia play game launcher?)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
oh. it would be a risk. well it looks like its getting too out of hand. i guess ill stick with fpse. sorry for wasting ur time.

got it working!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 216Monster:
Did anyone ever have any success integrating .cue files into the apk/zpak at all? Im pretty sure it wasnt possible but, I havent looked around in awhile.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
a cue file requires a bin or another file. You would integrate the bin or other file instead. A cue file is like a 'tell the program what to do with the other file'
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 216Monster:
Yes, and I'm trying to incorporate the cue in the build, Final Doom needs the cue to work. But I believe psxperia does not do that.

Sent from my R800x
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
have you tried just using the bin file?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 216Monster:
Yes sir, I've been trying to create bin/img files using different settings w/ imgburn, so far neither have worked with final doom (I believe its posted as a not working game with psxperia but I'm trying to work with it)

I know in fpse for final doom I have to select the cue file for the game to run (having the img/bin in the same folder of course)

Sent from my R800x
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
i dont see why that would make any difference though. a cue file usually is pointless lol
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 216Monster:
I believe the cue contains certain audio information which is what the fpse dev told me, and final doom has the audio separate from the game on disc. Its not really my area of expertise though :)

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
ok cool, i dunno, keep trying or give up :) :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 216Monster:
Ill keep at it! Final Doom is one of my all time favs and I'd rather not use fpse anymore (great emulator but I like psxperia) , I won't give up until the odds of final doom working are like getting an xplay 2..

.cue work for me, put your .cue and .bin in the same folder then chose one.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thi3um:
Me too

I made twisted metal 2 with .bin and .cue and it work
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 216Monster:
Twisted metal 1,2 and 3 work without the cue file in the folder, I don't believe psxperia uses the cue file even if its in the folder.

Sent from my R800x
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thi3um:
OK, sorry I didn't know I just said that cause when I choose my image file I only select the cue file.

I got final doom somewhere, I'll try a soon as I found it.

For the input file you select the cue? I haven't tried that yet, I didnt think it would work!

When I tried for the first time I didn't know witch one I got to choose so I choose randomly the cue ( 90%sure but you make me doubt)

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
I think there's a way to merge .bin and .cue files together. Search it online. Once they're one, you should be able to use that as the input file.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
well isn't a img file essentially what a bin and cue file are (yes i know different formats but i think you know what i mean.)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
No, img format still uses a secondary file (.ccd) to store track information.

There's no such thing as combining the two together. Either the emulator looks for the file which holds the track information or you need to store the information in the correct place in the emulator package.

This information needs to be stored in the image_ps_toc.bin file or in one of the files inside the *.zpak package.

I don't believe the author, Yifan, ever looked for a ways to do this, which is a shame.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 216Monster:
I was working on it last night. Trying different build "combo"s ...

I used the .cue file as the "input" and created the psxperia apk as normal. Then in a different folder I used the .img file as the "input" and created the apk as normal again.

I used the apk that was made with the CUE file with the image_ps_toc.bin that was made with the CUE file and the zpak that was made from the IMG, that combination was no good.

Then I tried the apk from the IMG file with the image_ps_toc.bin that was made from the CUE file along with the zpak from the IMG file, no good also.

Was basically trying to mix an match and hope for the best.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
good effort but imho that would never work :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wielku:
am I being crazy or this will work after completing cd1 I will copy save to fpse changing it into .mcd than come in fpse into cd2 saving and changing save back to psxperia and play cd2 in it?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
It depends on the game in question.

Some multi-disc games require you always boot cd1 before cd2, in which case, it won't ever work with PSXPeria 1.0/2.0.

Others simply want the data from the memory card and don't require cd1. In this case, moving the memory card over from cd1 to cd2 will work just fine.

Its possible the game may only require you to boot cd1 before cd2 the once, and having saved from cd2, work without needing cd1 again. Though I haven't heard of any multi-disc games that work lhis way. Its much more common for them to either need to boot from cd1 or the data from the memory card, not a combination of the two.
