Store listing

Full description
PolyCore runs PlayStation 1 disc images that you already own, on your phone. It is deliberately plain: point it at the folder your .cue files live in, import a BIOS you dumped from your own console, and play. No accounts, no sign-in, nothing to configure before it works. WHAT YOU NEED PolyCore ships no games and no BIOS file, and it cannot search for or download either. You supply both: - A PlayStation BIOS image (512 KB), dumped from a console you own. - Your own disc images, as .cue plus .bin. FEATURES - Streams discs straight off storage, so a 700 MB disc uses about 30 MB of memory and big games do not run your phone out of RAM. - Save states with thumbnails, plus an automatic one when you close a game. - Memory cards, shared across your games exactly as a real console's card is. - On-screen controls you can drag anywhere, at any size, in portrait or landscape. - Physical controller support, with remappable buttons. - Multi-disc games are grouped as one title. - Fast-forward and slow motion. - No ads over a running game, ever. HONEST LIMITATIONS - Emulation accuracy varies by title. Some games will not run correctly yet. - .chd, .pbp and .iso images are not supported yet - .cue plus .bin only. - Analog sticks are not on the on-screen pad yet; a digital pad is used. PolyCore's emulation core is ares, used under the ISC licence. PlayStation is a trademark of Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. PolyCore is an independent project and is not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. All game and console trademarks belong to their respective owners.

What's new

PolyCore is now available to everyone. - Play PS1 disc images (.cue + .bin) from a folder you choose. - Import your own BIOS. None is included. - Save states, memory cards, on-screen and physical controls. - Discs stream from storage, so a 700 MB game uses about 30 MB of RAM.
