[[PPSSPP]] (an acronym for '''PlayStation Portable Simulator Suitable for Playing Portably''') is a multi-platform, open-source [[PlayStation Portable emulators|PlayStation Portable emulator]] written in C++ with the aim of speed and portability. Its development is ongoing and is still in a beta state, but progress is fast and most games are already playable. It is also available as a [[libretro]] core for [[RetroArch]].
==Review==
Since its release in 2012, the emulator is currently capable of playing around <ref name="1000 + PPSSPP games">https://ppssppwiki.com/ppsspp-games/</ref>, more than 9091% of the PSP Library<ref name="Computability List" >http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=1473</ref>. It is very active and gets updated frequently. It's also significantly faster than JPCSP due to it being coded in C++ instead of Java. It is only recommended to use JPCSP if the game does not work in PPSSPP. It is worth noting that not all these games can be played on mobile devices. These devices, especially older ones, often have very poor OpenGL ES drivers, although the situation is improving.<ref name="PPSSPP FAQ">http://www.ppsspp.org/faq.html</ref>.
==System requirements==
** Download [[Emulator_Files#PlayStation_Portable|the original fonts]] and place them into the /flash0/ folder, confirming overwrites; this may correct corrupted text in games that use the system font, such as punctuation replaced by overscores in '''Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy'''.
** Disabling buffered rendering fixed the no text issue with '''Final Fantasy IV''' for some. The forums say this will only fix it on Nvidia cards.
* DLC works without any plugins. For most games, dropping the files in memstick\PSP\GAME inside folders named with the code of the game (for example, PSP\GAME\ULUS10566 for the US version of Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy).
* X doesn't work? Turn on/off Buffered Rendering or MipMapping and try again.
* Too slow? Turn on/off Hardware Transform and try again.
* '''Dangan Ronpa''': Make sure you're using the latest dev build of PPSSPP and that Buffered Rendering, Read Framebuffers to Memory and FramebufferCPUConvert are enabled (FramebufferCPUConvert is only necessary on AMD I think, I don't need it on Intel/Nvidia and other Intel/Nvidia users seem to be the same).
* Having problems on the [[libretro]] port? Try the standalone versions; the libretro port receives updates, but they tend to be behind the standalone version.
