;[[PPSSPP]]:Released An [[High/Low_level_emulation|HLE approach]] PSP emulator and released in November of 2012. Compatibility is higher than [[JPCSP]] and games runs significantly faster. Despite limitations in its [[#Hardware features|PSP hardware feature support]], PPSSPP shines as an emulator with [[#Enhancements|impressive enhancement capabilities]]. The emulator is currently capable of playing the vast majority of the PSP library but , while [https://report.ppsspp.org/games?compat=unknown remaining 3571 titles are still unreported]. Additionally, both the libretro core and standalone version of PPSSPP (as of [https://www.ppsspp.org/blog/1-16-release-announcement v1.16's release]) support the RetroAchievements service for players hunting video game achievements. The standalone version is highly recommended over the libretro core as the [https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+libretro libretro core version can be slow/unstable], especially for mobile users.
;[[JPCSP]]:Requires An [[High/Low_level_emulation|LLE approach]] PSP emulator, and it requires the Java Runtime Environment to be installed. It is also slower compared to [[PPSSPP]]. JPCSP , and it 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.

During the era of the PlayStation Portable (PSP), "UMD Movie" was more common as it represented the main function of the format but as UMD adoption expanded beyond movies and included other types of video content such as TV shows, music videos, and documentaries, "UMD Video" became a more generic term to encompass the full range of applications. While UMD primarily focused on movies and video content, there was also some limited use of the format for UMD Music. However, it wasn't nearly as widespread as movie or other UMD Video content. UMD-PG on the other hand stands for UMD-Players Game, and it was used for a unique type of [[Home_Media_Player#Interactive_media|interactive media]] released on UMDs for the PlayStation Portable (PSP).
*PPSSPP has no UMD Video or UMD-PG support at the moment: [https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/4902 UMD Movie request] and [https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/11662 UMD Video and UMD-PG request] for PPSSPP. See [https://www.ppsspp.org/docs/faq/ PPSSPP FAQ: Can PPSSPP play UMD video discs?] section.*JPCSP has [https://github.com/jpcsp/jpcsp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen%2Bclosed+umd+video+ partial UMD Video support] ([https://github.com/jpcsp/jpcsp/issues/388#issuecomment-1300530907 (demonstration)]). Also see [https://github.com/jpcsp/jpcsp/blob/master/src/jpcsp/GUI/UmdVideoPlayer.java (UmdVideoPlayer.java)]for how it's implemented.
