PLUS, more info on the upcoming v1.80!



The great ePSXe is back and its now available on Android.
You'll have to pay for it, but you'll also help them to get funds for the emu development.

ePSXe, the famous PS1 emulator for PC is back after a 4 years hiatus.

First of all, they promised that v1.8.0 is almost finished and it will be released in the upcoming weeks.

But also, in order to find ways to get funds for the development of this amazing emu, they've released an Android port, which is right now available from the Google Play Market.

Here's their official statement:

After a 4 years hiatus, it is finally time for some news about ePSXe's development.

ePSXe 1.8.0 is almost finished and is currently in testing phase. If all goes well we expect to release it in a few weeks. This version will include compressed iso support (PBP), SBI support (such as used by redump.org), updates for multitap, disc change and spu and of course a lot of compatibility related fixes.

We were thinking of different ways to get funds for the development of ePSXe and finally decided to develop an Android port. If you want to support the ePSXe development please buy the Android port in the Google Play Market. It contains the ePSXe core, the internal SPU plugin, a new experimental internal soft GPU plugin and a new 2 players mode for tablets.

We would like to give our thanks to Gladiator, from www.psxdatacenter.com, for the thousands of tests he has done in the last 4 years. Without his help creating a version with high compatibility would have been almost impossible. Many thanks to you and your brother . We would also want to give our thanks to Shalma who worked on ePSXe Shark, several plugins and plugins "repairs series". He did a wonderful job, some would even consider it "magic", finding then fixing numerous bugs and deserves our most sincere thanks and admiration.

Finally we want to thank you the ePSXe users for supporting our 12 years old child "ePSXe"

We have created a twitter account "epsxeteam", where we expect your impressions about the emulator. Please don't use this account to request support and instead use ngemu.com forums.

Regards,
ePSXe Team.
So, there you go. Overall, pretty good news. Don't forget to try the official Android port by yourself, and of course, share your comments below about how well it works on your phone.

Also, stay tuned for the upcoming v1.8.0!!
