PSX Classics games not exclusive to Xperia Play

So far the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is the only device that has been confirmed to offer PlayStation titles, it will be one of the first Android devices to have dedicated game controls, be PlayStation certified, and have access to a huge library of PSX classics. How many PlayStation fans out there are thinking about picking up this device when it comes stateside?

In my opinion, if you want a portable emulation PSOne as well as a phone then, this device is for you. But if you already have a smartphone with Android OS, and do not plan to replace it there will be another way to enjoy the PlayStation One game. 

PlayStation emulator for Android

I think another problem with the lack of PSOne games sales for Xperia play is that the other smartphone runs on Android - which has a universal PlayStation emulator that runs at full speed anyway. These emulators support most games, so why would anyone want to waste money on official games?

PSX4Droid PlayStation emulator was capable of running games at high-speeds, alongside many other features. However, after being available for nearly six months, recently it got removed off the Android Market.

Google has pulled the plug on a prominent PSOne emulator for its mobile OS. According to its author, "ZodTTD," PSX4Droid was removed from the Android Market without warning due to a "Content Policy violation,"

Tegra Zone application

NVIDIA announced on their Tegra Zone app that Sony’s PlayStation Suite will be coming to Tegra-equipped Android phones and tablets later this year. PlayStation Suite is a hardware-neutral game framework designed to bring the PlayStation experience to Android devices.

This is the first solid news of Sony's PlayStation app landing on Android smartphones and tablets since the official reveal of the PS Suite and Sony Ericsson's PlayStation-certified smartphone, Xperia Play.

Tegra 2 powered devices have the processing power to bring console-quality games to Android so this announcement is not that surprising, but it’s the first time that details have been shared about other devices joining the PlayStation Certified family.

Other reports have limited Nvidia's announcement to just Tegra 2 devices, but the company clearly stated "Tegra-equipped Android phones and tablet devices" throughout the report. This indicates that current Honeycomb-based Tegra smartphones should be compatible with the PS Suite app and games.
