Ever wanted to play Sony Playstation games on your Pocket PC? Ever heard of FPSEce (http://fpsearm.psxfanatics.com/), the only, high-quality and last but not least, FREE PlayStation emulator for the Pocket PC? I have some great news for you: after a LONG waiting, the new version is out - now, with (in Portrait mode only) VGA & some 2700G (Linear Frame Buffering to decrease the CPU load) support! It’s just wonderful!!

The God of all Pocket PC Emulators, author of the PocketGamer.org / PocketGaming.de Emulator Page (http://emupage.pocketgamer.org/), Michu, has promised some days ago (http://www.pocketgamer.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6368) he would come up with a present for the Pocket PC community. The present turned out to be a MAJOR one: a brand new, heavily updated FPSEce version!

The first screenshots of the new versions were published (http://www.pocketgamer.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6118) back in October. These screenshots are REALLY worth checking out: they demonstrate very well how the previous, QVGA-only and current, VGA & 2700G-enabled versions compare. The difference is outstanding!

Note that the official download page (http://www.fpsece.net/download.htm) of the FPSEce folks still doesn’t contain information on the new release, it’s so new. Therefore, you’ll want to download the new emulator from either the related English language thread on pdai.org (http://pdai.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9121) of the official forum or from great German all-in-one handheld gaming site PocketGaming.de (direct link to download (http://pocketgaming.de/Michu/Emulatoren/Downloads/Konsolen/PlayStation/FPSEce/FPSEce_0.09.6_beta.rar)).

Also see this article (http://www.pocketgaming.de/content/view/281/2/) for more information and a LOT of brand new screenshots (I've linked one of them above). The article is in German; the English Babelfish “translation” is here (http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_load?lp=de_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pocketgaming.de%2Fcontent%2Fview%2F281%2F2%2F). A shorter, English article of the new version can be found, as has already been pointed out, here (http://pdai.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9121). I also recommend this AximSite thread (http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144354).

That's awesome, I've been waiting for this for a long time. However, I just gave it a try and it failed to run my Chrono Cross .nrg file. It just quits itself :cry: . Anyhow, I'm going to give a few of my other games a try and hope the results turn out better.

EDIT: Oops nevermind, I moved the FPSEce folder out of Program Files and onto Storage Card and it worked.

Sorry in advance for these basic questions, but I'm a bit behind the techno curve on this one :?

I have downloaded the .rar file to my laptop desktop. What do I do now?

Also, I bought Fifa 07 for my son for Christmas for the PS2. Will I be able to play this on my ipaq 5550, and how do I get it onto my ppc?

Thanks in advance.

1, welcome to ppct :)

2, no official sources. However, the PDA-i forum (link above) is full of tutorials and free demos you can test the emulator with. Start with http://pdai.org/forum/showthread.php?p=29060 - it's FULL of demos like these.

Sorry - it's PS One only, not PS2.
