Just weeks after Sony first hinted, then rubbished plans for a Playstation phone, programmer ZodTTD has unveiled his very own PS1 emulator for the iPhone.
Called psx4iphone, it’s currently at pre-beta stage, but is already looking promising. You can already get NES games for your iPhone but an original Playstation emulator could be huge considering how many of the little grey boxes were sold.
ZodTTD has some form in iPhone emulators, having already produced the GameBoy Advance emulator or iPhones and iPod Touches. He’s said it’ll have sound, memory card support and compatibility with around 75% of PS1 titles.
ZodTTD has said that if enough people donate via PayPal to him, he’s pretty much ready to release psx4iphone, so if you want it, get donating.
It sounds great, but the crucial differences between the iPhone’s
touchscreen controls and the PS1’s joypad might hamper enjoyment somewhat, even if he is offering onscreen controls.
You can find out more and (hopefully) download psx4iphone at ZodTTD’s site here.
Development has continued apace with the iPhone’s NES emulator, with ‘nervegas’ and ’stepwhite’ (the crew behind this nifty piece of work) having just released version 1.00.
