Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PPSSPP at 4.5 against Hacker Keyboard's 3.1. PPSSPP also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 49 months) and review sentiment (72% vs 43%). Hacker Keyboard's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
