Just got the Xperia Play, i got a few questions - Xperia Play General

First of all Hi everyone I just got an xperia play and Love it as you can see below in my sig ive owned/own alot of phones and this is probably my favorite phone. It really seems to impress alot of people. Probably a reason why it didnt sell much is cause not alot of people knew about it lol
Here are my questions hope I can get some help
1. Whats the playstation suite? Keep hearing about that but have no idea what that is and will it ever be used on the play?
2. where can I download Crash Bandicoot? (installed another rom)
hope you guys can help.

To get crash bandicoot flash a stock rom. As far a the playstation suite you'll have to find links to the updated apks. Don't expect much though. No idea if Sony is going to do anything with it on the play.

There's PS Suite and PS Mobile. PS Suite is the SDK to create cross-platform PlayStation Games. PS Mobile is the PlayStation app.

[REQ] multiplayer games

Hey..
does any1 know of any good multiplayer games for wm phones?
i too would like some multiplayer games! if anyone has come across any please post em up
i have two right now, attached .cabs!
1. chess game that supports multiplayer.
2. POCKET UNO supports upto 4 players! (i love this game)
I'm looking for bluetooth multiplayer games. I have never seen any bluetooth game for WM. It would be very nice to play with my girlfriend, since I gave her my old HTC Touch phone.
yea that would be pretty cool! ive seen a couple on the marketplace that allows u to play multiplayer via bluetooth. i would buy one of those if i had any friends with a winmo phone.. all my retarded friends have jumped on the iphone bandwagon. this is why im on the forums trying to prove to them that my phone outranks theirs. might not be because of games or apps, but more because of the ability to customize your phone and actually be different. sorry for the vent, i just dont like people who think the iphone is the best thing since sliced bread..
but back on topic, i believe i saw a checkers game on marketplace that supports bluetooth multiplayer.
ive attached a marketplace cab incase u dont have winmo 6.5!

Sony Ericsson Ambassador

Morning all!
I just wanted to say I'm a Sony Ericsson Ambassador based in one of the mobile network retail stores in the UK. If you have any questions you can't find the answers to either drop me a private message or send me something on twitter (SEyorkO2)
I'll do my best to get your questions answered and I'll also be posting information that I get my hands on (that I'm not forbidden to post )
I'm currently using the Arc as my primary phone and the Play as my bit on the side so these are my strongest subjects currently.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Due to lot's of questions coming through I'm going to write them all down and forward them onto the correct departments every Monday rather than constantly bombarding them. Once I get responses I'll post them at the bottom of this post.

Nice. Thanks for saying hi. Hoping to give you more questions when I get my SE XP (Xperia Play) back from service centre at SBE Limited.
Can you say if there are plans to integrate the PSN into the play or add trophy support?
Edit: Also there is a very cool PSN application for the android but is UK only. Do you know if there are plans to bring this app to the rest of the world? It has news, Blogs, friends and trophy list in it.
Edit 2: I have one more question. Who can we request a feature to? I love the Playstation app but I hate having to use three different launchers for my games. There is the Playstation app, the Pocket app and the normal desktop.
I would like the ability to add installed games to the Playstation app so I can slide the control pad and select any game I choose from the one that starts. So far some titles don’t show up there like the PSX games. I also have emulators that use the controls and would like that option. Or if sliding the controls down would give me a list of apps to run for instance a choice to run an emulator or the pocket app or the Playstation app. That would be cool.

I'll forward these onto my ADM and see if we can get some answers. WIth regards to the PSN intergration I believe there were plans for this before the play launched as we were told that the Play would have the same functionality as the Sony Ericsson Aino had. However now it all appears to be unofficial rumour.
I feel your pain regarding the multiple launchers for games and also the fact that they won't auto rotate while browsing through my selection.
We are constantly being told that both the Play and the Arc will be receving major new features with software updates so heres hoping for more playstation intergration. I'll see what I can dig up for you though!
are you serious? So it's not going to be tied into the PSN? What a load of ****...
We need better pc software, the sony ericsson pc suite is rubbish. Its like a cheap piece of software you get with a no brand piece of electrical equipment
and needs updating.
Any chance this will happen?
This reminds me of SamsungJohn from the Captivate section. Lol

Anything SONY related regarding the Xplay is a joke, how long has the phone been out now & how many ps1 games are available or dedicated Xplay games released?
Op really does has big balls coming on here claiming to be from S.E.
Personally, I smell a Troll.

I bought the phone for emulators.
If you was hoping for it to be a proper Sony handheld system you should of waited to buy the NGP. (vita or w/e).
The Xplay is first and foremost an Android phone with Android and Gameloft games.
I didnt see any mention of titles like God of War or LBP being made for it. And if Sony Ericsson actually did claim this, i wouldnt of believed it anyway.
SE is not Sony.
SE is a London based/Swedish input company that works and is a division for Sony Japan.
It is a different entity from Sony.

No you see, that's where you're wrong:
"Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB is a joint venture established on October 1, 2001[1] by the Japanese consumer electronics company Sony Corporation and the Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson to manufacture mobile phones. The stated reason for this venture is to combine Sony's consumer electronics expertise with Ericsson's technological knowledge in the communications sector. Both companies have stopped making their own mobile phones."
I'm still a firm believer that Sony will support this phone in ways. I'm not banking on them releasing amazing games and ps1 titles, that doesn't bother me. I have fpse for that, and the Android Market, Gameloft also does what I need it to. I'm just hopeful that we will get some decent games from Sony. But I'm happy having it for the emulators for the moment
I personaly could care less if sony does anything for this phone. I already got everything I want for it. There is enough to keep me happy for years to come.

Hmmm, that is why it is a "Sony Playstation" certified phone?
I bought this phone because it was Playstation certified and I fully expect Sony to support it with some great games “like” God of War. GOW port would be perfect and make it worth the purchase but I Have them both on my PSP so I don’t really care. But I do expect better than regular android games with improper button support.

Sony "may" port games over, but highly unlikely.
Here's how i see it -
1) Ericsson (a swedish company) struck a deal with Sony and merged into a telecommunications company called Sony Erriccsson. They moved headquarters to London.
2) Sony Ericcson made a new phone with a playstation pad and got it certified by Sony Entertainment, Playstation division.
3) All Sony would of done was say "yep, make the phone half decent, get our brand on it and we will certify it".
I doubt anybody on the gaming side of Sony even got involved with the production of this phone.
This phone to me is a pure Android phone that can play emulators with a decent control pad.
Thats all i wanted. Thats all i will get. IMO thats all it is ever going to be.
You’re wrong. Sony wouldn't certify the phone without plans to support it. Ericson is part of Sony just like Sony makes Toys, TVs, among other things.
Yea but sony has bigger and better things out there, a playstation phone is whatever to them they brought it out to satisfy a certain crowd nothing more just you watch

[Q] PlayStation games..?

So can someone explain, I am not complaining or anything, but where is the PlayStation suite games (Not the android ones)? Have they released anything more? I know that there's few of them on the marketplace, you can also use PSXerpia tool to play PS1 games, but where are the official ones? I mean there's no awesome titles released, phone was released back in march, is it dead or something? They still making ICS for it so..?
All I found is this:
https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Sony+Computer+Entertainment+Europe+Limited ...1 game?
I mean this phone (as I know) is little more powerfull then PSP, and all I see is one PS1 game in my region. Where are all the Sony exclusive games? God Of War, some MGS, GTA LCS or anything? Are they even planning to release anything? I am confused.
Poland - I see 10 games.
Gotta wait for Playstation Suite, I'd imagine it's coming with the Vita
its out.... i got it its got about 5 games check threads on xda

PS Pocket app keeps telling me that my region is not supported, how to avoid this problem? I have rooted phone.
This is Sony (Sony Ericsson before) not Sony Computer Entertainment.
This isn't an official PlayStation phone. It's an Android phone that's PlayStation certified.There's a difference.
This is what many people thought when it was announced/launched. Don't expect any SCE published games launching exclusively to the Xperia Play.

You can fake your provider to whatever is most convenient and you will be able to purchase some official PlayStation games from the Android Market if they are available.
I faked to Orange (Canada) and was able to purchase games with my US account.
Just use FPse mate
They have been supporting the Xperia play since it came out and you can play all your favorite Ps1 Games 100% relived.
You can also check out N64oid for a Nintendo emulator or try the other one. Mupen64 but it supports the analog sticks.
I have personally tested Mario 64 on it and it's amazing.
Now onto the bit about XP being more powerful then a PSP?
All of that hope is smacked down with the release of this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Vita
The vita is 2x faster than a Xperia play and it's the next generation PSP coming to NA very soon. SCEA will only be worried about making games for that.
So if you wanted an android computer and you got a xperia. you have made a wise choice . if you wanted a gaming device 100% purely. you made a bad one I think
Nah it's ok, I am not big time gamer or something, just wondering.
I have 10 games available and the Official PS app when I check that link. It is ludicrous that it varies so much across the European Union. Ridiculous
I have 10 to. Uuhm ps app? Which link?

I think there's a Jap only Arc variant that's PS certified and I think I read the S and Ion will be PS certified when they launch
Very Nice.
This makes me wonder, if they are being emulated is there any chance of doing same trick as with Playstation pocket, y know
Playing your own PSone games on Plays native emulator
Would be pretty neat

Someone refer this guy to Yifan Lu's PSXperia.
actually i was looking and ive been wondering if they will overhaul the emulator to stop the current flaw if not we have a chance otherwise we need another good developer to start reverse engineering the moment it comes out

I dont know did you understand my point or did i misunderstand everything you said

At the moment i guess psp emulation is taboo, and it will probably never emulate games like kingdom hearts, crisis core, or dissidia, yeah im a square fan, sorry

please please just forget about psp emulation its extremely hard and wont happen on our device by any devs on here. unless sony announces that they are releasing a psp emulator in playstation suite (about a 2% chance) then out it to the back of your head and never mention it. it just wont happen for technical reasons.

My keyword was IF
If these upcoming PSP titles for PS store are truly emulated, could it be cracked/hacked/tamed or just used for our own games just like PSXperia does with PSX tittles ?
But i agree its unlikely, they are possibly ported, but if if

well i believe they are ported so have been changed ti run natively on arm devices (such as our play) but if it is emulated there is a slight chance that it could be abused in such a way as psxperia is.
on a side note if you download any ps1 games off the market such as medievil they have updated them to 1.0.4 which has a license check each time it starts which may stop psxperia working in ice cream sandwich with a updated crash apk to 1.0.4 if they force it
(this is actaully bad as it means your phone uses alot more data checking licenses which doesnt bother me as i have unlimited data allowance but other users may get annoyed if they have a small limited amount of data)
