This tool will take a PSX image that you legally own and convert it to be playable on the Xperia Play with the emulator extracted from the packaged game "Crash Bandicoot."
Every time I try to play a converted game on my Play Station Pocket, it will briefly display an "updating" message, then it will kick me out into the main menu. Honestly, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, though I will say that, when I tried to extract the apk and zapk, I got an error message that read "The APK is not a known valid one. The extractor will continue, but you may get errors later on. CRC32: 1992425944"
My apk is com.sony.playstation.ncua94900_1.apk
Crash Bandicoot USA Version 1.0.3, CRC32: 76C201D8
My zapk is NCUA94900_1_2.zpak
My Android version is 2.3.3
I've tried using Daemon Tools, using Alchohol 52%, changing the datatype to Play Station, using PSXperia 1.0, using PSXperia 2.0, using an already set up PSXperia 1.0 from http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=33284 , extracting as mds/mdf files, extracting as an mdx file, extracting as CCD/IMG/SUB files, using Package Installer, using Verify and Install, and even downloading ROM files from various emulation websites. However, no matter what I do, I keep getting this same error.
Also, for some reason, only PSXperia 2.0 had a log:

One final piece of information:
The game I have been trying to get to work is the Collectors' Edition of Spyro the Dragon. I'm not sure if that makes any difference, but I thought I should mention it just in case.
