With enough ram, you can most definitely play some if not all Playstation games on your Windows Mobile device. Its advisable that you have at least 20mb of usable ram on your device in order to properly play without crashing! This means of course devices that come with the usual 64mb of ram will probably have some problems as they have around 17mb of usable ram. But you can give it a try anyway, and i'll teach u and give u what all you need to start right away!

First, the file itself. The bios needed to play Playstation games already been included, so all you need is the iso or img file itself of the game.

Simply paste the entire file in your storage card of your device. You can create a shortcut and paste the shortcut in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games for quick access if you wish.

Once there, start the program. Go to Options > Bios > and choose SCPH1001.bin bios. It should automatically load the right directory, but if you don't know where it is, its in the FPSECE file, Bios folder. (duh)

Now you'll need an iso or img file of the game itself. You'll have to rip it yourself, or use uncle google since my blog does not support warez or piracy. Yippee yay yay. Use this to rip.

Paste the files into ISOS folder (duh duh).

And you're good to go! Its that simple! Once you start an iso, you'll need to configure your device so that it runs smoothly. For now, before u start to load an iso, go to options > Misc > and tick FPS counter for reference.

Load an ISO.

Now you'll see the game running with a controller and you'll see FPS. The greater the FPS, the faster the game runs. Different games may work with different FPS. Some games run perfectly fine, while others are so slow they're impossible to play on your windows mobile device.

You can try to increase the FPS however. After starting the ISO, look at your controller pad. See the OPTIONS? Its between your TRIANGLE, SQUARE, CIRCLE , X and your Directional Pad.

Click it. You'll see FRAMESKIP. You can choose to increase frameskip to increase FPS.

But beware, the more frames you skip, the more jerky the game will get. A game that runs fast but too jerkily is just as bad as a bad FPS game.

I myself don't usually choose more than 3 FRAMESKIP.

You can change the FRAMESKIP any time during the game. Save the game as how you would normally, there are card 1 and 2 options already available in the file so dun worry about it.

NOTE:

  1. Games that i have tested that work fine are Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy Tactics. Turn based games are usually the most suitable.
  2. Landscape may not work. So test it early, not halfway through the game. If it hangs at least it hangs early to let you know it doesnt work.
  3. Final Fantasy 7 is about 1.2GB. Yea, OMFG. So be prepared lol. Or you can try Final Fantasy Tactics its about 300MB.
  4. Audio on some games may suck donkey, Final Fantasy for example. You can switch it off the same place where you change FRAMESKIP
  5. Switch off Framerate display when not testing, it consumes extra CPU cycles and can slow down / drain more battery
  6. To play PS game in landscape for VGA (touch pro for example) choose GAPI as display


Have Fun!
