Google pulls emulator from Market

[runawayprisoner]

PSX4Droid was pulled from Android Market

Reason given:

"We remove apps from Android Market that violate our policies."

Oh sure, the app wasn't there forever!

So, who's still got the apk?

I find it hard to believe Sony did this. They lost this case long ago with Bleem.

Oh well. N64 and PS aren't really all that great on a phone anyway. You can't control them with the screen (Ok, you technically can, but it sucks), so you pretty much need a wiimote or some other bluetooth controller unless you have a keyboard on your phone (even then, control suck).

I find the games that were designed to be on a mobile gaming system to be much easier to control, such as GBA and GBC games. GBA games are even easier to control using the screen than their SNES counterparts.

So was this the good emulator or the bad one? Because I see the dev is now offering it for free download off-market.

The "bad" one

It was the good one until version 2. Now let's see how version 3 fares.

This emulator is still more compatible than the "good" one.
