Story

In late 1994, Sony Computer Entertainment released the PlayStation after years of research and development. PlayStation (also known as PSX, PSOne) is a gaming console that uses CD-ROM. Under previous Nintendo’s dominance, not many thought the PSX would succeed. But it did. The clearest proof is that it became one of the best-selling consoles in history with more than 100 units sold globally. Many people see the PSX as part of their childhood.

The success of the PS1 ushered in a new era for the next generation of consoles developed by Sony. We’ve got the PS2, the best-selling console in history with 155 million units sold. With the massive success of the PlayStation, Nintendo’s dominance was broken. The competition of these two giants brings more benefits to gamers. We can buy gaming devices and accessories at a cheaper price, repair costs are no longer a big problem.

Every party must come to an end and PS1 adventures are no exception. Sony announced they stopped supporting the PS1 in 2004. Since that time, no brand new PS1 has been produced. After more than 15 years, you don’t have to be a collector to know that, it is impossible to find a PlayStation 1 on the market.

However, it is not impossible when you want to play PS1 games. Now we have emulators. Thanks to these emulators, you can smoothly play most PS1 games on Windows PC, Linux, and Android smartphones. Of course, they can’t give you the original playing experience but it is more convenient. Instead of having to have a PS1, game disc, and TV monitor to play games, you now have them all in one compact mobile app. One of the best PS1 emulators available in the market is ePSXe.

Introducing ePSXe- The best PS1 Emulator on Android

ePSXe is not a new name in the field. It is a PSXTeam product that has been around for almost 20 years. The first version of this application was released in March 2002 on Windows and Linux platforms. At the end of 2013, the mobile version of ePSXe was officially available on the Play Store. It is by far the best PS1 emulator you can find on Android. The great thing is that our developers continue to update new features on their products. Besides the main application, PSXTeam develops supporting Plugins to optimize the user’s gaming experience. You can easily install these Plugins for free on Play Store as ePSXe sevenzip Plugins and ePSXe openGL Plugin. Of course, you need the root app for these plugins to work.

Similar to every other emulator, ePSXe has a minimum configuration requirement to use. Don’t worry because in most cases you can find the application running at default settings quite stable. Image and sound quality when emulating games is also at a good level. However, if your device is outdated, you should make some tweaks to make everything work smoother.

ePSXe is a paid application. You need to pay $3.99 to get it from Play Store. However, on our blog, you can get it completely free. All you need to do is download the APK file we have provided below and follow the instructions to install it.

Key features of ePSXe

ePSXe is the most popular Playstation emulator on Android. With this application, you can easily play smoothly PS1 games on your Android smartphone with the best picture and sound quality. Join us to explore the outstanding features of this application right below.

Play all Ps1 games on Android

The success of the emulator depends on the list of compatible games it supports. Many people agree that ePSXe is the best Playstation emulator on Android because it can run most PS1 games in high quality and stable fps. With this app, you can easily re-live your childhood games like Street Fighter, Tenchu, Spider-Man, Final Fantasy Tactics… Currently, ePSXe can run 99% of PS1 games in HD and 60fps.

Original PS1 games are packaged on CDs. At the present time, it is almost impossible to find these CDs out there. But don’t worry because ePSXe doesn’t need them to run the emulators. Instead, we need PS1 games packaging files called ROMs. They are in ISO format.

In essence, these ROM files are extracted from the original PS1 game CDs. However, unlike physical DC disks, these files are stored on the Internet. So you don’t have to search to buy these discs at game stores, just download them easily from the archive sites.

It is very simple to emulate a PS1 game on ePSXe. You just need to download the game ROMs then run them on the emulator. The game experience will be enhanced if there are accessories that are Gamepad or Wireless Keyboard. Most ROM files on the Internet are compressed in RAR or ZIP format. So make sure you unzip them to get the game file in ISO format. A powerful file extractor on Android that we recommend is ZArchiver PRO.

The games that have been successfully installed on ePSXe will be displayed in the game list at the application homepage. You can tap and hold the game icon to delete it or move it to favorites.

BIOS

BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is the most important component of an operating system. BIOS can be considered as the backbone of Play Station devices. Successfully installing the ePSXe emulator on your device is not enough. If you want to play PS1 games on this emulator, a BIOS file is required.

Each emulator needs a separate and independent BIOS file. For ePSXe, BIOS files are usually named “spch100x” or “scph7502”. Of course, you can’t create these BIOS files, you have to find them from a trusted source. The ePSXe BIOS files are now widely shared on the Internet so you can easily download and use them. This article also gives you the right BIOS file to ensure that your emulator will work.

After having the right bios file, run it in the emulator. The first time you run the BIOS, ePSXe will ask for permission to access the device’s internal memory, accept it. You are then allowed to choose the folder to save the BIOS. After completing the settings, bios will automatically launch when you open the application the next time. If you already have a bios file in your device but the app can’t scan it, add it manually. Select Setting->Run Bios then browse to the folder path where you save the file. Wait a bit for the system to process and you can start using the emulator.

Easy Save/Load

Playing games on emulators may not feel like the original console, but it does give you some other perks. One of them is the function to save game progress whenever you want. We will talk about the convenience that this feature brings. It was not available on the original PS1 but now you have it on a great emulator like ePSXe.

First, you can save your game progress at any time you want and keep it safe even if the emulator crashes. It means that you have game saves and they are stored completely independently on the system. Even if the emulator crashes or you delete it, these files can still be kept if you want. Next, you can use this instant save feature as a way to enhance the game experience. For example, saving the game before joining the boss fight is a way to save you a long way when your character dies.

To save game progress, simply open the menu and select “Save”. Your game progress is instantly saved. It is a file in the format *bin. This file is located in the folder you set up earlier. You can then continue playing or exit the emulator. As soon as you return to the game on the emulator, it will automatically load at the location where you stopped before. Save files can be stored locally in the device or you can also upload it to cloud storage services like Dropbox, Drive.
