EDIT: STILL the best! The best emulator available for any system. PPSSPP is the most robust, organized, and efficient console emulator, and I have them all. It runs on 98 percent of phones. If you have a mid range phone or above, you can easily go 2 or 4 times resolution and use upscale image options too. Often a game can look like a PS3 title, when using these features. auto-loads metadata for titles including artwork. No bios files required. Buy the GOLD. Developers have earned your money.

Thank you so much! This psp emulation experience was amazing! It brought back so many old memories from my PSP days. I still have my original PSP-1000 and I remember all of its quirks. The UMD sluggish spinning disk, the poor battery life, and the dimly lit screen and more. Amazing! This app even fixes the magic cast stuttering issue in FFT! And just for that alone I decided to buy Gold. My only wish was that Gold provide extra features over the free version. Thank you.

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
