How to run PSX (PlayStation 1) Games on Windows Phone

We all like PlayStation games, but not all of us have Sony PlayStation to run them. But now we can enjoy our favorite PlayStation game on our Windows Phone by the use of an app called FPseCE. The name of this app, FPseCE is short form of First PlayStation Emulator for Windows CE. As the name reveals this app is a PSX emulator for Windows Mobile (formerly known as Windows CE). Previously this app was not so popular due to the lack of powerful processor. With the entry of the devices like HTC HD2 with powerful processor the use of FPSece increased and its very popular now. Now the developers of FPseCE has also developed a similar app, named FPse for Android devices.
