About this game

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.

Ratings and reviews

Even though the free version is the same, it works so good I wanted to support the dev. Great job! God of War, Liberty City, and Gran Turismo work great at 6x resolution on my Pixel 6! Every controller works, including Stadia's (RIP). One tip: I map the R3 button for the menu since it doesn't exist on the PSP, and because I keep hitting the trigger by accident. I haven't tried mapping the triggers to the bumpers yet, because those would be easier to hit in gameplay. Easy to map too.

Analog stick dead zone is too large with no way to adjust it. Tested with a Xbox one controller, a few 360 controllers, and 2 phone game pads. Not sure how this feature has been left out for so many years, but it really needs it. I like to feather my analog stick in racing games, and it's very hard with this emulator. Absolutely love it aside from that.

Two bugs: 1. Switching back to app often makes it crash. The whole phone freezes and requires a hard restart. This happens about twice a day. 2. Switching back to app also adds a black bar on the left which covers part of the screen. Toggling immersive mode on and off resolves the issue. Otherwise this is an excellent app.
