PlayStation emulator for PlayBook [PCSX-PB]


Video:PlayStation games running on my PlayBook

Finally an emulator worth installing, tons of games available so this should keep you busy. I'll try and take you through some simple steps and help you get this emulator working.

STEP 1:
Sideload PlayStation [PCSX-PB] emulator, download bar file http://goo.gl/N5W07

STEP 2:
Launch the emulator app you should get a option saying "Enter Bios" click cancel.
Then launch Airbrowser app in you're playbook, navigate to misc folder. Create a new folder called "pcsx-rearmed-pb".

STEP 3:
Now click on the newly created folder, you will get some sub folders automatically.
The BIOS and iso folder are important to us so remember them.
Download and extract the zip file SCPH1001.BIN (http://goo.gl/pOFzt) and then place it in the BIOS folder.

STEP 4:
Time to get some games!!!
Goto this website http://goo.gl/7Qffd, select PlayStation option from the left pane. You would be able to select games in alphabetical order.

For Demo purpose download Grand Tour Racing http://goo.gl/SA1a4
Download and extract the zip file, you should get 4 folder, you would find 2 file with file extensions .img and .cue (you might have to use a PC to extract and copy these files)
Copy both the file and paste it into the Iso folder which comes under Misc/pcsx-rearmed-pb/iso

Some games would have a .Bin file instead of .img, in such cases copy the bin file and paste it into iso folder.

STEP 5:
Launch the emulator and select SCUS_944.55.img, the game will take some minutes to load.
Enjoy!!!
