[Epic 4G Themes] Dman10:
That's probably the best I've seen any game run on a phone
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:
DIABLO! :D

Extremely excited for playing games with the keyboard/gamegrip. I never am able to finish games on my emu's because touchscreen can be irritating at times. Specially with the limited multitouch on the nexus.

Been finding all my favorite psx games that I intend to play! ;) Gonna need a bigger MicroSD!
[Epic 4G Themes] Dman10:
The Epic does come with a 16GB... how much more could you possibly need for Roms?
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:
I wasn't aware it was coming with a 16GB! I'm assuming a generic class 2.

Class 6 16GBs are about 70 bucks on Amazon. Thinking about investing in one of those babies! :)

But when it comes to PSX roms, 16GB isn't THAT much. Average PSX rom is about 300-700MB, so about 5 games can take up about 2GBs which is a fair amount!
[Epic 4G Themes] radar5:
So that's about 40 games you could put on there? Do you even need more than 5 games at a time? As I told my friend, load up Dead or Alive and you should be good till your next phone comes out.
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:
Noo there are only about 10 psx games that i seriously play, but you have to think about GBA, SNES, GBC games plus all the other apps and music you put on your phone! ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] ilovemytilt1:
Its actually 16gb of on board memory. I remember the reviewers saying it came with a 2gb sd with avatar on it. At least Tmo's version does anyway
[Epic 4G Themes] Dman10:
T-mobile and AT&T get 16GB on board, and Sprint and Verizon get 16GB Micro-SD, the Epic only has 1GB on board. You also get Asphalt 5 on the Epic, and T-Mobile got Avatar.
[Epic 4G Themes] ohwut:
It is perfectly possible. The SixAxis worked wonderfully on my old Nokia N900, the guys that did it also open sourced all their code so maybe someone could look into it, I certainly don't have the time though =[
[Epic 4G Themes] rufflez2010:
Yeah, the ps3 controllers are definitely Bluetooth. Would be cool. The issue I would think is how the controller pairs, as you need to pair it through USB first (on the ps3). Finding a way to bypass that is the trick
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:
Whattt? What a ripoff!

I was really excited to hear that the phone was gonna be 16GB ONBOARD memory.

1GB is fine i guess, but onboard memory is so much better than a Class 2 card. :P
[Epic 4G Themes] Dman10:
Yeah, and It's kinda weird that Verizon's Fascinate gets 2GB onboard with a 16GB Micro SD, and I'm willing to bet that they're going to give us class 2 cards.
[Epic 4G Themes] islanda73:
Thats awesome I totally want that now thats i know it possible.

Psx4Droid Samsung Spica

Hi anyone here successfully play psx4droid on samsung spica

i have already tested the iso on epsxe but when i but failed to run on spica
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:
Wrong forum. This is the Samsung Epic forum.

PSX4Droid runs with problems on my Nexus, I don't think anything under a 1GHz processor could run PSX emulators.
[Epic 4G Themes] vavaud:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the phone only see a max of 32Gb (counting both on-board and SD card)?
[Epic 4G Themes] ippikiokami:
So in general does the emulators run better on the Samsung Galaxy based phones? I have an Evo but i would trade it for the Epic just on this fact alone
[Epic 4G Themes] BeerChameleon:
Do they have a class 10 micro sd card 32gb? Or a class 6 16 or 32gb microsd card?
[Epic 4G Themes] Dman10:
I've never heard of more than a class 6 card, but I

CAN

be wrong. Even then I don't think that the class will matter for actual use of the phone, just data transfer and stuff like that.
[Epic 4G Themes] BeerChameleon:
So the classed have nothing to do with how things run on the card besides transfering file speed. Like say i want to run like psx 4 droid on the sd card when froyo is available. Would it slow down performance wit the type of sd card i have? or shouldnt matter if its on the phone or sd card. cause if not then theres no downside to the epic for space on device.
[Epic 4G Themes] Dman10:
Not at all. It will just take a few seconds longer to load a ROM on psx4droid, And class 2 cards mean they get a minimum transfer rate of 2mbp/s, although I have a generic microSD and it sometimes gets like 300kbp/s, but I just think that it's because it's generic. The Epic comes with a Samsung 16GB card, and we don't even know what class that is, but I can assure you that it will have no lower than 2mbp/s. If any of that makes sense.
[Epic 4G Themes] BeerChameleon:
How long will it take to load the rom for psx? So it wont cause lag in the game once its loaded right?
[Epic 4G Themes] Dman10:
It'll probably take about 5 seconds and after that it doesn't use the Micro SD at all while you play, except for when you save.
[Epic 4G Themes] tpma4life:
Did anyone else see the title of the video? It doesn't say playstation..it says psp. So is this running a psp? I don't think so because to my knowledge Diablo hasn't come out for PSP..but still.
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
nah, it says psp "eboots" which are the format in which ps1 games are played on the psp. I'm pretty sure that was the ps1 diablo
[Epic 4G Themes] chris5h:
The phone comes with a 16GB Class 2 Samsung brand (duh) MicroSD.

I have PSX4Droid on my Epic and it runs great. I have a few games and they run really well (Crash Bandicoot, FTW) with little to no lag depending on the title. Even with hardware keyboard, many titles are very hard to control.
[Epic 4G Themes] jtmercutio:
Completely off topic, but everytime I see your signature, I hear carl from ATHF's voice... then see the avatar and realize that is who you are quoting lol. I love ATHF! Have you heard the Carl Soundboard in the android market?

/off topic
[Epic 4G Themes] Whosdaman:
No it's 32 GB external and hwever much you can get internal. But, the Epic is special....from what I've heard from the engineers in sprint the Epic is suppose to be able to read 64 GB sd cards
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
it'll be a long time (a year or two) before those become commercial, or affordable

here's some epic psx4droid action
[Epic 4G Themes] spongaweb:
Got my 16GB class6 for about $30 at Fry's many months ago
[Epic 4G Themes] hydralisk:
The Epic is still choking on Castlevania Symphony of the Night. Just a side scroller too. I'm convinced that most phones can run the PSX emulator at the same speed. The Epic is no better or worse than my EVO with this. I attribute this to how the emulator is coded. Seems like it could use a LOT of work, as the GPU on this phone should be able to handle anything the PSX can spit out.
[Epic 4G Themes] spongaweb:
Anyone having problems detecting the /.psx4droid while searching? Instead I just made a folder called /psx4droid and put bios and compressed game file in there.

Maybe I am overlooking something but when itried yesterday the screen just stayed black or maybe I never selected the right game image
[Epic 4G Themes] ghostrid3r:
Don't let the instructions confuse and/or over complicate things for you.

1) Get psx4droid from android market or other source.

2) Find a psx/psp in either .bin or .iso format.

3) Google schp1001.bin file

4) Make a folder called "PSXdroid". Within that folder, there should be com.zodttd.psx.v1.1.apk, schp1001.bin, and "yourgame.bin".

5) Run the apk installer, then you should see "yougame.bin" in folder option.

6) A black screen will kick in and if the game works you will see the intro load up.

Note: no need to convert game .bin files to .bin.ecm format. Also, if you obtain a .iso, just rename it to .bin and drop it into the PSXdroid folder in ur SD card, then load it.

Hope that helps, Let the games begin! ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] Hitorii:
Poster above me ^^ Mine works and was 100% more simple.

I created a ROM folder on my SD card root just for lack of clutter

Named a folder PSX just to organize and placed my BIOS 1001 file in there, as well as my roms. Point psx4droid at the bios then the ISO of my rom (suikoden II FTW)

Runs just fine.

SO my findings are, SUIDKODEN II RUNS 100% FULL SPEED WITH SOUND! WooooooOTTT!!!

For those of you who don't know what suikoden II is, google. Best RPG game for the playstation and probably all time.
[Epic 4G Themes] spongaweb:
BADA BING BADA BOOM!!! Why are your instructions not at top?

CHEERS!!

Oh yeah I bought the app, so you don't have to place it in there and than install. Just put the BIOS and .bin game file together.
[Epic 4G Themes] Shadomastr:
Hey guys,

Downloaded psx4droid off the market today. Followed all the instructions on zodttd's psx4droid page on how to set up ff7. However step #6 or 7 when it says to double click to extract the .rar I get 3 messages saying that I cannot archive the file and that the file is contaminated (can't remember the exact word they used). It seems that the problem is with the winRAR program I downloaded, the files themselves, or with the computer. I tried redownloading the files from the same site but it didn't seem to help.

Any suggestions would be great. Finally got the epic in my hands and can't do the one thing I've been dying to try out haha.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Themes] spongaweb:
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Download 7-zip and it is a Universal Unzipper for all file types.
[Epic 4G Themes] Shadomastr:
Okay turned out the file was corrupt. I got a new file, everything went fine. I was able to convert to .bin and move the file to my phone. But, when I choose the rom on my phone it simply shows a black screen. When I touch the screen it vibrates but nothing else.

Please help! This is awful haha!
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:
If you have the correct bin file, then its the ROMs problem.

It should be in IMG, or BIN format.

If it doesn't work, most likely the rom is corrupted.

I've found a few games that run flawlessly on the emulator, including sound! Haven't had time to play em much though. We need the game grip!
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
This app seriously needs an update, with all the epic's power, every game should run just fine. for me that hasn't been the case.
[Epic 4G Themes] ImSoHungry:
Same here, I think it needs some optimization. Chrono Trigger runs far smoother on SNES than PSX, on PSX the load times are annoying when on the SNES they are instant.
[Epic 4G Themes] Masterface7:
What games have you found that run flawlessly I don't suppose any of the final fantasy's? I have tried ff 7,8,9 and tactics and they all run but I would not say flawlessly and the sounds definitely isn't great. Also chrono cross ran pretty bad for me.

I havn't gotten the audio to play in the ff8 intro yet has anybody had any luck? i have tried multiple roms still with no luck getting it to work.

Edit: I just did some file transfer test with the sd card that came with my phone and it is pretty high quality. I got write speed of 8 MB/s and read speeds of 13 MB/s
[Epic 4G Themes] Gipionocheiyort:
I have FF7 running perfectly. Tactics too.

When I first tried them with the default settings the video played fine, but the sound sucked. To me playing FF7 with crappy sound wasn't an option, so I started screwing around with settings.

Long story short...somehow setting the framerate to the max fixed my sound issues (and didn't change the video at all). I haven't really played Tactics much, but I've played a decent amount of 7 and it runs perfectly. The only issue I've seen is sometimes a slight (barely noticable) slowdown in the music when going into/out of battles, but that only happens when I have a bunch of background processes running at the same time.
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:
So far games that run well:

Brave Fencer Musashi

Persona, Persona 2

Suidoken 1 & 2

Digimon World 2 & 3

Worms World Party
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
oooh worms, that was my game back in the day. can't wait for the game grip
[Epic 4G Themes] ImSoHungry:
I can add a few that I have to that list;

Alundra

Twisted Metal 4

Metal Slug X

Mortal Combat Trilogy

Diablo

Syphon Filter

Xenogears

I have a lot of PSX discs that I backed up a while ago to PBP, Iso, Cso, and Dax formats, the other 80 or so I converted from PSP images.

Now where is our gamepad!
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
Crash Bandicoot-works

[Epic 4G Themes] hydralisk:
Just a warning to all you Epic users: this project was pretty much abandoned. The emulator does NOT use the GPU in the Epic\any phone. It runs just as slow on the Epic as it does on snapdragon phones... and there are a lot of games that don't work at all.
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
how do you know it's abandoned? It was developed partially by yongzh and he always stays up with updates on his apps. just be patient....
[Epic 4G Themes] ImSoHungry:
Yo hydralisk, wanna get down with some 2v2?
[Epic 4G Themes] bwhxeon:
Got front mission 3 working by loading a previously saved game. Game appears to run fine till you start fighting and then it slows down to a crawl and freezes.
[Epic 4G Themes] rufflez2010:
I love twisted metal. Was my favorite game on psx. I didn't own one, but my friends did. Been thinking about buying it for the ps3 in the playstation store.
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
it's not abandoned.... zodtdd said he is working on the update currently
[Epic 4G Themes] kennethlongshaw:
How did you get metal slug x working? I select a character and get stuck from there.

is yours an iso, bin or a pspboot, etc. what settings?
[Epic 4G Themes] bobdude5:
not true he zodttd is working on the update he just puts ios first..and it runs much faster on the epic than it does on the evo. Try tenchu 2 and crash bandicoot, they both run reallly fast on the epic and slow on the evo
[Epic 4G Themes] playcs:
this also works for all psp games?
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
no this does not work with psp games unfortuantely. psp games require at least dual core proccesor
[Epic 4G Themes] theresthatguy:
what's got 2 thumbs and RE1 on his Epic? ...........THIS GUY!
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:

I got Resident Evil 1, 2, AND 3 on my Epic right now! Currently enjoying 3/Nemesis, but i'm surprised that ALL three RE run almost completely 100% without any lag!! :D
[Epic 4G Themes] theresthatguy:
Right? I laugh at my room mate's PSP.
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
zod said in his tweets, that he is pushing out or finishing up an update for it right now
[Epic 4G Themes] mastarifla:
v1.3 is out

Gonna try playing MGS/FF8/Chrono Cross and see if its any better.

Last time I tried... (v1.1)

Chrono Cross was playable

FF8 had audio issues

MGS I didn't try

After Update

Chrono Cross plays worse... (audio slow)

FF8's cutscenes were much smoother, however no audio?

MGS cut to black screen :(
[Epic 4G Themes] :
did you clear out your cache before you loaded the update? ive noticed problems with some apps that had issues that continued to exist unless i cleared the app cache.
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
he's made a flurry of updates in the last day, unfourtnately none of them seem that good :(
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:
I'm using 1.5, and not sure how I feel about it yet.

My Resident Evil 3 save file is playing just fine, but I noticed a door/cutscene had LOTS of artifacts that didn't show with the 1.1 save.

Backed up the older version just incase 1.5 is booboo. :(
[Epic 4G Themes] rawsoup:
it really is a disappointment after all that anticipation and buildup. But i guess he's trying his best. I dunno jack about developing so I'm not one to judge
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:
Actually, i found out the version i was using was 1.3 NOT 1.5. It was really bad! Haven't tried 1.5 yet.

1.1 is the best version that i've had the most luck with!
[Epic 4G Themes] xinginteg:
Anybody tried the 1.6 yet, its is completely unplayable, its worse than my tp2. After every update it just gets slower and slower, updated it this time to see if it got fixed. Trying to figure out a way to go back to the 1.1
[Epic 4G Themes] Masterface7:
I have 1.61 and the sound is completely jacked up.
[Epic 4G Themes] xinginteg:
Yea its pretty bad, when I first got it the original crash for example worked great. So did every other game I used it for. Now they run at less than 4 frames a second and sound is pretty bad. I give him credit for being the only trying just sad that it gets worse after every update, at least on the hummingbird chipset
[Epic 4G Themes] Xhyperion:
the sound goes really slowly for me in FF7. I am not happy. It feels a little sluggish but I overclocked and its not that bad.
[Epic 4G Themes] Darkshneider:
Now when you guys say fully working, you mean working like on a PSX or just playable and enjoyable?
[Epic 4G Themes] pg2k3:
As I have said in another forum, PSX4Droid in its current state only uses software rendering which causes a huge bottleneck in performance. If hardware rendering was being used then the graphics would not look grainy as if you are merely watching a low res video of the game you are playing! Until hardware rendering is introduced, I'm not wasting my time on this one.
[Epic 4G Themes] Xhyperion:
they fixed the audio. Seems like it could go a bit quicker in FF7.
[Epic 4G Themes] Masterface7:
Are you talking about ver 1.7? I would say it is better but definitely not fixed, and certainly not better than older versions like 1.1 or 1.5. Just listen to the sound effects when selecting a new game.

The problem is there are no other options unless you can convince fpsce to put one in the market.
[Epic 4G Themes] pg2k3:
Coding an emulator that uses hardware rendering is very time consuming due to the vast variations in computer and now phone hardware! It took ePSXe years to get it perfect. However, if they made various plugins that are chosen based on the CPU/GPU detected it could work quite nicely.

Bottom line. If they can lower CPU Utilization from graphics rendering then all these sound buffer tweaks wouldn't be necessary.
[Epic 4G Themes] lviv73:
We need update badly cuz it runs to fast on epic while music is chopy,but I still love this emulator,if he just polished this up I wouldnt mind paying even 10bucks for it.
[Epic 4G Themes] noxad:
Memory Card Saves Not Sticking

Anyone else seen this problem?

I recently installed psx4droid Lite and started playing FF7. Game works well enough and I save at the first save point. Save looks to be recorded just fine. Exit the save menu, go back to game, then back to save menu. Save is still there.

Shut down psx4droid, then run again. Run FF7 and choose the "Continue" option. Navigate to the memory card location. Save is gone.

It looks like the memory card files are saved here:

* .pxs4droid/mcd001.mcr

* .pxs4droid/mcd002.mcr

I've verified that the files are not being modified when I save (used a diff app to compare a before and after version).

Thoughts?
[Epic 4G Themes] noxad:
Also should mention that I've tried the standard troubleshooting routes of uninstalling the app, deleting those files, reinstalling, etc. but to no avail.

Next I'll probably try an older version of the app.
[Epic 4G Themes] noxad:
Anyone know where I can find an older version of the app...? I've come up empty in my search.
[Epic 4G Themes] cnuckols1:
Tried to search but it says the search function is down. Does anyone know what the bios file is that the psx emu is asking for on launch? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] Koadic:
Yeah, the PSX bios, something like SCPH1001.bin or something. It is the original 'firmware' for the PlayStation console and is needed for the emulator to operate properly.
[Epic 4G Themes] Krojian:
psx4droid Lite doesn't allow saved games. You have to get the full psx4droid.
[Epic 4G Themes] noxad:
Thank you Krojian. I had assumed that it was like SNesoid Lite, where you can save to the memory card with the lite version, but you can't save/load game state. Just re-read the lite version description of psx4droid and verified what you said. Guess I didn't pay close enough attention the first time.
