XEBRA
Japan
What it is
XEBRA is an Android app that emulates the PlayStation 1. The maker describes it as highly accurate and says that accuracy can make it slow, though it works with almost all models. It supports CloneCD and SUB disc-image formats; the maker recommends ripping discs in CloneCD format and game CD mode. The maker provides APK downloads for Android 2.3+, Android 4.0+, and Android 5.0+, with the Android 5.0+ build marked as the same as the Play Store version. Users on Android 11+ must move files to Android/data/com.dokutajigokusai.xebra/files/. For transferring data to PK201, the maker says to import a STAT file with the same PK_Version into XEBRA.PK. The maker says the app itself does not collect user data; it accesses storage for user-directed and preference files and uses the network to display AdMob ads. The Google Play listing says the app contains ads. The listed developer is 重本 恭孝, in Japan.
