About this game

Play PSP games on your Android device, at high definition with extra features!

PPSSPP is the best, original and only PSP emulator for Android. It runs a lot of games, but depending on the power of your device all may not run at full speed.

Buy this Gold version to support development. There is also a free version.

No games are included with this download. Dump your own real PSP games and turn them into .ISO or .CSO files, or simply play free homebrew games, which are available online. Put those in /PSP/GAME on your SD card / USB storage.

GREAT JOB. but just recently while playing MHFU the emulator suddenly started lagging. I've messed with all the settings I can to reduce it but it won't go away now. not constant but bad enough to impact gameplay when it hits. it's not hardware limitations I'm playing on Samsung A36 5G. I've never had this app lag before even when playing on an older model of my current phone with less RAM. Which is why I'm confused. maybe a bug or issue to look at. it's just annoying and potentially quest endin

I don't know if it has any more features than the free version but I was so impressed with the free version I wanted to pay the developer for his work. If you have already installed the free version, this one imports your games library and settings immediately. No time is wasted setting things up again. What it can play and how well it plays is limited by the power of your hardware. I'm using this on a fairly high end Android TV box and it is working great. My Bluetooth controller was immediately mapped as I would want it. You can always remap buttons and sticks to your personal preference. This is certainly a 5 star app. If you find it less than a 5 star rating, your hardware is most likely not up to the task of proper PSP emulation. The application itself does an outstanding job. I would say I am happier with this app purchase than any other thus far. PPSSPP is hands down the best PSP emulator to date.

Incredibly good, but at the moment I'm livid because I've been using this app for years on all sorts of devices and I noticed they added a option to move your main PPSSPP folder on the android at some point, wanted to move it to the top layer of my phone so I could add/edit files on the fly. The app gave me an option to move all the files over, and I selected it! It did not move any files. Instead, it created new empty folders, and deleted all of my data. All of it. Years of game data just gone
