Famed mobile device emulator maker ZodTTD has announced his next project: A PlayStation emulator for Android. After a 1,800+ person petition was signed to get him to port his iPhone project, he accepted He's working with the author of NESoid and GameBoid on this new project, so there's lots of talent going into this new one.
What you see above is not the final control layout, but controls can use the touchscreen, hard buttons ande ven the track ball. Fullscreen is supported, but it won't be running at a high frame rate.
As for what phone is required, you'll need Android 2.x, and they're saying that you'll need at least a Cortex A8 or Snapdragon (any EVO 4G peeps out there?) to rock this. ZodTTD says the emu is already running faster on the Nexus One that it is on the iPhone, and they're still tweaking as we speak.
There's no release date yet, but DigitalDisbeliever has some images from an early sneak peek to hold you over.

Android PlayStation emulator Cease and Desist is in the works
Guess I need an android phone with physical buttons.
Also got the genesis emulator, desert/jungle strike ftw.
I'll get this as soon as possible for sure. The emulator are truly excellent on Android.
...Sorry. I'm stll more of a Windows Mobile fan than Android for almost everything. There are about as many emulators for WM as ther are for an actual PC.
Why should that be noted? This is not about running an OS emu but a gaming emu on the Android system that is already on the iphone. Mentioning the android emu for the iphone means absolutely nothing.
As for comparisons to PSP... fine and all that, but I will be taking my phone *everywhere*. Not so my PSP.
Also, won't PS "roms" (re: disc images) take up a LOT of space?
