ePSXe for Android reached v2.0.19 in July 2026 (Play listing updated July 10, 2026), with point releases up to 2.0.19.5 following. The changelog below is the official “What’s New” from Google Play — the Android app is paid ($3.75), so these updates land through the Play Store like any other app update.
The 2.0.19 changelog, item by item
- Oboe Sound Engine — a new low-latency audio path you select in the sound preferences. The most user-visible change for anyone who noticed audio lag (see our audio fix).
- Improved CHD support — the compressed single-file disc format works better on mobile; 2.0.19.5 added a CHD CDDA fix, so CD-audio games in CHD form are the specific beneficiaries.
- Google Drive support added; Dropbox API updated — memory cards and save states can sync to your own cloud accounts. We walk through it in the cloud save guide.
- CAS & MMPX shaders added; CRT shaders fixed — sharper options for 2D games alongside the repaired CRT look.
- 16 KB page alignment and SDK 35 — under-the-hood compliance with current Android requirements; keeps the app installable and well-behaved on new devices.
- Edge-to-edge display and better portrait 4:3 centering — presentation polish for modern tall screens.
- 2.0.19.2/3/4 fixed an SPU regression — if your sound broke right after the first 2.0.19 release, updating within Play is the fix.
What did not change
The fundamentals: it is still a paid app with no ads, still ships with no games and no BIOS (you supply both, from your own discs and console), and still uses the same memory card system that syncs with the PC version. The Play listing shows a 4.48 average from about 53,000 reviews and over a million installs — figures we cite because they come from the store itself, not from a marketing page.
Updating safely
Update through Google Play only. Back up your memcards folder first if you are mid-RPG (states are version-sensitive; memory cards are the durable format). If you sideloaded an “APK” from elsewhere in the past, that copy will never receive these updates — replace it with the Play version; our Android setup guide starts there. Relation to the desktop line: Android’s 2.0.19 is a separate, more active branch than Windows’ 2.0.18 — the version history keeps them untangled.
