Comments on DuckStation for Android

★★★★★ Benjamin Fazzio · Mar 28, 2026

This is the emulator to get for PSX on Android. Already a fantastic app on PC, but even better on Android, because now you can play some of the all-time greats anywhere you go! Great performance all around, even on my lower-end Moto G Power. Tested several games... Smackdown 2, Crash 1, Ape Escape, all ran perfectly, even with a CRT shader and 3x resolution boost, impressive for my high-end phone. External controllers are supported too, and works great with my Xbox One controller!

Duck Station you're done it again. You are wonderful in the PC. And you are awesome in the phone keep up the good work 👏. And whoever reading this I highly recommend the app 👍 thank you, and keep up the good work.

★★★★★ Brandon Peck · Jul 20, 2026

Best psx emulator on android hands down, excited about any future updates, but it runs perfect and has everything I need!

★★☆☆☆ Harry Pierre · Apr 5, 2026

I love this, but it messes up when u put in a code. It will act glitchy. Then it messes up the game. Was playing Final Fantasy 7. It started to glitch and some of the parts would not work.

★★☆☆☆ Oyako Don · Apr 25, 2026

The save data is not easy to move between devices. It saves in the protected folder of Android by default, and you cannot change it. Moving between PC and Android is impossible. It has the import function, but if you import save data from DS for PC, DS for Android won't read it. I've tried every possibility and did deep research for 5+ hours, but there was no success. Why did they design to lock the save folder? It makes no sense. It's a pity because everything else was high quality.

Nothing good, because the sound is delayed please fix the sound perfect without delay.
