Reviews for PPSSPP Gold - PSP emulator

Paid for Gold to thank for this amazing emulator. Been using it for a while now, with S5,S6, S7, S9+, S10+ S20 Ultra, S21 Ultra, 23 Ultra, Update* S24 Ultra, S25 Ultra 🤌🔥 . Amazing work, best app in the store if you know how to tweak with it. The highest spec phones will run more games smoothly. Highly recommended. And obviously, as the description says ,NOT ALL GAMES WILL WORK.

I installed the free version of this emulator but I liked this emulator it runs games on my phone on 60 fps but it lags rare times but i liked this emulator it has better texture than the normal emulator guys buy this emulator very good 👍🏻

Why can't I use mouse with my phone like in the PC version ? I bought the gold version thinking it would include it... Edit: They actually did it !!!!!!

My games were crashing on the free version so I bought this gold edition but the games still crash. I don't see what's different between the two versions.

I absolutely love this app. The ability to play original PSP games on the go on my phone or any device is simply amazing. I didn't have to pay for this version but I really wanted to say thanks to the developer.

It's a great app, i mostly use it to play efootball but ever since the latest update the commentary no longer works, i've heard a few others complain about it too I don't know what's wrong with it, please fix it

I'm pretty sure there aren't any additional features for the paid version but this app is so good I wanted to support the developer. I played through FF7 Crisis Core again for the first time since middle school

Like many other people, I have used this application for free for a couple years now. I feel committed to acquire the paid version as a mean of gratitude to the developer team for their magnificent work, and I encourage to whoever has the means to do it, to also get the paid version to support the developer team. Thank you all🙏✨.

Always love playing my favorite PSP games ever since I lost my actual PSP in my high school days. Thank you so much Henrik for this amazing emulator. You have my donations for this, and I hope you keep improving this more and more. Honestly, this is the only emulator with my saved games I could only enjoy the most than anything. Once again, thank you. I will keep supporting you for this.

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.

If your phone has the proper specs than every PSP ISO will run flawlessly. If your phone is a pre-paid Android than it's hit or miss. 2 years ago I installed this emulator to my phone then deleted it. However, once I upgraded to a more powerful phone more ISOs run either perfect or much more improved with minimal slowdown. Now, if I can only figure out if my laptop can handle this amazing emulator. If you loved PSP back in the day this app is a MUST have!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The app is absolutely wonderful. It works great on my phone especially for the games I prefer playing such as RPGs like Harvest Moon, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and many others. I suppose the device matters otherwise you may experience some issues but the games I play seem pretty lightweight. The free version of this app is also really good but if you want to support the developers, I say go for it. You'll be saving so much money compared to what you'd be spendin for a PSP and games.

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.

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

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.
