Free multi-platform video game emulator

Matsu Player – Multi PSX Emulator is a free-to-use utility & tool that lets you play video games from several other gaming consoles right on your device. Developed by Studio MXE, this app eliminates the need for multiple apps–each corresponding to a game system–when you can have it all in one place.

With this power, Matsu Player – Multi PSX Emulator definitely beats other single-system emulators such as Citra Emulator and M64Plus FZ Emulator APK. However, in terms of control, video, and audio, this multi-platform app remains on par with the rest.

All in one gaming app

If you’re a retro gamer looking to revisit the games of the past, Matsu Player – Multi PSX Emulator is a great place to start. While it takes time to set this up for first-time users, this is worth it once you get this running. After installing, you need to download the rest of the game files to complete its setup. 

Afterward, you can just select the “core” or the console you want to play and load the game ROM, or the emulated copy of the video game. Whether it’s for PlayStation (PSX), the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), or the Game Boy Advance (GBA), you can play it with this app. Of course, the graphics will be the same as the source file–PSX games have better graphics compared to NES ones.

For people who are used to playing with traditional controllers, playing on a smartphone screen will take some practice. Controllers from the original consoles are converted and mapped into the touchscreen, including the Start and Select buttons whenever available. Once you get used to it, you can enjoy your favorite games wherever, whenever you want. This makes portability another strong feature for emulating games on your device.

Play as much as you want

Aside from the time for its first-time setup and the learning curve in transferring to touchscreens, Matsu Player – Multi PSX Emulator is an overall great emulator. In a single app, you can play between different gaming consoles without much hassle. The controller mapping changes with every device but you’re still in one app, with the same design and interface. Its supported systems alone make it highly recommended.
