Underrated

Good app that can go on par with delta emulator especially because of the great library provided from the psp. overall really solid emulator and I’m glad it was finally able to get into the App Store plus I think this emulator should get a lot more attention than it currently has right now

Tilt controls not working at all

I’ve tried pretty much every setting for the tilt controls and they’re not working at all. Looking at the GitHub it seems like nobody has tried to fix the tilt issue for iOS since 2014. If you could fix this it would make the game experience so much better

So nice to see on IOS

I’ve loved this emulator for a while now and to see it officially released on the App Store is so mind boggling to think that we’ve reached this point where apple allows this!

PPSSPP is a First Class Emulator

Henrik Rydgård has created one of the best emulation experiences in the history of emulation. His app, PPSSPP not only emulates PSP games extremely well, but he built in droves of options and enhancements, graphical and otherwise, that brings these classic games to a whole new level outside their original hardware constraints.
And the whole thing is wrapped up in an incredibly user friendly and delightful interface.
PPSSPP sets the standard that all other emulators must live up to.

Finally

Glad to see this emulator on iPhone finally

Amazing for people who know what they’re doing. complicated for people who dont

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

Help

I cant figure out how to download games if it helps im on a ios device (a phone to be more specific) please help

Finally!

Been waiting years for this and it’s out! I hope AirPlay and remote controller support works just as well as it does on Delta

Thanks EU!

Awesome to finally be able to have this app on iPhone after so many years of being available on other platforms!

Almost perfect

Performance is wonderful! Just like on Mac and windows!

Only thing keeping it from 5 stars are a few menu quirks.

- Part of the menu is covered by the Dynamic Island and rounded edges on iPhone
- There’s a text overlap on the controls menu on the iPad 12.9” (2018).
- The controller input recognizes the start button on Bluetooth/MFI controllers as keyboard-escape, and controller combos needs to be enabled to use the start button
- on the iOS home screen App Library, the app is appearing under the category “productivity and finance” (the other App Store emulators appear under entertainment)

Other than those minor quirks, it’s an absolute pleasure to use!
