PPSSPP is a fast, portable PlayStation Portable (PSP) emulator written in C++ that runs PSP games on Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS. It uses high-level emulation (HLE) so no BIOS file is required, and supports HD upscaling, texture scaling, save states, and ad-hoc multiplayer.
Use cases
- play PSP games on PC or phone in HD
- upscale PSP game textures for sharper graphics
- transfer saves from a real PSP and continue playing
- play PSP games with ad-hoc multiplayer over a relay server
- use cheats and RetroAchievements with PSP games
- run PSP games on Android with touch or external controllers
When to choose
- you want to emulate PSP games across desktop and mobile platforms
- you need an open-source emulator that requires no BIOS file
- you want HD rendering, texture upscaling, and save states for PSP games
When to avoid
- you need to emulate other consoles like PS2, PS Vita, or Nintendo handhelds
- you require perfect accuracy for every PSP title, as compatibility varies by game
