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.
Play your own PS1 disc images. Bring your own BIOS. No games included.
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.
