But to answer your question no, no roms are included.

I wouldn't be surprised if you had to search for the BIOS files yourself too.]]>Jul 25th 2010 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/
I don't know the story behind this one, but it's very unlikely that it was written from scratch for Android. Probably a port of an emu that'd be free on the PC - an effort to cash in on previous work. Not that there's anything wrong with that.]]>Jul 25th 2010 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/Jul 25th 2010 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/You are an idiot.

... What? Looking into this just a little bit: it was not written from scratch for Android, as I said. It's a port of the iPhone version, which itself is a port of PCSX - an open source emulator that's free on the PC. Exactly as I said.

Why the hate? I appreciate ZodTTD's efforts as much as anyone. ]]>Jul 25th 2010 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/Jul 25th 2010 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/Jul 25th 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/You can say that the guy has never played FFVII before lol.

This is so nostalgic... it's overwhelming.... a few games came to mind as soon as I saw this:

- Final Fantasy 7
- Breath of Fire 3 & 4
- Twisted Metal 2 & 3
- Vigilante 8
- Mega Max X2
- Bloody Roar
- Legacy of Kain (was epic and should be remade)
- Driver
- Einhänder (another epic game that should be remade)
- Grand Theft Auto 2

...and the list could go on forever. Playstation had a lot of great games. I would pay to get them all back.]]>Jul 25th 2010 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/ive spent the last 5 hours looking for any of the colony war games

Controls are the least of my concerns. I'd like for audio to come through for once. The last few iPhone versions were horrible because the audio either didn't work, or worked at half the speed of the game. Here's to hoping the iPhone 4 does it better than the previous iPhones could.]]>Jul 25th 2010 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/
I am not kidding. Sure, RPGs without action elements might be among the easiest games to play, although I'd still argue they'd be frustrating.

However, many games since 1998 make use - or even require use of - the analog sticks. Also, many games make use of the L and R buttons as modifier keys. These won't be playable at all.

I'd even argue that iPhone games with virtual gamepads (looking at you, Gameloft!) are pretty hard to play compared to ones that have been designed for touchscreen]]>Jul 25th 2010 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/
FFVII won't be unplayable but it of course would be better for Square-Enix to release the actual game for the iPhone or Android markets as with FFI or FFII with the revamped touch optmized touch interface.]]>Jul 25th 2010 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/Your just wrong. Psxiphone is a blast to play.
You mention.1998 but you fail to realize the majority of games did not use the joysticks]]>Jul 25th 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/Also. It seems you have never played it on a touch screen. FF is easy as help to play. ]]>Jul 25th 2010 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/Not true. Most games from 1998 and later made use of the sticks, though only a few *required* them.
That said, I regard the L1/L2/R1/R2 issue much more severe in addition to the general suckiness of most on-screen d-pads and controls.

You're right, I haven't played this on a touchscreen but I have indeed played a lot of other emulated games on touchscreen devices. Even with the iPhone's brilliant touchscreen layer, games can be very challenging because of poor controls - native ones too!]]>Jul 25th 2010 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/psx4droid-brings-spiky-haired-protagonists-to-your-googlephone/Custom on-screen layouts for controls.
