Hopefully those improvements make it to EmiGens Plus soon as well.
#EMULATOR PS2 WINDOWS 8 PRO#
Promise for the futureĮmiPSX has some rough UI edges, but it’s great to see improved touch screen controls and MOGA Pro Controller support in the emulator.
#EMULATOR PS2 WINDOWS 8 FULL#
To view the full list and discuss compatibility findings, head to the official EmiPSX thread in our forums. It does support a handful of big titles though, such as Final Fantasy VII and VIII and Gran Turismo 2. Speaking of which, EmiPSX doesn’t have compatibility with all Playstation games yet. The sub-par FPS count would be less noticeable in Japanese Role-Playing Games, which is the genre that people tend to prefer when playing emulators on touch screens anyway. As it stands, Castlevania runs at a lower-than-normal but still playable frame rate. The Playstation is a relatively powerful 32-bit console and first-generation Windows Phone 8 devices aren’t all that beefy, so it might take a while for the developer to achieve perfect emulation. Xbox Windows Phone gamers might remember that the underrated and overpriced Castlevania Puzzle is closely based on Symphony of the Night.

Sadly, my phone is all but full so I had to settle for adding a single game: the aforementioned Symphony of the Night. Ordinarily I would test several games when evaluating an emulator. Frankly, the only way to exit out of a game should be by choosing to do so from a menu. That can be a big deal when you’re 15 minutes into Symphony of the Night, haven’t saved yet, and press the wrong thing by mistake. Should you back out of the game by mistake, there doesn’t seem to be any way to resume from exactly where you off. Unfortunately, it’s far too easy to exit the game you’re playing after viewing the menu.

Yeah, you can do that with the Windows Phone hardware buttons, but most emulators also let users take pictures using menu controls. Notably missing is the ability to take screenshots via the menu. From here, players can jump to the “Configure” menu (now listed in English!), save their current state, and load save states. Pressing the Back button during a game brings up the in-game menu. Jumping to letters of the alphabet isn’t bad, but a little reorganizing could allow for 4-5 games to fit onscreen. It also clutters things up with letters used for alphabetical selection, so that you can only see two or three games at one time. The list itself does not support screenshots, which is a shame. Really it should default to Internal storage (which everyone has) and just let users toggle to SD Card if they like. Every time you launch the app you’ll have to select between SD Card and Internal storage before your Roms will actually show up. Game selection and in-game menuĮmiPSX’s game selection menu falls a few notches short of other developers’ emulators. Again, we don’t have a controller to test the support, but it should make for a superior play experience compared to touch screen controls.
#EMULATOR PS2 WINDOWS 8 SKIN#
Indeed, the Simple Skin shows a circular pattern around the directions, seemingly indicating that EmiPSX watches that entire space for input instead of just the main directions.ĮmiPSX’s other big control improvement is MOGA Pro Controller Support! That makes this the fifth Windows Phone 8 game/app to work with the accessory, and the second emulator to do so ( EMU7800 is the first). In my short playtime with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, I didn’t notice the problem of the d-pad ceasing to work when my thumb exceeded the button graphic. I haven’t played enough games to properly test this, but it even looks like EmiPSX’s d-pad is more responsive. Either way, they just look so much better than EmiGens’ rough controls. Players can also toggle to a “Simple Skin” in which the on-screen controls become simple white outlines (pictured above). For one, the default buttons and d-pad actually look like those of a Playstation controller. That should make it easy to get them in a comfortable spot.īeyond that, the controls show a marked improvement compared to Andre’s previous emulator. Like EmiGens Plus, EmiPSX allows users to reposition every single button anywhere on-screen in either orientation.
