ePSXe adds – The long-running ePSXe PS1 emulator for Android has been updated to version 2.0.19, adding Google Drive support for virtual memory cards and save states, plus support for Google’s Oboe Sound Engine for lower-latency audio.
The moment you quit a PS1 game on Android, your progress is either safely waiting—or it isn’t. With ePSXe’s latest update, that fear gets a lot smaller.
The long-running PS1 emulator for Android, ePSXe, has just received Google Drive support. In the new version, you can upload and store your virtual memory cards and save states in your Google Drive. That means picking up where you left off becomes easier when you switch devices. and it also gives you a backup option if something happens to your phone.
This isn’t the emulator’s first cloud sync feature. ePSXe has supported Dropbox for years, but Google Drive can be more convenient for many users since it’s tied to a Google account.
There’s another change in version 2.0.19 that targets day-to-day playback: support for Google’s Oboe Sound Engine. The ePSXe team says this enables lower-latency audio, which could be especially useful for anyone listening through Bluetooth earphones.
ePSXe’s update arrives more than a decade into its run, and that alone is a quiet kind of reassurance for people still playing on older devices. The emulator’s modest requirements remain a big part of its appeal: Android Lollipop, a 1GHz single-core CPU, and 256MB of RAM.
