The PlayStation was one of the most iconic gaming systems ever released and with it came a slew of legendary games. It dominated the fifth generation of gaming consoles with a fairly hefty margin when it came to sales, and many franchises, including Final Fantasy, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Tekken, Spyro, Madden, and many others had fantastic mainstream success.
If you’ve played those childish games and want to play them again, here are the best PlayStation emulators for Android right now. There are not many, but the PlayStation emulator market is basically solid and excellent.
ClassicBoy
ClassicBoy is positioned as an all-in-one emulator. It supports a variety of consoles, including PlayStation, three Game Boy systems, Nintendo 64, NES, SEGA and NeoGeo. There are also a variety of functions. Includes support for hardware controllers, customizable touch screen controls, some audio settings, and the usual saving and loading.
It’s a good option for those looking for more emulators under one roof. However, dedicated PlayStation emulators usually have more customization and configuration features.
EmuBox
EmuBox is one of the most recent PlayStation emulators. It is also an all-in-one emulation app. It includes several consoles, including SNES, Nintendo DS, NES and, of course, PlayStation. Stability was good during our tests.
It also includes save and load statuses, cheat code support, fast forward mode and hardware controller support. This is basically the best of the bases. It is not configurable as an FPse, but it works quite well. Moreover, it is completely free with advertising.
ePSXe
ePSXe is probably one of the two best PlayStation emulators around. This tends to be a little easier to use. It is also very stable. It also supports split-screen mode, saves and loads states, customizable controls, hardware controller support and advanced OpenGL graphics.
There are also some plugins that add additional features. This is what you should choose if you want something that works immediately and well. The only disadvantages are the lack of a demo mode and the old user interface. The important thing is that it works and works quite well.
FPSE
FPse is the other of the two best PlayStation emulators for Android. This is highly customizable. It presents basic elements such as save and load statuses, customizable controls, high compatibility, and hardware controller support. However, it also has a number of advanced options, plug-ins, and extras that help you play the right way.
You can opt for better graphics or better reproduction depending on the device. Like ePSXe, this one doesn’t have a free version to try. Moreover, it has a slightly more difficult learning curve due to its wide range of options.
RetroArch
RetroArch is one of the most famous Playstation emulators for Android. The emulator also boasts multi-platform support. It supports practically everything you can think of, actually. Download each system individually as a plugin. This means that there is an additional level of complexity compared to most PlayStation emulators.
However, if you learn to master this app, you won’t have to go looking for another one for a long time. In our experience, the core of the PlayStation is relatively stable and works quite well. It’s completely free (and open source).
