Devil Dice is a video game for the PlayStation. It was originally created by developer Shift on the "homebrew" Yaroze platform, and later turned into a commercial game. Released in 1998, it is one of only a handful of games to make the leap from the Yaroze to commercial release. The game is a million-seller and a demo version was released as a PlayStation Classic game for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable on November 7, 2007. A sequel, Xi Jumbo was released on the original PlayStation in Japan and Asia. The "Jumbo Mode" gameplay changes were integrated into Bombastic on the PS2. A version Xi Little also appeared on the Wonderswan Color. A PSP version, Xi Coliseum, was released in Japan on March 9, 2006. This version includes support for ad hoc wireless play between up to five players. Bombastic, for the PlayStation 2, is the second sequel to Devil Dice, and incorporates all play modes from previous releases.
There are two components for playing a psx Devil Dice game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psx OS and software.
The second component is the Devil Dice game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Retroarch – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading Retroarch, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the RetroArch-1.7.5-x86-setup.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Devil Dice. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Retroarch and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
