Hi, i did a few tests and found...

et9mywords wont accept spaces, and although you can sneakily paste sentences into the input box, it wont save them, so that method is out.

Custom words are also found in HTCMDB.txt, and the good news is it works!

(See image)

The line 'this is a test' i hard coded into the file using my kitchen, then the 'this is a second test' i added as follows....

(I use resco explorer, i suspect the normal file manager wont do what is required, total commander probably will)

find /windows/HTCMDB.txt (it will be hidden, so show all files)

copy it to your sd card, and from there to your desktop.

(I tried editing it on the phone using windows mobile notepad, but it didnt work right)

On the PC, right click the file, properties, and untick 'read only', apply.

Open it and edit it as required.

Save it, and again right click, re apply 'read only'

Copy back to your sd card, and from teh phone use commander or resco to move it to /windows/

You will probably get a warning about rom files and what not, thats ok.

Reboot, and you should now be able to see your sentences.

PLease let me know how you get on.

EDIT - just for clarity, every entry inside HTCMDB.txt must be on its own line.

Hi guys I just saw that psx4droid is out in the market! Hooray! :D

But I saw my friend had some problems getting it set up and wanted to make it easier for other newbies so I figured I would do a step by step tutorial of how my friend got it working for his Nexus One.

Step 1: Download psx4droid in the android market (search psx and it will come up)

Step 2: Connect your phone to your computer via usb and create a folder where you will place your Bios file and Roms (SDcard -> then create a new folder PSXoid)

Step 3: google the term scph1001.bin and download the file

Step 4: place the scph1001.bin file in the newly created folder PSXoid

Now comes the tricky part with the roms since most of them have a wierd ECM file type that wont be recognized by your emulator; dont worry you just need to convert the file type to bin so the emulator can recognize it :)

Step 5: go to http://www.underground-gamer.com/wiki/index.php/ECM and download ECM under the Windows section of the page and extract the UNECM portion of the EMC download to the desktop

Step 6: grab the Rom in ECM format from the desktop and place it into the UNECM file now on the desktop, it will start making a copy of the Rom with the correct file type and will pull up a small black screen showing you that it is converting it to the correct format with a percentage ticking away to 100%

Step 7: now that you have the PSX Rom in the correct bin format, you can place it in the newly created PSXoid folder and your emulator will now be able to see it!

Step 8: unplug phone from USB and open psx4droid app

Step 9: Use the top portion of the settings to search for and select scph1001.bin as the bios file to use (It's easy to find since you know its in the PSXoid folder)

Step 10: Once you have selected the bios file you will be promted to find a rom that you want to use. You will now be able to see the rom and play it on your psx4droid emulator!

Enjoy =)

***Just a few tidbits in case people were wondering my friend is not rooted and this guide is for educational purposes only. Downloading illegal roms can get you in trouble and don't do it unless you have the original game you purchase.

EDIT: On Droid Forums a user by the name of Titan posted this comment when he was confused by step 6 ------ "Ah I got it working now, I get the .7z or .zip roms I downloaded, and I keep opening up the main folders/.zips until I get to a file called data.bin.ecm. Then I drag that to unecm. It seems that the "data.bin.ecm" is the game in all that mess. "
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
i havent checked the link since im browsing on my phone in a bad reception area but in that link you provided, is there a download for the Mac OS version of that program?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ap3604:
No... but that's ok since people who buy apple products should be punished and are used to being prevented from using emulators anyways ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
ah i guess i spent the $6 for nothing. thank google for the refund button ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ap3604:
Just giving you a hard time brotha ;)

I was going to refund it as well until I figured out how it works. Guess Mac users have to figure out another work around though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
okay for the few mac users, i have found the ECM program. at least i think this is it. correct me if im wrong. go to http://www.neillcorlett.com/ecm/ and select the Mac port version

**edit: i got it to work!! this is soooo awesome!! lol :D**
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
hey man if u dont mind, can u put the link i provided for any mac users that could be on the forum? could help some others out too :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gotwake424:
Why don't you guys just skip the emc step and download the iso of the game you want?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
cuz not all the games come in iso form. i havent stumbled across an iso file yet n ive downloaded a lot of roms already from different sites to test out
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rejusu:
Was hoping this would help but it doesn't seem to be applicable to the problems I'm having. I have a working bios and working game ISO's (tested under ePSXe on the PC) but nothing works on my phone. Just get a black screen. Tried turning sound off and framerate down but it doesn't help. Tried both PAL bios and PAL games as well as NTSC bios and an NTSC game. Running on an unrooted HTC Desire.

Might return it if it's as a lame duck as it seems.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] _Opiate_:
I've been waiting for this to drop ever since the news first leaked. I can't wait to get some final fantasy rolling on the Nexus. That's a good way to kill some time.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] UNICORN025:
i dont remember but i think if you go to psp hacks you can get a prog that will rip your cd and then turn it into a eboot.pbp i have several that i have done back in my psp hacking days and they seem to work, crash bandicoot,resident evil, those that dont work so far has been syphon filter all of them and metal gear. going to try grand torsimo and a few other during the week. these all work on my hack psp. 0000000000000 popstation i think is the name of the program i use.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plmiller0905:
Can someone please help me with this, specially step 6. It states:

"grab the Rom in ECM format from the desktop and place it into the UNECM file now on the desktop, it will start making a copy of the Rom with the correct file type and will pull up a small black screen showing you that it is converting it to the correct format with a percentage ticking away to 100%"

I downloaded ECM 100 from the site. I then unzipped it and I got the following files: uncem (Application), uncem.c (c file), readme, gpl, format, ecm (Application) and ecm.c (c file).

So what do I do now? Do I place the "format txt file" into the UNECM App file or what...I'm totally lost on this step.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] accinfo:
same issue, which uncem are you referring to?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plmiller0905:
I don't know..that's where I'm lost. I don't know if I'm suppose to place the format.txt file into the uncem (app) file or the uncem.c (c file).

The instructions are a little vague. Hopefully someone can post and give somemore insight into these instructions.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] UNICORN025:
for those who own psp or ps3 you can buy those psx/psp they will work with the emu the one i have have work.

.ecm means the file is further compressed.

http://www.neillcorlett.com/ecm/

There you should be able to get the program to decompress it... just drag the .ecm file into unecm.exe (or sth like that)

Then you should have the .img file left, which should go onto your SD
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Destke:
Works great! Thanks for the tut
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khakhi:
I am stuck on step 6 :(

i extracted the zip file to desktop, there is a "ecm.exe" file, "ecm.c"and "unecm.c"

Do i click and grab the "ecm.c" file and drop it onto the "unecm.c' file?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] neotekz:
i got it working once but now everytime i try to open the img file it would just force close. anyone know whats going on?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CentralMoNexusOne:
Sorry wrong thread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jonesy420:
step 6 is unneccessary if the game you have is already a .bin or .img or any other format that psx4droid supports.

if your game is in .ecm format then you must drop your game file onto UNECM. the game will be converted to a file you can play. the ecm files you extracted arent needed, only unecm.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khakhi:
i got the "final fantasy.bin" file which i reckon is the actual game, i follow the rest of the steps.

how do i open the game to play it? its not in APK format
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jonesy420:
it doesnt have to be in apk format. in fact it wont work if it is. just put all your games in one place on your sd card. i have mine in /sdcard/games/PSX could be anywhere really just remember where you put them and you should put the bios file scph1001.bin there too. then,

-open psx4droid

-navigate to the folder where your games are

-select the bios file if you havent already (only done once)

-then select a game. in your case it would be final fantasy

-enjoy one of the best rpgs ever made :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zammo76:
Does psx4droid work with the gingervillain ROM?

I had it working on my HTC Desire's stock HTC Sense UI, but since flashing to gingervillian when I go to load a game by selecting its data.bin file the screen goes black for a few seconds and then returns to the select screen, instead of firing up the game.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 80063r:
Same here. Worked fine on stock 2.2 Evo but now I have root and CM7-GX4 and neither old version or new works and I tried about 15 different bios files with ROMs that I've used before on this phone. I also have the wimax kernel. I haven't yet reported it to the developer but I thought I might get further on here. I just get a black screen for 1/2 to 3 seconds then it goes back to the ROM selection screen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jjkinas:
htc ace / gingerbread

on htc ace with gingerbread and i get the same , black screen for split second then it goes back to rom selector screen. i think its a problem with 2.3 and psx4droid together , i will flash back sometime to 2.2 and check if thats the case.

EDIT: update

Was running [ROM] Android Revolution HD 4.0 β 4 | Gingerbread & HTC Sense 2.1 | Android 2.3.2

i had the problem with black screen for 1 sec

flashed back to stock 2.2 , and now the games load properly !
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 80063r:
Same here, with CM7-GX4. When I started using cm7 nightly, I had no problems.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RiffyDivine:
I got the newest one 3.0 on my gtablet, I got the bios and everything right so far. My problem is I goto launch front mission 3 from it's bin file and it just opens and then goes right back to the pick a rom screen. Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KingKuba13:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sleepywilloe:
I'm having the same problem as RiffyDivine , I click the iso I want to run and it goes black for a moment, then returns to the iso selection screen.

I'm running psx4droid 3.0, scph-1001 on a gtablet with vegan and an iso that runs fine in epsxe.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fat_boyy21:
does anyone know what the best bios is to use or it doesn't matter
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jjkinas:
My experience is that this will not run on 2.3 its probably the same with 3.0, not sure though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jeckas:
drag the .ecm file from ur ROM game and drop on unecm and then will create a new file (.Bin) and then thats ur compatible file for ur psx4droid

For ppl who is getting blank screen, download/buy the new version of PSX4DROID v3
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cooperkid:
i have the latest psx4droid 3.0.5 but i get the same black screen

i checked the rom and bios file with an emulator on my laptop and they worked a treat so thats that ruled out
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sirgive:
Hey guys,

Try using v2 if you can't find v3 to work. Just google the apk for PSX4Droid v2.

EDIT:

Meant to include the fact that I was also getting that black screen that reverts back to choose your rom.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cooperkid:
cheers mate,did this work for you?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cooperkid:
tried v2 on my desire hd and same issue again re blank screen
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cooperkid:
just tried psx4droid on a stock desire hd and it worked perfect

i have rcmixhd on mine and i get the blank screen problem

so are people with custom roms only getting the blank screen problem?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jjkinas:
That's what has been happening for me too , I have the choice to either use 2.2 stock Rom and play psx4droid or actually use the Rom I want and then no psx4droid

I hope its fixed someday to work with gingerbread
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zonderion:
Well that blows.... I picked up CM7 Mod to be able to use the Bluetooth compatibility to play psx roms with the wiimote and now the psx4droid doesn't work... I guess I'm sticking to Nintendo emulators and roms...

EDIT:

So after doing some research, it seems as though it is not ALL custom Roms. The SS 4.7 gingerbread rom "broke" the psx4droid, but they came out with a fix for it. So it's working on a custom rom.

Second thing I found out, is that around April 9th, psx4droid was banned from the Market. Reason? Not sure. However, FPse is still available for about $5. Not sure if I want to spend the money if it isn't going to work...

What do you guys think?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cooperkid:
psx4droid works for me with a froyo 2.2 rom but im using gingerbread 2.3 and that seems to be the problem.

so stay 2.2 and play psx4droid or move to 2.3 and say goodbye
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frenchyff:
I have (04/10/2011) [SS] CyanogenMod V7.0.0 (2.3.3) On my HTC desire HD

FPse and psx4droid do not work. has any one had any luck with this. is there a fix?

black screen for a second or two then it just kicks me back to the main screen. games will not start. on both emulators.

i can confirm that i was having alot of the problems people think its the ROM and think its the emulator...

its the operating system rom.. CM7 wont run earlier versions of psx4droid

i finally found a thread that recommended i try the version PSX4droid v2 1.1.0

i found the APK on google, uninstalled PSX4droid v2 1.0.8 and installed PSX4droid v2 1.1.0 and now all the games play fine

playing from htc inspire 4g (euro desire hd)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rezil337:
Hey, first time poster here, and I have a problem with psx4droid.

Don't really know where else to post this but here's my problem:

Whenever I play either the original MoH or MoH: Underground whenever I get to a certain point the map doesn't render anymore, it's like the game ran out of memory or something. Attached screenshots show the unrendered part from Underground, the same thing happens on level 1 of MoH. Has anybody else encountered this problem? If so, what did you do to solve it?

If it's any help, my phone is a Motorola Milestone 2.1, overclocked to 1GHz. I'd really like to play this game on my phone but I can't and everywhere I've looked, people have reported that the game runs smooth. This is true, but is only playable to the 'unrendered' part, at least for me.

Does anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plutusmaximus:
Hi thanks for the information. I have a problem generating the bin from the ecm using unecm. I extracted the unecm to the desktop and then dragged and dropped the ecm file onto the icon and the shell popped open and then closes before I can read what it says. It never generates the bin file from the ecm file. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plutusmaximus:
Hey thanks for the instructions bro. I'm having a problem though and I was hoping you could help. I finally figured out how to run unecm from the command line as dragging and dropping the file onto the icon wasnt producing results. Now I have the bin file and it will not load. It keeps crashing psxoid. I tried two different bin files and it does the same thing each time. I also tried to place the cue file in the folder on my sd card and it still does the same thing. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plutusmaximus:
btw I also placed the BIOS file in the same folder
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asd87:
i did everything step by step and and it does not work unfortunately, this is just to complicated just to play a video game on your phone...i'll just wait have to REBUY the games i want from the ps network and port them to my psp...square enix gets more money from me again! basturds lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asd87:
ok so here is my issue. i download the file (which was a .7z file) i drag and drop to unecm and nothing happens, so i drag it to ecm and it converts it to a ecm file. if i drag the newly ecm file to unecm, it just converts it right back to a .7z file...im getting no .bin files out of this and getting highly frustrated! PLEASE HELP!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jakthedark:
got mine to work.

asd87 make sure its a .ecm file (sounds like you have just a normal compressed file, so just exsract. if its a normal .bin file it should play)

I had the black screen with the controls and it would crash the psx if i tryed to do anything. i tryed just about every thing listed on this thread. tryed diffrent roms, diffrent bois, messed with settings ect. finaly i tryed other psx emulators and finaly got ff7 and tactics to work like a dream.

Running rooted Xperia X10a factory os
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ZeroCool84:
I'm also getting nothing loaded. Just goes back to the ROM screen when trying to load. Does this not work with 2.3 at all? psx4droid 3.0.6 Nexus S 4G Stock 2.3.4
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vdai:
Black Screen then back to menu problem

Seems like a lot of people are getting the problem of a brief black screen and then back to the menu again. I can't believe that this problem hasn't been identified and resolved yet. Surely somebody out there knows what is going on?

EDIT: thanks to buradd I can confirm that PSX4droid v3.0.0 and up doesn't play nice with some custom roms. Reverting to v2 1.1.0 works fine. Just google "PSX4droid v2 1.1.0" and you'll find a copy.

Sorry for the not linking, I can't post outside links yet.

Hey guys anyone had any luck with Metal Gear Solid? Mines real laggy, I'm running on a HTC HD2 running NAND Android. Sound jumps and skips and its quite laggy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PhayzR:
No luck here...

I keep getting kicked back to the ROM screen with PSX4droid 2.1.1.

Running CM7 (2.3) on my HTC EVO 4G.

I have tried all previous versions of PSX4droid and with no luck. I have also tried all available BIOS's. PSX4droid v3 is a crock and wont work with any of my ROMs.

Has anyone figured out any kind of solution yet? I REALLY want to play MGS on my phone!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mainspring:
I've been trying all night to get it work with the new version of PSX4droid and no matter what rom I tried it wouldn't work.

it would just kick me back to the rom list.

anyway, I took vdai's advise and tried v2 1.1.0

and... I'm now playing MGS on my S4G!!! :D

if you haven't yet, try it out.

vdai, thanks for the heads up. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] silverh20:
Here's how you get it working on CM7 2.3

Ok guys, i seriously read all 25 pages of this thread and FINALLY got it working on my Samsung Captivate (galaxy s) on my cyanogen mod 7 2.3 build.

IF YOU GET THE CHOOSE ROM BLACK SCREEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHOOSING THE ROM THIS IS THE FIX (at least for cm7 2.3 people)

but who knows this might help others.

1. download and install psx4droid v2 1.1.0

2. download and place anywhere on your sd the scph1001.bin BIOS file (mine was 512kb)

3. get a rom, if its a .zip, unzip somewhere.

3a. if you have a .cue and a .7zip, open the .7zip with the free open source 7zip software and drag the game.bin.ecm file into a folder. ignore the .cue.

4. look up unecm, download the pack, open the folder and youll see UNECM.exe

5. drag your game.bin.ecm file literally on top of the UNECM.exe, a dos command prompt will pop up with a % in progress and it extracts the finished game.bin file in the SAME folder your game.bin.ecm was.

6. copy that game.bin you just made onto a folder somewhere on your sd card.

7. open psx4droid, point it to the scph1001.bin BIOS file, then point it to a rom you just copied.

8. PLAY!! :D

Now I'm playing FFVII happily and it runs great! :cool:

hope these steps help someone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] silverh20:
So I've been playing ff7 for a bit now but here and there psx4droid force closes on me, its not a particular part of the game its random. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] l_Estat:
does anybody know a good source for iso roms?

is it legal now to copy those since sony stopped the support for the psOne?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mainspring:
try FPSE.

much better then PSX4Droid.

FF VII works well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] silverh20:
thank you very much for the advice, i took it and FPSE works perfectly. just had to come back on and post to say thanks :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xMini:
