App summary

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

PPSSPP is the original and best 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.

No games are included with this download. Use 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.

This is the free version. If you want to support future development, please download PPSSPP Gold instead!

See http://www.ppsspp.org for more information, and see the forums for game compatibility information.

I only got this to play one game and I had never used this emulator before, but despite that it works really well! Even with touchscreen controls it works great, although connecting a controller and using that instead is ideal. The game loaded quickly and had barely any lag or input delay, and the visuals were nice and crisp. The emulator itself also comes with a ton of options for further tweaks, but for me it worked fine without changing anything.

Best standalone emulator of all time on android! This emulator is perfect and super easy to use. Graphic options are great, fast foward button is perfect (while using BT controler it auto maps to the right trigger button), performance is top notch with many simple to use options to optimize every game, cheats are super easy to install, the home screen can be customized however you like! I can't find a single problem with this emulator and can't recommend it enough to any psp fan!

The best app ever. I just figured out, there are games that don't have controller configuration settings and the emulator, in on screen touch control settings, can be fully customized. I thought we were missing some touch control features, but I just hadn't explored enough. Thanks! Seriously, the best app!
