Policenauts on Psx4all?

I was wondering if it is possible to play Policenauts on the iPhone/iPod Touch by using Psx4all on Cydia. I tried loading the disc 1 iso, but it just stays on a black screen and doesn't load.

Edit: Nevermind. I was just being stupid and forgot to put the bios in the ROMs folder. The game so far is running decently smooth, and the sound would sound great if it didn't turn on and off constantly.

Edit 2: The actual game parts (where you have to click around) runs great and very smooth. Sometimes, however, the background music will skip around and will sound wierd. Of course, it be a lot easier if Psx4all had mouse support, but it's fine. The cut scenes look nice, but those are where the sound problems come in.

Hello again. I am sorry to report, but I have come to a point in the game where it is impossible to continue on Psx4all. It happens when
Spoiler:
Jonathan and Ed get out of AMM after they find "9 Stars" dead, and get attacked by the mosquitoes. They leave, do a re-cap of what happened, then the spot someone tampering with the car. When they go to chase him, it goes to a cutscene (which of course runs terribly) and then it plays the shooting music and freezes at a black screen.

I know this might seem like a annoying question, but why exactly are you playing through the game on Psx4all when it runs like crap? Is running it on the PC (which is emulated essentially perfect) completely out of the question?

If you absolutely can't live without playing it on your iPhone then may I recommend copying your save to the PC, getting past the scene in a PC PSX emulator, saving and then transferring back to Psx4all.

Also, chances are you will have problems when you are forced to swap disks shortly after this scene so may I recommend merging both disks into one ISO using this...

Doing this removes disk swapping for emulators.

I've already played through it on the PC. I just like replaying games, and I wanted to see how well it would run on the iPhone.
