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.

Ratings and reviews

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.

Works super smooth (on my device anyway) touch controls work super smooth and are highly customizable; works with external controllers (I use 8Bitdo+ pro) not sure what more exactly you do with the gold version, but it worked so well I wanted to support the devs. Save states are so nice because those games that make you "get to a save point" are no longer. Just save the state and come back exactly where you left off.
