Reviews for ePSXe for Android

Ok, except for lacking controller support. I am using this app on 2 of my devices. With my phone, I am trying to set up my 8BitDo Zero 2 controller. The Dpad will not work, no matter what I do. It works in system menus and will even let me map them to the controller scheme in the input menu. However, when I get in game, it doesn't do anything. I have made several tests and it works perfectly on other consoles. Even playing re4 on switch it works great. So the problem is with the emulator.

Pretty amazing. I was able to play a game from my childhood that I haven't played, or couldn't play in so long. Thanks to this program, I'm able to play Digimon World 3 in pretty good quality, and it won't crash like my old disc version would. I recomend this app to anyone who wishes to, re-enter the classics of the Ps1 era, reliving the nostalgia of these games, and always, have a fun play session.

This is absolutely amazing. Yo guys, I'm literally playing on my ps4 controller this is incredible. Ps1 was my first system and to be able to play all my favorites with the convenience of a controller is just jaw dropping. Right now I'm playing RE3 and it runs smooth with the joystick. The buttons don't map correctly but it's just a slight inconvenience.

ePSXe has been an enjoyable experience in almost every way. My biggest issue is that my save files don't always match up with the save I've just made. I mostly play Legend of Dragoon, and when I save in-game, the memory card will update from 24hrs to 36hrs of play time, but when I go to save at the next save point, the game will show the 26hrs playtime save file, and not the 36hrs file. Save states have been a good workaround, but I would like to have both save files and save states working.

Out of all the emulators I've tried using to play PS1 games this one works the best. I was a little worried about spending money on something that may not work. But I gotta say it was definitely worth it. If you're on the fence about buying this, then I gotta say you should just do it. It's worth it to get the games to run flawlessly where other emulators can't. Besides If you have issues there's a refund option.

Works but has issues. Games play flawlessly, but running into an issue where I can't add more games to my "play list". My phone will install them no problem, so i have space, but ePSXe won't even attempt to load files after 9 or 10 games. The app itself is a DEFINITE 5 STAR simply because I have Dino Crisis, TLOD, and Ridge Racer R4 with me anywhere. I just can't figure out why I can't add more games to it. Really pissing me off.

I got the update and the Ps4 controller support is working great. There is still a little maintenance to be done though. I've seen that if you use the GPU plugin feature there are a few games with textures that are a little out of place or not fully texturized on a certain specific game. I've had a few times using the plugin on Final Fantasy 9 where the *interact symbol* wasn't fully texturized. This could be worth looking into but, other than that its been amazing. Keep up the good work. 😁👍

Amazing! I have used ePSXe for nearly 20 years on my PC to play PSX games. The Android version is even better than the one I use on PC. (It should be, since the PC version is free.) I play Final Fantasy games mostly. On PC I have a handful of graphical glitches in FF7, really no big deal but something easy to notice. This version has no graphical glitches that I have seen after about 2 hours of playing. If you use HappyChick, uninstall that first to avoid problems using xbox360/ps4 controllers.

This is a fantasfic PS1 emulator. it runs at a fairly smooth 60FPS on my S7 Edge, I have only seen a few frame drops, but they typically don't last long, and this is at 2x Resolution. It has native gamepad support, which I was unable to get working on FPSE. I have been running through MGS1 with an Xbox One S controller through bluetooth and had no issues.

My only complaint is that it doesn't connect to the Razor Kishi mobile controller 🎮 for Android devices. It's kinda disappointing because some games are almost impossible to play without a controller. Screen buttons are ok but for fighting games and racing games definitely need real controller. If you fix this I'd rate this app as high as possible!! Thank you for your time to listen.

Just purchased yesterday and it runs smooth 60fps just like on my PC! I have the Galaxy Note 8 and have no lag, crashes etc. All games work perfect. The controls can be difficult for some games, but I just hook up my Xbox One controller via Bluetooth and problem fixed! Definitely worth it, I'd pay way more for the classics so this is a steal!

I had this a few years back on a tablet, and it worked fine, but had a few glitches. Today though, it's so smooth! Ive been playing Chrono Cross and any time I out the game down, even if I closed it out, it still picks back up right where I left off. Been using my PS4 controller and that's been awesome. Took a second to configure and there's still some weirdness on whether my button mapping remains consistent (and that headache lost it a star). Wish there was a way to mute the app, but oh well.

Love it. Had a problem with missing save states and the devs got back to me right away. Great customer support. If I had one gripe, and maybe this is on me for not being able to figure it out, but I can't get it to enable certain special feature buttons on the gamepad. I wanted to enable the fast forward button for some of the old J-Rpgs and it just won't work for me. Still a great app though. Definitely worth the price.

Great emu app. Easy to work with, easy to get games to install and run. I haven't had much issue. My only real complaint is that, at least as far as I can tell, you can only have 15 games installed to your library. Why? It's the PS1. There's like seven quintillion titles available, 10% classic. Addendum: It appears the app actually just bricks and doesn't let you add ANY more games whenever it feels like. First time was 15, but after unintalling and reinstalling it was 7, then 6, then 8. Tf?

Great Emulator. Giving 3 star because I couldn't get the Swap Disc function to work, and yes I looked at different instructions and tried everything I could. The other problem is, there's no way to manage your game list. For example, downloading a ROM that doesn't work. You are now stuck with that dead title in the list unable to delete it from your list. If a delete function could be added and the swap disc fixed, this will be a 5 star app, until then, it's 3 stars.

Pretty dope. Playing SOTN on my phone is awesome. Got a couple other games I'm gonna try but so far the games themselves work fine. Only issue I've had so far is with setting up an external controller via Bluetooth. I don't have an OTG cable (yet) which means I can only start by trying to set up my ps4 controller. It identified it right away so that much was fine. But then when I tried to play it MAJOR input lag. Idk if it was just with my device but I have since only used the on screen pad.

Hands down my favorite PlayStation 1 emulator of all time. I'm editing my review because I thought it could not save files but I just did further testing and it created a save. Still the most lag free PS1 emulator ever. The Android version is superior to the PC one in my opinion. PCSX1 and swan station have audio clicks. I don't get that with epsxe. There seems to be a one to two minute save delay. Please add a notification for when saving is completed if possible. Thank you for making this!

I'm using it on a high end Android TV Box. It was a breeze mapping my Bluetooth gamepad. It runs any PS1 ISO image you care to throw at it and runs them flawlessly. This is a very old emulator but is still being constantly updated. It's probably the best PS1 emulator for both Android and PC. I've been using it on PC for years and it didn't let me down on Android. PS1 games don't really need high end hardware to run well. YES, you will have to remap the buttons for each new gamepad. It's best to find a really good gamepad you like, map it once and stick with the same gamepad. It has certainly earned a 5 star rating.

Great so far! Love being able to play my PS1 games in 60fps. One weird thing I noticed, I have an 8Bitdo Lite controller (the one with 3 d-pads). It registers two of the dpads as the same input but only allows me to use the one closer to the abxy buttons. This makes playing a little bit uncomfortable. This is probably just an issue with the controller rather than the emulator, but it would be nice to have a bit more control over button mapping.

This is a really great PS1 emulator for android (best one I got so far), well worth my money. The frame rate is smooth, although I'm not really sure what it's capped at since I haven't checked to see if I can show the fps yet, but it runs good enough and no audio skips from what I heard, except maybe a few when a certain word in line is skipped like when I played Rainbow Six and the narrator said, "The year is 19 9" but that only happened once, so it's fine.
