So I was doing some research last night to try and get Kingdom Hearts on my phone. I was successful, but the quality of the game is horrible. I even tried a couple different downloads.
This is what I did:
I downloaded the full version of psx4droid, downloaded the bios, downloaded the game rom and downloaded androzip.
I put all of them in a folder in my sd card. Used androzip to extract the bios and the game rom zip file. Then I opened psx4droid and located the bio and set it. Then search for the game rom and launched it. The game plays fine, with no stalls what so ever. But for some reason the quality of the game is really bad, and when I go in to the setting and change the ratio to original size the game size is really tiny.
What I don't understand is the normal size of this game has a larger aspect ratio so why would it be smaller? Does anyone know any tricks on how to get a better quality out of any of the roms games? Thanks
Psx4droid isn't very good. You have to get fpse from the market, it's a pay app but it's worth it. I'm playing ff7 right now with a good framerate and full working sound.

Do know where I can find a full tutorial on how to do it. I have a few playstation games, and ps2 games that I would like to get on my phone but having no luck.
1. Download the FPSE app from the market.
2. Download the psx bios from here:
http://www.roms4droid.com/bios/SCPH1001.zip
3. Open up FPSE, it will automatically prompt you to select the bios. (I recommend putting all roms and the bios file in a folder on your external sd card)
4. Select the ROM you want to play.
Everything should automatically scale to full screen with fpse. Also, fpse only reads IMG and ISO files I believe.
For some roms you have to enable spusync for the audio to play correctly (ff7 being one of those roms). Enable it by menu -> audio -> spusync.
And there are no emulators available currently that will run a PS2 game.

Thank you. I tried three different downloads of that rom and still the quality is horrible. The size ratio when I set it to original is really small, it must be that rom is the only one on the web. I am downloading FFVIII to give that a try. Thank you for the instructions, at least I am doing it correctly. Just need to find a better rom.

I've never tried kingdom Hearts but every rom I did try (xenogears, suikoden, ff7, tenchu) ran flawlessly and at full screen by default.

Its got to be that rom then. I just finished downloading all the cds for ff8. About to give it a try.
Do you know if I will run in to a problem when I finish disc one and start disc two? Will it let me proceed with my saved data like normal?
Still no luck, I put the .zip file in the folder, I used a third party app to extract it in the same location, than tried to play it......."cannot find bin file..... .bin file must be named as the .cue file."
Finally got it....wow....that tool alot more research.... I had to take the zip files, extract the .bin files from them and then zip them using a unecm file that I found online which converted them to a rom format....works awesome! Thank you for all your help dude!

Sorry I didn't respond. Yes you must unecm most psx roms. And don't try the unecm app on the market because it doesn't work. I usually unzip and unecm the roms on my PC then I transfer them via wifi file transfer pro to my phone.

No worries dude, you were a big help. I also did it on my computer. Worked like a charm....was playing FF8 for like an hour, love that game.

Yea ff8 is great. To answer your question about disc changing.. I'm not sure because I haven't gotten to that point yet, I'm assuming just make sure you have the disc 2 iso ready to go before hand.
Also, some games are extremely hard to play (tenchu) with just touch screen controls, lol. I think I'll stick to just rpgs for now.
PS. Try the n64oid app it runs games like ocarina of time or mario 64 flawlessly.

Nice, will do. Thank you
Just for info. When you choose "original", the reason it's small is due to the original resolution of a PSX game being 640x480 (for NTSC) to fit a television screen. Your Galaxy Note is 1280x800.

is there any music player that doesn't automatically scan all the sd card?
i listen to audiobooks on my phone too and currently using winamp but it lists all the audiobook files as well as the my music tracks which is a bit annoying. tried stock player which has the same behaviour.

why don't you set folder view in winamp...you can select sibgle folder to play
Power Amp. You can select the folder for your mp3 and it will scan only them.

gonna see how i go with TTpod for a while,i couldn't find folder select option but gives more options as how to navigate and being able to browse by filename is a feature i like too.

There are other options too.
MIXZING for example it has both the functions that you need.scan a particular folder as well as play by folder.
U can give it a try but nothing beats power amp.using it from a long time.if you can afford it just go for it.
Edit: mixzing is free

unfortunately i can't afford poweramp but I'll give mixzing a try, thanks

Great
I have just downloaded a game off the play store called command and conquer and every command in the game has been loaded into my music so I now have things like cannot deploy here and tank ready coming through the head phones when I'm using shuffle is there anything I can do to stop this happening again
...
Thank you much appreciated. Mark

what music player are you using
Try using a file explorer and renaming the folder with the audio in it. Just the same folder name but with a full stop in front of the name. So if it's called /audio call it /.audio
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Or create an empty file named .nomedia inside this folder.
Also, if you're using Poweramp or similar, you can just untick folder from further scanning.
OMG LET ME TAKE SOME TIME OUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WITH A REALLY GOOD DESCRIPTIVE THREAD NAME!!!!!!!!!
You must listen to the sounds and become one with them to truly master C&C.
I've been looking for a good Equalizer to use on the DNA, I figured I would mess around trying to get DSP Manager to work tonight. Turns out I didn't have to do anything besides searching around and testing a few zips. I found a zip that works over in the EVO 3D forum. I take no credit for anything besides testing.
This does not remove the beats audio feature they actually both run at the same time. One thing I noticed is that you can't reach the equalizer from the play music app anymore, I'm not sure why that is. Also - If you have crappy headphones you can seriously damage them using this. Also you can damage your ears pretty bad as well. It is pretty cool I have a nice set of headphones with nice drivers, and I listen to a lot of bass heavy music, and the first song I listened to was pretty amazing. I think I almost blew my head off. So yeah, be careful.
Credit goes to the user "thebott" from the Evo 3D forum, that's who originally posted this zip as far as I can tell.
Thanks confirmed working with Play music and Pandora. It took me a long time to find one that works with Pandora on my Gnex. Brilliant. :beer:

Does it work with the phone speaker? Or just headphones?
Is it an apk? Or a flasable zip?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
It should work with both the phone speaker and bluetooth devices, as there's a separate page for each. I haven't tested either though perhaps someone else can report back after they have used one of these features. Also it is a flashable zip file. DSP manager must be installed as a system app alongside a few libs, which can only be done in recovery mode currently.
I love the android community. Thanks

Nice find. Sooooooooo much better than Beats!
Thanks....that beats crap blows. My music sounds good again.
Force Closes probably because I already had DSP manager installed on my device before.
Can't tell if it's working or not. I switched stuff around while playing music and I noticed no difference. Hmm

I have awakened. Hopefully someday you do the same!
You would definitely be able to tell the difference if it is working right. Are you running stock or the deodexed rom?
Stock...too many bugs on deodexed ROM right now. Or I say too many I don't think that's the case. When the video stuff gets worked out I'll flash it for sure

Yeah I feel ya about the bugs on the deodexed rom kinda sucks. But anyways, I flashed this on the stock rom and it worked immediately. What app are you using to listen to music?
Stock HTC player. Am I supposed to enable it on settings or something first like in aosp
Sent from my Droid DNA. 1080p never looked so sweet.

Mine didn't show up under settings or in the music app under equalizer at first. I just played a song and then went back to the DSP and changed stuff. I noticed later (probably after a few reboots) that it showed up in the music app under equalizer all of a sudden. Never did check under settings.
Edit: Just noticed that you said stock HTC player, I was thinking you were using the stock google music app. It probably just doesn't work for that player. I've come across other apps that DSP didn't play well with. Try using google music and see if it works.
Combined with beats.. So much bass. FUARKKK

I like the DSM but it appears to have overwritten the Wifi Nag fix Can you see if it can be compiled with that as well, I hadn't tried writting the wifi fix again but will.. I suspect it may disable the dsm..

:good:
The phenomenal KingBeatZ audio mod from aznrice2k4 works with Nexus 10! Compatible with Stock, AOSP, and AOKP ROMS.
100% Compiled with Linaro for superior performance!
Versions 3.0.9 recommended, but 3.0.3, 3.0.4, 3.0.6, and 3.0.8 are confirmed working as well.
This is a heavily modified BEATS Audio mod that can also boost volume above stock level, has extra preset equalizer settings, and increases sound clarity. No placebo/emulated effects unlike other mods. Info (follow the instructions for the Nexus 7) can be found HERE
All credit belongs to aznrice2k4 but any issues that you may have (albeit highly unlikely) after following the instructions correctly should be posted here. I have successfully used this on many devices and also in my ROMs for the OG RAZR.
Unique or Acoustic Equalizer settings have been found to have the best sound. Loudness setting will boost volume, use with care to prevent damage to headphones, ears, etc. Other than that, use what sounds good to you!
Enjoy!

I always use ROM Toolbox to edit build.prop, if its having an issue saving changes I would try a different editor. ROM toolbox free version has that function as far as I know.
I am not seeing lpa.decode=true" in my build.prop is that a problem? I am using mrRobinsons aokp pub if that makes a difference
