Gamers toting Android devices will be disappointed to learn that the popular first-generation PlayStation emulator PSX4Droid has been pulled from the Android Market.
It's had a good run, PSX4Droid, and it certainly made the summer of 2010 an entertaining one. However, the days of PSX4Droid have come to an end, as the developer responsible for the application, ZodTTD, yesterday received notification that his application had been taken off the Android Market.
"PSX4droid v2 was pulled by Google due to "Content Policy violation" as noted here," he said via Twitter. "Trying to determine what can be done."

ZoomZodTTD goes on to speculate that the timing of the removal could indicate the arrival of the Xperia Play, Sony's upcoming Android smartphone that will have the ability to play PlayStation games. Throwing yet more weight behind that theory is the introduction of five Xperia Play-exclusive PS One titles to the Android Market: Syphon Filter, MediEvil, Cool Boarders 2, Destruction Derby, and Jumping Flash.However, in contrast to ZodTTD's theory we've got Joystiq reporting that another PSOne emulator for Android, fpse, remains available on the Market.
Google has yet to provide a compelling comment. All the search giant has done so far is confirm that it removes applications that violate its policies.
