Features of ePSXe for Android

High Compatibility & Accurate Emulation

ePSXe faithfully runs a wide selection of PS1 titles, providing high compatibility and smooth performance, often with minimal lag and no audio glitches. Many users report it as the most stable PS1 emulator for Android.

Netplay & Split‑Screen Option

Enjoy local multiplayer games via Wi‑Fi or split‑screen play a fun twist on traditional emulation.

SCPH1001.BIN

PSX BIOS or Basic Input Output System is hardware that your computer reads when turned on. Simply put, this is the first thing your device does when you turn it on. The main mission of PlayStation BIOS is to test and initialize the device on your computer. Without it, you cannot use the system in full. EPSXE BIOS checks the settings and confirms if everything is working properly.

How to Use ePSXe for Android

1. Set Up Storage & Folders

On newer Android versions, pick or create a base folder (e.g., /storage/emulated/0/epsxe) to store your BIOS, game images, save states, and memory cards.

2. Load the BIOS

Obtain a PS1 BIOS file (e.g., SCPH1001.bin), place it in the BIOS folder, then use “Run BIOS” in the app to ensure it’s recognized.

3. Scan for Games

Store your PS1 game images (e.g., ISO, BIN/CUE, PBP) in a known folder, then use the “Run game” or game scanner feature to build your library.

4. Configure Controls

  • Virtual Gamepad: Access Preferences – Touchscreen to show/hide or edit the onscreen controls.
  • Controller Setup: Plug in external controllers, detect them under Preferences – Gamepads, and map buttons accordingly.

5. Optimize Video & Audio

  • Video Plugins: Select OpenGL renderer under Preferences – Video, choose your preferred plugin, and adjust shader settings.
  • Audio Plugins: In Preferences – Sound, choose SPU settings ‘High compatibility’ mode enhances performance.

6. Use Save States & Memory Cards

Access save state slots during gameplay to quickly save progress. Memory cards work like real PS1 cards, and you can import or export them to continue your journey elsewhere.

7. Load Games & Swap Discs

Tap “Run Game” from the game’s library, and for multi‑disc titles using PBP, ePSXe allows seamless disc switching without needing a BIOS file.

8. Multiplayer Setup

For compatible titles, use the Multiplayer menu to play with others locally over Wi‑Fi. You can also find split‑screen options to play on a single device.

Conclusion

ePSXe for Android offers a perfect blend of simplicity and advanced features ideal for both newcomers and seasoned emulation fans. With rich plugin support, flexible input options, broad file compatibility, and even local multiplayer, it’s a comprehensive package for PS1 gaming on mobile. Though lightweight, it delivers solid performance even on older devices, thanks to optimized rendering and audio options. If your goal is retro‑PlayStation gaming in your pocket with minimal fuss, ePSXe is a top-tier choice.
