PlayStation Emulator Now on Android
ZodTTD has released a working PlayStation (One) emulator on the Android Market.
Looking for a way to play your old PlayStation favorites on a handheld devices? Android owners are in luck, as a new emulator from ZodTTD has landed on the Android Market over the weekend for $5.99. Although the app doesn't come pre-loaded with the Sony console's BIOS and games, it does appear to function rather well on the faster, high-end Android devices.
According to the release notes, the emulator reads formats BIN, ISO, IMG, PBP, Z, ZNX, and Eboot. The app also supports the use of the WiiMote controller, the trackball and the D-pad, scaling modes, virtual control overlays, and more. Users on the go can save instantly and pick back up where they left off later.
Naturally not every game will work with this emulator. Performance depends on the actual titles, version of BIOS, and the device hardware. Many users are posting game compatibility issues here in this forum post, indicating that many perform exceptionally well while others simply won't load.
As an example, the original Crash Bandicoot is playable but feels somewhat laggy and suffers from sound issues on the Motorola Droid (v2.1). Raiden II and Raiden DX apparently play smooth with sound enabled on the HTC Droid Incredible. But as seen with other emulators (no matter the console), many titles will never work correctly.
In addition to the PlayStation emulator, ZodTTD is currently working on a Nintendo 64 emulator for Android and Apple devices.

aww that crash bandicoot picture takes me back..
Wipeout 2097 on my HTC Desire? I think so (hopefully)
Back to the good old days!
And I thought having Megaman X on my Evo was awesome.
My brother just showed me NES and other gameboy emulators on his droid, made me very jealous
oh sweet ff7 on droid, how awesome is that ^^
Oh nice, "Brave Fencer Musashi" -- good game. Now, where can we get these classic games?
My wife would sh** if she could play those old Spyro games on her T-Mobile MyTouch! She LOVED those!
Hmm, Twisted Metal 2 on my Droid? Only if it works well though...don't want any more tech. headachess
What I want is an app to turn the Droid into a PSP
I wish they would make a Sega Saturn emulator. God I was such a fool to be suckered in to buying a Sega Saturn, 'Sega are the best', 'the Satrun will rule' all my friends told me. So when I get back to school after the Christmas break I find out everyone has been buying PS1's..........not a happy teenager.

same thing happened to me
it was worth it, because i got to play panzer dragoon saga. but now the lack of emulators means i can't go back to that game. its better to have loved and lost...

Oh man... I'm right there with you. I can remember every single level and step of that entire game. Gotta love the good old days, when graphics were simpler and people didn't throw gameplay out the window in order to fail at making their games beautiful.
the jailbroken iphone market had this for awhile. i just hope the more powerful iphone 4 will bring about n64 emulators (PS2 emulators are still a long ways off)
Hmmm..have anyone tested this on Legend and/or Desire?
Emulation on the go. Woo~! I am for it.
OMG... it's not about apple! People! Shout and scream - THG posted an article about Android - with no references to apple!
