PPSSPP - PSP emulator 4+

Crazy how today we can say we run retro games on our phones through emulation. This one has to indeed be my favorite. But the fact that the dev only really makes income from possible donations and the paid version which almost no greedy fool would buy… Scares me, as it cost money to keep apps on the App Store, might not be a lot but it does add up in the long run. Crazy how I’m suggesting this but Dev needs to add ads in this free version just to keep a flow of income. Not pop up ads but maybe ads on the bottom on the screen that likely won’t affect gameplay but will still be there for you to click on. Just my thoughts, it also pushes greedy people who actually have money to get the paid version.

Or lock certain features to the paid version only, like possibly controller support and higher resolutions for devices and maybe even multiplayer. These don’t affect gameplay but rather just give a better experience that should be a premium to those who pay for it.

You should not feel guilty when adding features like this as everyone that downloads this version basically gets a full free premium service if they know how to use it

I love emulators, and when I saw that apple was finally allowing emulators I was so excited. especially once this app finally released i was even more excited. Now, personally I had no trouble I’ve emulated plenty of wii and ps3 games but from the standpoint of someone who has no idea how to play games, extract them or even how to get them to pop up in the menu. I can tell this would be decently complicated. complicated compared to emulators like delta but not as complicated compared to emulators like retroarch. But once you figure it out its amazing you can use a controller like backbone, customize the button layout with touchscreen, and play thousands of PSP games on a tiny phone. There Isn’t any more to say this is an amazing app 10/10

So far, this has been the best move for Apple. Allowing emu’s like Delta and PPSSPP on the AppStore is a big win for Apple and its users. Not only will it bring more people to iOS, it’ll bring more people to the older games we all played growing up. My only issue with PPSSPP is I can’t seem to find an option to change the buttons for my controller. Using RT for START and START for the Menu gets confusing when it says press START on the game and I press START on my controller and it takes me to Menu. Messed with it for a while before I gave up trying to change it because I had no luck finding an option for it. Other than that it’s a 10/10 app, highly recommend!
