PPSSPP 1.9.3

Description

PPSSPP is a portable PSP emulator written in C++, and translates PSP CPU instructions directly into optimized x86, x64 and ARM machine code, using an efficient JIT compiler.

PPSSPP can thus run on quite low-spec hardware, including stronger Android phones and tablets, as long as there's support for OpenGL ES 2.0.

Play your PSP games in HD!

PPSSPP can run your PSP games on your PC in full HD resolution, and play them on Android too. It can even upscale textures that would otherwise be too blurry as they were made for the small screen of the original PSP.

Even on modern Android phones and tablets, you can often run at double the original resolution.

Enhance your experience!

Play in HD resolutions and more
Play on a tablet for big-screen mobile gaming
Customize on-screen touch controls or use an external controller or keyboard
Save and restore game state anywhere, anytime
Crank up the anisotropic filtering and texture scaling
Continue where you left off by transferring saves from your real PSP

Free & Open Source

PPSSPP is an open source project, licensed under the GPL 2.0 (or later). Anyone is welcome to contribute improvements to the code. Partly thanks to such contributions, PPSSPP's compatibility is steadily increasing, letting us all play our PSP games on the devices of our choice.
