To play a PlayStation 1 game on Android, you’ll need a PlayStation 1 emulator for Android. Here, Dunia Games would like to recommend you an emulator called ePSXe due to its small size and stability. But before you start downloading ePSXe, you should check the specifications to run ePSXe smoothly on your device.

ePSXe System Requirements for Android

If your Android device meets the requirements to run ePSXe, then you can download it straight away. And here’s how.

How to Install PS1 BIOS 

After you’ve successfully installed ePSXe and downloaded the BIOS file, the next step is to move the BIOS file into a folder “Internal/epsxe/bios” using the file manager on Android. If you’ve found the folder, you can just paste the BIOS file there.

Once successfully moved, then you can go to ePSXe and select the menu “Run BIOS”, and now ePSXe has been installed on your Android. After that, you can play PS1 games on Android. But how? Well, without further ado, check out the next step!

How to Play PS1 Games on Android with ePSXe

If you’ve installed ePSXe and BIOS, then for the next step, you can prepare the PS1 game file that you want to play. You can look for PS1 game files that you love on Google, so, just look for them, guys!

Once you’ve found the game files you want to play, you can download those files. For those running out of data, no worries, cause PS1 game files have relatively small sizes, no more than 70 MB on average. So, if you want to download a PS1 game file, you better prepare around 100 MB of data, so it won’t get interrupted in the middle of the downloading process.

So, now that you’ve had your favorite PS1 games, the next step is to extract those files using an extractor app available for Android, then move the iso file to SD Card since ePSXe will read the games on SD Card, and open the ePSXe app to run the iso file you’ve just downloaded earlier.

After you’ve done all of that, you just have to open ePSXe and select “Run Game”. Automatically, ePSXe will read all of the iso files you have on your SD Card. Once the game you wanna play has been read, you can just choose that game and start playing!

Every PS1 game played on Android has similar gameplay as well as control settings. You can also adjust and set the controls to suit you well. To recreate the immersive PS1 experience on your Android device, you can use an additional controller and have it screen mirrored to a monitor or tv.

Well, those were the steps to play PS1 games on Android. For those who want to take a trip down memory lane but don’t have a PlayStation 1 console, you can just follow those steps mentioned above!
