PlayStation emulator coming to Android, courtesy of yongzh and ZodTTD
If you don’t know the names yongzh and ZodTTD , you can certainly be forgiven, but they’re basically the cell phone emulation dream team — where the former has been cranking out high-quality Nintendo and Sega emulators for Android, the latter is the one who brought PSX to iPhone , iPhone 3GS and the Palm Pre . Today, we hear they’re collaborating on a PSX emulator for Android that’s running faster than the 3GS version — before Froyo’s even factored into the equation — and that when his domination over the PSX is complete, ZodTTD intends to begin work on an Nintendo 64 emulator for Android, and then VLC . Without letting our enthusiasm get the better of us, let’s just say it’s an exciting time to be an Android owner, to say the least.
