love playing games on the go but there's something that just stress me... I wanna play prince of persia and it runs ok but I wanna map my right joystick to use it to control the camara (in that case I need the joystick to emulate the left joystick and press the L1 to move the camara) but I've been playing with the mapping for an hour now and can't seem to get the right joystick to work at all

The Silent Hill Origins bug has retrurned. Modern phones can work around it but low spec devices will lag terribly with the flashlight. (it'd been fixed and somehow returned many times throughout PPSSPP's life. I know -_- it's annoying for everybody.) Anyway, most things work good. I actually came back to suggest implementing better rapid fire controls. 3rd Birthday is just relentless when it comes to handguns 😩 it's one of the only games I feel I NEED rapidfire in to save my fingers.

Great app! Emulation runs perfect on my phone and the nostalgia value alone was worth the $5. Unfortunately, ads started showing unprompted in the middle of using other apps, like the calculator... Great app, and I don't regret the $5 I spent. But I'll leave it uninstalled till I am about to fly or some such. The intrusive ads are not worth it otherwise.

I've been following this emulator since it's first release, and although I was skeptical it'd work perfectly on current devices, I've been impressed with it's progress. And with the latest update (0.9.6), many games are now what I consider fully playable! Can't wait to see the future advances that the amazing devs make!

The use of Vulcan has really made this emulator run so smoothly now. Older versions would lag and run very low frames per second. Love this app now and my xbox one controller is like plug n play, no need to setup, it just works fine! Years after purchase I say it's worth it! Developers got it right and your able to tweak the settings to your preference.

I don't know if it has any more features than the free version but I was so impressed with the free version I wanted to pay the developer for his work. If you have already installed the free version, this one imports your games library and settings immediately. No time is wasted setting things up again. What it can play and how well it plays is limited by the power of your hardware. I'm using this on a fairly high end Android TV box and it is working great. My Bluetooth controller was immediately mapped as I would want it. You can always remap buttons and sticks to your personal preference. This is certainly a 5 star app. If you find it less than a 5 star rating, your hardware is most likely not up to the task of proper PSP emulation. The application itself does an outstanding job. I would say I am happier with this app purchase than any other thus far. PPSSPP is hands down the best PSP emulator to date.

Two bugs: 1. Switching back to app often makes it crash. The whole phone freezes and requires a hard restart. This happens about twice a day. 2. Switching back to app also adds a black bar on the left which covers part of the screen. Toggling immersive mode on and off resolves the issue. Otherwise this is an excellent app.

It works great, especially if you have a controller to play with.. everything is really good. Except for one tiny issue. Certain rom files don't work. Not sure if it's the links I'm downloading but I tried multiple sites trying to find certain games and they never show the folder icon like the other zip files do. So I'm a little disappointed only because I can't find a good file for some titles I like. Otherwise I say it's definitely worth the 10$ we spend more than that on bs anyway 😂🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm going to be honest. This is an awesome emulator. It's great, but it's not perfect. The reason? While I'm playing my games during the first level, the emulator itself crashes. It's been happening constantly! If you could fix this issue, I'd really appreciate it. This emulator is fantastic, but the constant crashes during the first level, are killing the experience. Thanks, Alex.

Analog stick dead zone is too large with no way to adjust it. Tested with a Xbox one controller, a few 360 controllers, and 2 phone game pads. Not sure how this feature has been left out for so many years, but it really needs it. I like to feather my analog stick in racing games, and it's very hard with this emulator. Absolutely love it aside from that.

I use the 8bit-do controller and haven't had many problems reconfiguring controls. My device ain't best and it works well, but I just recently had an issue where the speed/processing of the game was really good, and something I did (on my phone perhaps) tanked the performance. I couldn't pin it to any one thing so I'm redownloading but getting gold instead to support the dev. Truly a great emulator that worked flawlessly despite my phone's performance, now I need to fine tune the settings.

Even though the free version is the same, it works so good I wanted to support the dev. Great job! God of War, Liberty City, and Gran Turismo work great at 6x resolution on my Pixel 6! Every controller works, including Stadia's (RIP). One tip: I map the R3 button for the menu since it doesn't exist on the PSP, and because I keep hitting the trigger by accident. I haven't tried mapping the triggers to the bumpers yet, because those would be easier to hit in gameplay. Easy to map too.

This is really the best PSP emulator out there, by far. *One thing I would love to see added is multiple Profiles, for settings and/or control layouts.* I don't like having the joystick and D-pad on the screen as they take up too much space together, but some games need one or the other. It would amazing to be able to switch between them with ease.

Works super smooth (on my device anyway) touch controls work super smooth and are highly customizable; works with external controllers (I use 8Bitdo+ pro) not sure what more exactly you do with the gold version, but it worked so well I wanted to support the devs. Save states are so nice because those games that make you "get to a save point" are no longer. Just save the state and come back exactly where you left off.

Incredibly good, but at the moment I'm livid because I've been using this app for years on all sorts of devices and I noticed they added a option to move your main PPSSPP folder on the android at some point, wanted to move it to the top layer of my phone so I could add/edit files on the fly. The app gave me an option to move all the files over, and I selected it! It did not move any files. Instead, it created new empty folders, and deleted all of my data. All of it. Years of game data just gone

EDIT: STILL the best! The best emulator available for any system. PPSSPP is the most robust, organized, and efficient console emulator, and I have them all. It runs on 98 percent of phones. If you have a mid range phone or above, you can easily go 2 or 4 times resolution and use upscale image options too. Often a game can look like a PS3 title, when using these features. auto-loads metadata for titles including artwork. No bios files required. Buy the GOLD. Developers have earned your money.

Thank you so much! This psp emulation experience was amazing! It brought back so many old memories from my PSP days. I still have my original PSP-1000 and I remember all of its quirks. The UMD sluggish spinning disk, the poor battery life, and the dimly lit screen and more. Amazing! This app even fixes the magic cast stuttering issue in FFT! And just for that alone I decided to buy Gold. My only wish was that Gold provide extra features over the free version. Thank you.
