Comparisons

PPSSPP (compatibility, AdHoc compatibility, AdHoc compatibility#2): Released in November of 2012. Compatibility is higher than JPCSP and games runs significantly faster. The emulator is currently capable of playing the vast majority of the PSP library, with 2971 (83%) out of 3590 reported titles can be played from start to finish. Unlike JPCSP though, PPSSPP has NO support for XLink Kai or PSP menu (XrossMediaBar & XMB) at the moment. And just like PCSX2 for DVD movies; PPSSPP has NO support for UMD movies/UMD Video Games either.

JPCSP: Requires the Java Runtime Environment to be installed. It is also slower compared to PPSSPP. JPCSP was built around debugging and was never really meant to be a standard emulator. They made it so they could understand the PSP's inner workings better. Thanks to the JPCSP team, and other PSP homebrew teams, PPSSPP developed at breakneck speeds. Both teams communicate a lot and contribute with each other. Unlike PPSSPP, JPCSP does support XLink Kai. On top of that there is partial PSP menu (XrossMediaBar & XMB) and UMD movie support.
