known also as the PSX, is a beloved platform that shaped many a ’90s kid’s childhood.

Have years of gaming memories in the palm of your hands by combining the flexibility of Android and the powerful emulation software available to you on the Google Play Store.

Downloading PSX Games and Emulator

Download the ISO. In the description page, scroll down until you see the “Download Now” button. Some sites will use hosting services for the files, so do not be alarmed when the link takes you to a site called FileHippo, Zippyshare, or something similar. Generally, they will display an ad on the screen, but you will be able to skip the ad after a few seconds by tapping on the “Skip Ad” button somewhere at the top of the screen.

• You should then be taken to the download page, where you can tap the “Download Now” button, which will make a notification appear in the status bar of your device. Once the progress bar reaches 100%, the download will have finished. The default location for the ISO files should be in the Download folder in your device’s internal memory.
• ISO files can vary in size, depending on the game. Games with more intense graphics and 3D models should be larger (like Resident Evil) than sidescrolling platformer games (like Megaman X). These files can range from 1.5-3GB+ to 500MB in size.

 

Launch the emulator. The icon for PSX emulators generally have PSX themes, such as the iconic PlayStation buttons or the original PlayStation in top view. Tap the icon for your chosen emulator to launch the application.

• If you don’t have an emulator yet, you can download one from Google Play. There are several to choose from, like ePSXe, FPSe, ClassicBoy, to name a few.
  Load the game. Emulators vary in format and user interface. Generally, the app will let you select the folder where it will scan for ISO files. Some emulators, like ePSXe, feature a Refresh button at the top right corner that will automatically scan the storage to find the games. 
  • Once the list is populated, choose the ISO file of the game you downloaded by tapping on it.
