PlayStation Phone runs PS1 games – with an emulator

It looks like the upcoming Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone/Xperia Play will be able to play your favorite PlayStation games (illegally). The folks who leaked previous footage about the device have decided to bring the original PlayStation experience to the mobile device with the use of an emulator. Previously we saw the phone running games that couldn’t be controlled with the gamepad, but now we get a taste of what gaming with the gamepad will be like, and boy it sure looks delicious. The PlayStation Phone runs PS1 games on an emulator flawlessly, showing the power of the device and the advantages of having a physical gamepad (though the digital joystick/trackpad is still begging to be used). Watch a video of the phone running Resident Evil 2 and Ridge Racer after the break:
