Android PlayStation emulator PSX4Droid pulled from Market, fingers pointing at Xperia Play
Uh oh, the day has finally come. We just gathered from Joystiq (and confirmed ourselves) that the renowned Android first-gen PlayStation emulator, PSX4Droid, has been pulled from the Market. The reason? Its author, ZodTTD, said Google informed him that it was a matter of "Content Policy violation," but as anyone would suspect, the fact that it's taken eight months for Google to take action suggests this is likely to do with the imminent launch of the Xperia Play, which will have its own mechanism to power the original PlayStation's games. Another mystery is that it looks like other emulators such as SNesoid (SNES), GameBoid (Game Boy) and, in particular, FPSe (PlayStation) appear to be safe for now, which might suggest that there are other reasons behind this removal; but still, the timing suggests otherwise. On the bright side, we can always rely on third-party app markets.Android PlayStation emulator PSX4Droid pulled from Market, fingers pointing at Xperia Play originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 30 Mar 2011 22:16:00 EDT.
