I have another issue...

my psx4droid crashes once when started, but works fine afterwards, but loading savestates crashes the app again and gets me back to the rom loading screen.

that's all on CM7...i tried using FPse but FF7 isn't running very smooth for me..(Samsung Galaxy S), so I pretty much wasted money there
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jahy420:
IS FPSE GAME IS FREE on X PLAY

Evo 4g with CM7

I'm using a HTC Evo 4g with CM7 most recent stable version as of 9/1/11 and I was having the hardest time trying to get psx4droid to work. I read through many of the posts on this site and other sites, but I was still getting the issue of having the screen go black and return to rom selection right after selecting a rom.

If you're getting this problem with cm7 or gingerbread, go to mediafire, its .com not .net and after the last / add this ?57pu2w90u7u11lr

Its for v2.1.1.0 My evo 4g is playing BoF III as we speak and I get to keep cm7!

I won't take credit though, many others suggested trying v2 - I know it can be confusing since market doesnt host psx4droid anymore. I didn't even know there was a version 2, let alone a version 3. Go figure... Good luck.

I kept getting the black screen problem too but downloading PSX4droid v2 1.1.0 works. Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gnjuss:
I have Android 2.3.3,and obviously the same problem as many people here,after I select the BIOS file,I am prompted to select a ROM,I choose it (Diablo),and....Nothing happens.I get the ROM selection screen again,and have to go to Program Monitor and force-close the app.

I am not to hung up on psx4droid anyway,is there maybe another emulator that works on gingerbread????
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] C16MkII:
Zombiebump, I'm having the same problem with loading the actual game. I've downloaded and tried loading a multitute of different files, zips, ect and the only things the app even shows in my list were games in an iso format and img format, and neither worked. I've never had any trouble figuring out emulations before, either until now.

Can anyone confirm?

Right guys, Ive read and read and read and read FAQ's/Walkthroughs/Step by Steps/Compatibilites/Screen Shots/Videos and this my situation -

Ive followed each step to the letter!

Tried a multitude of different ROMs from different sites.

Tried multiple BIOS files from different sits.

Tried different emulators from different places.

Basically - the game is there to be chosen by the emulator, screen flashes back and flicks to the left then back to the ROM selection screen - EVERYTime

Im currently running a Galaxy i9000(Galaxy S) on a rooted XXJVO 2.2.3 Gingerbread.

Can anyone confirm if they have ANY ROM's working on the Galaxy S - especially Final Fantasy.

Any ideas?

Cheers

.bin file

After loading the bios and restarting px4droid, my .bin files for my games are not an option in my folders
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Whafrodamus:
^ This.

Was having tons of issues with PSX4Droid. Downloaded FPSE and not-a-one! Everything works as it should. Order is restored to the universe.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thanhxvo:
I think it depends what games you are playing. I beat ff7 with ps4droid with very little problems.

I made it a lot farther in Legend of Dragoon too before it started freezing. I had a lot of issues with LOD in fpse from the start. It's a shame because it is the one game I always wanted to beat in ps1

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Drewbladez:
I'm a NOOB to emulators and all this Jazz

So I got the SNES and GBA ROMS and emulator working great. this is a bit more complex I'm learning. HA

1. Can't seem to find a download of the scph1001.bin file

2. I attempted to learn how to use imgburn to convert from my disc to an (ISO? file?? (is that even the right type)) FAIL -> Anyone have EZ Noob instructions on how to do that?

3. only other option I see possible is to aquire the ROMs legally and the only ones I find are 33 part files. Once I've purchased them :D How do I continue in using them moving forward?

Thanks in Advance

ALWAYS Trying new things since ANDROID Came into my life :D

I'm using Windows Vista 64bit and the unecm program opens and closes for me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GUNITJHAE:
Okay so I got it figured out. If you guys have .zip files without ecm's in them I found a link to this program that grabs them from the .7Z files. It can be downloaded from here. 7-zip.org
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sliceburg:
Thank you for the info on converting the Roms! That's the only step I was missing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gavinlew:
this works perfectly on my htc desire (rooted with mcr 3.1 rom)

have downloaded 2 games and they both run fine.

Ubuntu has ecm tools available , just do sudo apt-get install ecm

Then

$unecm nameofimage.ecm nameofimage.bin

and put it on your sdcard.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NicodemPL:
its PSX only or can run PSP games also?

Im really noob in Playstation...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fanello123:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Drewbladez:
Thanks. But I'm still confused on the 33 Files to play one game? does this combine them? or will PSX just read to the next one?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gloom:
Hi all,

Maybe I missed something but I'm unable to find psx4droid on the market :/

I'm using Devillain's Froyo rom on an HTC Desire and no succes. Even with trying to get it with the QR code (thanks google) market failed to find it.

Any one getting the same issue or having any tip ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xtnsion:
someone please clear me, i have downloaded some games in .bin format and compressed them with ecm. Do I have to do this compression or do I just put the games in .bin format on my phone. Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NicodemPL:
use .bin

but not all games are supported
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] denero1:
umm i dont think u need to convert if its already in .bin >.> i just unzipped front mission 3 and started it worked up until actual game play lol

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] UNICORN025:
the emu support roms in bin format you dont need to convert it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lemarg:
did you have to do anything to these files?

cause my resident evils wont work for some reason?

im on a gakaxy s btw
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jta462:
after converting to .bin the roms still will not load on my EVO. Just flashes and goes back to load screen. Do i need plugins? PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE help!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] UNICORN025:
no i just tranferred from my ps3 to psp and to the computer to nexus one it just work.

you should have a eboot.pbp and a keys.bin

mines work great and i left the rom as is.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nicko786:
I've so far downloaded roms in .rar and .zip format and they take hours to download. Am I wasting my time downloading these? I got one from doperoms and the other from emuparadise.

Nevermind, figured it out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] skoobz:
the internets, if you have the physical discs themselves.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] skoobz:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] skylinegtrvspec:
still dont get it please help

ok question if i have a bin file thats a game ok lets say ff7 i tried to open all files i dont see anything that goes by the name of what has been posted here please be specific what to use ok i used winrar it wont open the file says its damaged ok so i used izac and tried to look for the data.bin.ecm file i dont se anything in what file is it really in please help thank you in advance oh ya im using windows 7
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Welshy992:
I think the psx4droid app doesn't work if the game is on internal storage instead of the sd card. Can anyone verify this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] skylinegtrvspec:
hey

where you able to get the data.bin.ecm and how
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] skylinegtrvspec:
alright guy that posted before me any ideas on my situation

got any idea?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NexuGsx:
The ECM file is a re-arranged CD file that aids with compression. Some rom files are obtained this way. A bin or iso should work without the ECM steps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lukeweiler:
This is not so i have tryed using iso's on emulator and none work i have original discs and ripped using ultraiso and have tryed in all formats stated and i just get black screen if anyo ne has any ideas would be greatful
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] attu90:
Ive installed the app and downloaded the scph1001.bin, put scph1001.bin into a folder called PSXoid and directed the app to the .bin file..... so far so good.

Ive then downloaded a few games and converted from .ecm to .bin using unecm.exe and put the games onto my SD card in the PSXoid file.

When I try to run the game the screen goes off to the left for half a second and then reverts back to to the Select a ROM screen, its done it with Ace Combat 3 and Tekken 3 so far ....any ideas ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] carlo0810:
Cant get FM3 to work either, and that was the game i was so looking forward to playjng on my desire..

Working games?

Got it to install...

Any confirmed working games?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uoY_redruM:
I can't be for sure, but we've been told its only working with "some" games to this point. Maybe the games just aren't compatible.

I'm going to check now and see if Final Fantasy Tactics works...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fuzorx:
I had the same problem then I read how to use it. all you have to do is unzip the rar or any other zip file that the ecm is in and just drag it on to the unecm program. It will open up in a cmd, there you go.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] banishedskull:
Ive tried some games that are confirmed that work (final fantasy 7) ive tried it in .bin and iso formats, but im getting the same problem that it just starts to load and then goes back to selecting the rom and doesn't load
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Welshy992:
same problem

Trying to run the .iso for FF7 on a vibrant, keep getting the blank screen. Tried the .bin version too, same result. Other people are claiming "your rom is bad". Not sure what I'm doing wrong, I have the correct bios file.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] renegadedj:
i had a blank screen for about 3mins with FFVII in .bin format. i just waitied and eventually the square enix logo came on. :)~~~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rican408:
i cannot for the life of me get unecm to work... downloaded roms in zip format, then unzipped and searched through to find 7z type file. i try to drag that to unecm. i get a cmd window for like a half a second n thats it. no extra file made or anything obvious like that. running windows xp on my little netbook....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cb7tuner93:
Help

Ok so every Rom I have downloaded is in rar. and when I drag it to unecm cmd window opens and closes within a second what is up, and if I put the rar. files on the sd card under the psx folder (the one I created) it say unsupported files.

What is up, Help please?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] banishedskull:
i just tried it with my friends evo and the same roms work fine, but it will not work on the samsung moment or intercept
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bubbl3:
As you can check on the Android Market support area Belgium is not a country where paid apps are available.

The solution is to google "market enabler" or buy it on the SlideME market (google it i can't post links).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cb7tuner93:
ECM does NOT work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
no no. the file itself should be like example tekken.bin.ecm drag and drop on the ecm and it will open automatically
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psouza4:
There's got to be a problem with the emulator having compatibility issues from system to system. I'm a software developer and have used emulators for years -- I'm certainly not new to this.

I bought the app on SlideMe and have it installed just fine. However, regardless of what format or title I attempt to load with psx4droid, it flashes a black screen for a fraction of a second and then returns to ROM selection. These are NTSC-U ROM images in BIN/CUE, though I've also tried IMG, EBOOT, and ISO. I've re-acquired BIOS's in case mine were corrupt and *all* of the games mount and run on PC emulators.

I'm running a Motorola Droid on CyanogenMod 6 RC2 clocked at 1.1 GHz. I've seen a YouTube of a guy running the same hardware and same software (RC1 clocked 1.0 GHz), so I'm pretty sure host compatibility is good.

There's unfortunately no error messages and I haven't had much luck contacting the dev. I've played with the settings some, but have had no luck getting operation to change any. None of my images are in ECM (or otherwise) compressed format.

Thoughts?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Welshy992:
If it stayed blank for a few minutes I'd definitely wait. But my blank screen always reverts back to rom selection menu after about 2 seconds on its own :(

I have a feeling something on my phone is interfering with the psx4droid app since it works for other vibrant phones. Process of elimination here we go. (sigh)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psouza4:
Yah, that's the same behavior I'm having. Let me know if you come up with anything definitive. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
straight eboot files? no need to extract the isos from the eboot?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] EdwardUong:
Finally get it to work after testing for hours. If your screen goes black, try different games or different ROMS. Don't mess with ecm part unless your ROMS have that extension. Cheers :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eugene19:
I have the exact same problem with HTC desire (OpenDesire 2.3a rom)

I've tried Final Fantasy VII NTSC-J, Tales of Destiny NTSC-J

.iso .img

Also I've tried 1001 and 7502 bios.

no luck....

Perhaps only PAL works???

Anybody got NTSC disks working??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
y would he say that? it works perfectly fine for me and im on 2.2
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psouza4:
Yeah, that was to me yesterday, before I posted today ;) It's working fine with CM6 RC1 and confirmed working with the nightly builds, so a build in between (RC2) should be fine.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psouza4:
Except it probably doesn't -- the dev is actually just saying he hasn't tested it and will look into it. In reality, there are forum posts and YouTube videos of people running their Droid 1's with CM6 RC1 and CM6 nightly builds.

I'm upgrading to a nightly build as we speak, but am skeptical that it'll help. I don't particular think it's the hardware nor OS.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psouza4:
I've made some progress here. The CM6 RC2 using jdlfg's kernel won't run psx4droid, but the default kernel with CM6 nightly (7/28/2010 early morning) did just fine (same BIOS and ROM).

Based on this, I re-installed the same kernel from jdlfg and the emulator still ran fine.

Which leads me to believe that CM6 RC2 will

not

run psx4droid, at least not on a Droid 1.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chronzy:
Several of the roms I've downloaded from Doperoms have had the .ecm file type and this tutorial has been very helpful to me, so thanks to AP3604 for posting! Not all of them have worked though.. Crash Bandicoot's the only thing I have working so far, but it's actually very playable with a wiimote once you kick the refresh rate up to 60, although the sound's terribly laggy. The wiimote's a lot more responsive then I thought. On the downside, Tekken 3 won't run at all and Madden 03 won't get past the EA intro. The potential here is exciting though. Hopefully they'll keep working on it and things will get better over time.

Running CM RC1 on an Evo.

Anyone else has the problem that when using the "flip screen" feature in Landscape mode the screen is totally decalibrated ?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jwoodfo2:
I can't seem to get Final Fantasy VII to load anything past clicking on "New Game." Anyone have a fix for this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] boostguru:
Exact same problem here, except after following the step by step, the game (FF7) loaded no problems the first time, and only one time (though i didnt try to navigate past the first screen), after that it does as you described, over, and over, and over. I've been using emulators a bit here and there, not a complete noob but i definately need pointers from time to time, i dont think psx4droid is the problem in my case, but ill keep my eyes peeled for diagnostics!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Welshy992:
Got it working. Used my original iso from the disc. The torrent iso are garbage. If you really want to play go to gamestop get the cheap ass ps games and rip em. Seriously, torrented iso just crap.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] boostguru:
update to my previous post, got both FF7 and Brave Fencer Musashi working tonight! woop! I must have adjusted the settings of the emulator in some stupid way that the roms wouldnt load (i think what made it work for me was disabling "quick load on start"). Hearing FF7 load up took me waaaayy back. :p oh by the way, both run near flawlessly, brave fencer musashi has some popping in the audio and runs just a tad bit slow in some fights, but nothing too bad i still enjoy it! FF7 runs flawless so far, audio is great.

Im on a galaxy S, Samsung Vibrant to be exact.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Welshy992:
Anyone notice the fight sequence in ff7 sped up a little faster than usual? Not really a complaint... Maybe this isn't the original iso...dang. Meh, still works
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] So_Studious:
Thats crazy because i did everything correct on my EVO and when I load a game it goes to a black screen and returns to the load a rom screen. Did you do anything different. I guess Ill try it on my Droid.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NoDataFound:
This process works on OSX (10.6.4)

I saw early on in this thread a question about mac support. This process does work and I can confirm it does.

To open the .7z to get to the data.bin.ecm files, you need: keka

To convert the data.bin.ecm files to the .bins that you need, download the ECM: GUI port for Mac OS X. (or im sure a port install ecm might do it)

To open that .sit file, just grab stuffit expander for mac.

Then follow the steps on page one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gabsmabs:
i'm absolutely the same mate. the instructions are confusing at this point.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kpjimmy:
Your main goal is to get a .bin file. You would need the unecm.exe to convert TO a bin file from a .bin.ecm file. A little confusing yes. My roms are usually in .7z format and I use another program to convert to data.ecm. Then open another window where you have the downloaded unecm.exe file and drag the data.ecm file to the unecm.exe file and that would open a msdos window automatically and you should see the file convert into its own folder where you pulled the original ecm file. This should take about 3-5 mins depending on your comp. Hope that helps.

I have done everything exactly as posted!..but when psx asks me too select a rom and I select my game (bin) it just goes to a black screen and then back to the rom selection...help
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kpjimmy:
Have you tried another rom to test if its either the rom or bios file or something else.

And another note, when I have finally successfully converted the .bin file, I usually rename it from data.bin to like FFIX.bin, as an example.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NeonMonster:
I was able to finally successfully get the BIN's running on PSX4Droid, but the frame-rate is horribly laggy.

I was SO excited to get Tomba running and it seemed like it would play perfectly but it has some really bad stutter and lag on my Nexus. Other than changing the frame-rate setting, is there anything that will fix this?

It might be the rom itself, but i started getting boxes on the screen then the colors inverted randomly
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tisha5:
I'm having the same problem loading games.
