Downloads Required
- ePSXe: The app is not free to download in Google Play Store. So, I will not post links here. You should purchase this app or ask Google to provide you for free if possible.
- PlayStation [PS1/PSX] Roms,
Browse Games From Sdcard Or External Drive (USB OTG)
ePSXe can automatically search your phone's internal storage, SDcard or USB storage for PlayStation games and ISOs. This also saves a lot of time since you don't have to manually load the game from the file directory. It doesn't matter where you put the games whether, on SDcard, internal storage or external USB storage, ePSXe will scan the entire storage to find the games. To let this happen follow the steps below
Important Note: I prefer using a USB OTG drive to play PS1 games through it because I can put many ISOs on it. You can put one PS1 rom in SDcard, one in internal storage and one in external storage. Now follow the steps below.
- Open the app then tap 'Run Game'.
- Tap the 'Refresh' button on top right.
- A popup will appear asking for scanning the games.
- Tap 'ALL' and wait for few seconds.
- When this option is selected then epsxe will scan the SDcard, internal storage and USB drive (if connected) at the same time.
- Finally the list of games will be displayed.
- Initially you may not see game cover arts, just connect your phone to Wi-Fi or internet and relaunch the app.
- Now you will see game information and region code also in games list. See the images below.
Create Game Shortcut On Home Screen
For quick game playing, you can create a game shortcut to home screen. A shortcut can quickly launch the game without actually opening the game and selecting. This is also suitable if you have many games in epsxe. To create a game shortcut follow the steps below.

- Now after increasing the size long tap the 'L2' button and drop it slightly away from 'L1' so that there is enough space between them. Similarly do it for R2. Finally tap 'Save & Exit' a popup will open tap 'Yes, save and quit'.
Memory Cards

ePSXe Android CheatsePSXe Multiplayer Settings
ePSXe has a dedicated support for multiplayer gaming. But the multiplayer feature of epsxe is not the same as with any other game. epsxe has 'Client' and 'Server' setup which lets two players to play simultaneously over Wi-Fi. However both the player should share the same screen but they can use separate android phones as gamepads. To configure epsxe multiplayer follow the steps below.- You should have two android phones with ePSXe installed.
- Connect both the android phones to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Now open the app on one phone and tap the 'back' key and choose 'Run as Server'.
- Then tap the game you want to load.
- Immediately after the game launches a 'Server IP' will appear on your phone. Please note down this address. It will be like 'Server IP: 192.162.10.1'.
- Now on the second phone open the app and tap the 'back' key and choose 'Run as Client'.
- You will need to enter the IP address that you noted above. Enter this address and tap 'ok'.
- Now two players can play the game simultaneously. The game will run on 'Server' phone only, the client phone will only show gamepad.
- The multiplayer feature is tested on Tekken 3 game and it works great without any delay.
- Tekken 3 can be played in multiplayer mode in epsxe.
ePSXe vs FPSE
Note: If it is difficult to share the phone's screen then you can use your TV screen to play the game. But your server phone should have MHL support. Connect the phone to TV's HDMI port by using a MHL cable and enjoy ePSXe games on a large TV screen.
Customize Gamepad
ePSXe has default gamepad layout in which the LR buttons are very small. So on a larger screen like that of a Galaxy S7, android tablets the buttons will look too small to register an input from the touch. So you may find that the buttons do not work sometimes when tapping. To solve this problem we have to increase the buttons size according to the screen's size for the best gameplay experience.
