They manage to run PlayStation games on Android Wear watches
The Android Wear platform developed by Google for deviceswearables or who dress up as smart watches is still in its infancy. And it is that, despite the possible utility of receiving notifications on the wrist, there is still a lot of software development (functions) and hardware (gadgets and devices) to that are really utensils necessaryIn the meantime, however, some people decide to go a step further and demonstrate the capabilities of these smartwatches with Android Wear, like playing PlayStation One (1st generation) video games, for example
This is a new feat by the user and expert known as EpicLPer, who already gave the note when getting run the Windows 95 operating system on one of the smart watches with Android Wear This time, the experiment has been focused on leisure, more specifically to make games of the first generation of Sony's video console, the PlayStation work , in one of these devices wearables Something that has been achieved with some mastery and is that, despite the little use of these devices as tools of gameplay, the tested title works and is relatively playable.
This expert's job seems to have been to make an application emulator work on his LG G Watch This is the tool ePSXe, capable of making the device work as if it were a classic PlayStation, something that has already been used with different game consoles on other devices such as smartphones The really curious thing is to see it running on a smart watch. After this step, all you have to do is run the application from your wrist and choose the game in digital version.
The technical specifications of these watches leave the old PlayStation far behind, so this aspect is not the biggest problem to play to Sony console titles from your wrist. Yes, it is rather the playability And it is that on screens that do not reach two inches in diameter it is more than complicated press buttonsOf course, Android Wear has already proven to be compatible with controllers and wireless controllers viabluetooth Something that is not seen in the video recorded by EpicLPer, and that would allow playing in a more comfortable.
According to what EpicLPer has told us, he has only tried his favorite game, Croc But the graphic power of these devices and the proper functioning of the emulator application would allow running relatively fluid other more well-known and charismatic games likeTomb Raider, Final Fantasy or the fighting title Tekken Of course, in his experience, the Device battery drains twice as fast while playing with it. Which would only take a few hours. And it is that these gadgets are not yet prepared for this type of use.
However, day after day the most interesting issues are tested in these devices that are still the seed of what is to come. Questions that are not very useful if you have to unfasten the watch to use both hands, or that means leaving it without battery for a while, but that can focus the path to the next devices that are yet to arrive.
