What XEBRA is
XEBRA is a free Android emulator for PlayStation 1 software. Its maker emphasizes accuracy and notes that this can make the emulator slow, while saying it works with almost all models. XEBRA supports SUB files and recommends ripping discs in CloneCD format using game CD mode. Official APK downloads are listed for Android 2.3+, Android 4.0+, and Android 5.0+, with the newest build marked as the Play Store version. Android 11 and later require files to be moved into Android/data/com.dokutajigokusai.xebra/files/. For transfers to PK201, the maker specifies importing a STAT file with the same PK_Version into XEBRA.PK. The app itself reportedly collects no user data, but accesses storage for user-directed and preference files and uses the network for AdMob ads. Google Play states that ads are included.
