 Quick Links Official Site Official Forums PPSSPP FAQ Compatibility List OSX Unofficial Builds Linux Unofficial Builds About PPSSPP is a PSP emulator (a very good one, at that), created by one of the co-founders of Dolphin (a fantastic Gamecube and Wii emulator). It’s notable for coming out of basically nowhere, having fantastic compatibility right out of the gate, and being able to make PSP games look very, very pretty. It’s also getting updates at a fairly solid pace, here’s some of the new features from 0.9.9: July 22, 2014: 0.9.9 is here! posted:CLUT (paletted) texturing from framebuffers supported, fixing many graphical issues like the shadows in Final Fantasy: Type-0 Additionally, I’d like for this thread to double as a place to share obscure or unloved PSP games you felt didn’t get a fair shake on release (including games that were flawed due to original performance issues, which are less of a problem when emulated). The PSP got a (perhaps not undeserved) reputation as “that Monster Hunter handheld we played PS2 ports on”, when it has so much more to enjoy! How do I get started? Are there any BIOS I should get, will I need to mount my games, whats the best plugin to use??? Woah woah woah, slow down there dude. Unlike most emulators for modern consoles, PPSSPP doesn’t require any BIOS, additional plugins, or image mounting. You simply download the emulator, unzip it, then point it to your directory of (ripped, following the instructions listed on the PPSSPP FAQ page) PSP games, and you should see them available in-emulator, complete with fancy title pictures, tadaa! How about making the games prettier, how do I do that? All graphics settings are available within the settings menu navigatable within the emulator (or via the Games Settings tab at the top of the screen, although not as neatly sorted). The simplest enhancements you can do are enabling a Post Processing Shader, raising the Rendering Resolution above the default 1:1, and enabling Texture Scaling. You may also want to enable Linear Filtering if your game is 2D or uses many 2D elements. Can I use an Xinput controller with PPSSPP? Of course! Xinput/360 button configuration comes preset with the emulator. Does PPSSPP Gold have any additional features? Nope, only the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing you helped contribute to an awesome project. And a gold D-Pad icon, thats nice too. Neurolimal fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Jul 24, 2014 |

Games List Mega Man: Powered Up Remake of the first Mega Man game, was ignored at release due to its overly cutesy art style, weak voice acting, and questionable new characters (google Oilman). In spite of that, it’s a genuinely fun reimagining of the original, has crazy amount of content (including the ability to unlock all the robot masters as playable characters, with their own gimmicks and exploration mechanics), and the ability to create and save your own playable levels (still functional in PPSSPP, however not easily shareable, yet). Suffers from some stiff controls and tinny sounding music, but both of those were problems on the original PSP release, as well.  Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X Remake of the first MMX game, more faithful than Powered Up, but at the same time it feels more barebones and less polished, and some of the decisions (such as adding more non-essential characters with dialogue) are very odd, to say the least. Controls better than Powered Up though, and it adds a short OVA and a playable Vile to the game, which makes it a version of MMX worth checking out at least once. There is a known bug where the game seems to freeze at the first loading screen, simply press the spacebar when this happens to skip past it, and everything else will run just fine.  Jeanne D’Arc SRPG by Level-5 (known for White Knight Chronicles, Dragon Quest VIII, and Dark Cloud), Story is essentially Joan of Arc + Fantasy monsters + Magical Girl Transformations, which should be enough to convince you to give it a shot. The gameplay itself is solid as to be expected from Level-5, the artwork is very clean, and the voice acting is, for the most part, solid. It might not be immediately apparent in the above picture, but the models look really, really good and benefit greatly from increased resolutions and texture scaling.

Ac!d is a stealth strategy game. A stealth strategy card game.  Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles Orgia Carnaval posted:I really love Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles. Basically, it's a remake of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood in full 3D graphics. It's structurally the exact same game as RoB, but it has new voice acting, redone dialogue, two extra boss fights (The Hydra and an extra form for Dracula) and Maria is still hilariously overpowered. They basically went out of their way to get the little details right and it's so fun. The game's speed does not suffer at all, Richter's whip still has all of the weight behind it that it should, a myriad of merman still show up like in RoB, and Dracula still turns into a dumb giant bat monster, it's great. You can also unlock the original Rondo of Blood and EVEN Symphony of the Night, both with redone translations and voice acting. If you're a fan of the goofy voice acting from the original games though, I dunno how you're gonna feel about the new ones, they're genuinely good performances though.

PPSSPP is a really good emulator and the compatibility is improving all the time. I can recommend it. Keep in mind it is still young though and you will encounter graphical issues in some games. If you softmod your PSP you can easily rip your UMD's to play on PC. E: Check out this thread to learn how to do that: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3391974

There are a ton of ports of PSX/GBA/DS RPGs on the PSP, some of dubious quality. If you're into JRPGs/strategy I would strongly recommend the Lunar remake on it as well as Tactics Ogre. Anything by Sting is genuinely interesting because they're great at coming up with new systems for their games that evoke the oldest of old school RPGs while not being tedious, though the super childish art style can be a turn off. Still though I'd check out Yggdra Union and Gugnir. Knights in the Knightmare though is a great game but it was 100% designed with the DS in mind and the PSP version suffers heavily for this. Also if you want to try imports, please please please please please pick up Grand Knights History: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gYD7xm2hy8 Finally, if you're into shmups Konami put out some fantastic compilations. The Gradius collection got a US release but there's a Salamander one too that is very comprehensive as well, I also believe it's the only way to buy Xexex. Both of these are pretty cheap.

For PSP games, I gotta come right out and say Ys Seven, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Ys 1 and 2 Chronicles, and Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. All fantastic games, with the Ys games being very fast-paced action RPGs (that are however, short, except in the case of Ys Seven, which clocks in at nearly 20-25 hours), and Trails in the Sky being a very long classic turn-based JRPG. Fantastic graphics, writing (which you can thank XSEED for), gameplay and music, it's hard to beat them. Also, for dungeon crawling fanatics, there's Class of Heroes 1 and 2, Elminage Original (which actually got patched to fix a lot of the issues that were in there at launch), and Unchained Blades. I've only played Class of Heroes, which has a dizzying amount of race/class combos as well as lots and lots and lots of content to discover. The only issue is that it is HARD. Don't expect a cakewalk from it - they're built more like the classic Wizardry games than more modern dungeon crawlers. Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony is actually a competent Diablo clone that's worth a shot, considering it's on a handheld, unlike the two Untold Legends games, which are just utter poo poo and should be avoided at all costs. If you're a Persona fan, there's Persona 1, Innocent Sin and 3 Portable, which each offer up a lot of content - just be prepared to handle a really clunky and dated dungeon crawler if you dive into Persona 1.

Oh yeah ANY game developed by Falcom on the PSP, Ys, Gurumin, Legend of Heroes, is a must own. Persona 1 is dated but I always found it pretty fast compared to other Wizardry clones. Though oddly I like the original soundtrack more than the rearrangement they did for this PSP release. There's also two sequels to Intelligent Qube on the PSP, the polarizing Portable Ops, and a bunch of other collections of stuff like Power Stone 1 and 2 on one UMD, all kinds of odd releases worth checking out that will probably never be on another system.

Neo Rasa posted:the polarizing Portable Ops If you do end up checking out Portable Ops, make sure to spring for Portable Ops Plus, it's the same game but with more features/enhancements, and without any of the story missions at all (this sounds like a bad thing for a metal gear game, but even metal gear fans will tell you that portable ops' story was dreadful) in favor of more missions. It's still pretty entertaining if you've drained Peace Walker of all its missions.

Dissidia and Dissidia: Duodecim are 3D arena Final Fantasy fighting games. Because the developers knew their audience, they have a pretty hefty single-player campaign. The second game actually contains the entirety of the first, so there's no real reason to get the first one. Any of the NIS games on the platform are worth playing. Disgaea 1 and 2 are pretty hefty strategy games, and Zettai Hero Project is a criminally underrated roguelike. Half-Minute Hero is a charming JRPG parody. I think the first game is much better than the sequel, for what it's worth. If you like giant robots, there are a fair amount of Super Robot Wars games on the PSP. None of them have been translated, but the mechanics are fairly easy to figure out with a wiki. There's a thread for that series here. If you prefer robot combat a little more direct, the Gundam Battle Series is pretty good for that. If you can acquire them, I actually prefer Macross Ace/Ultimate Frontier to those, but those may be a little obscure. Patapon is a fun little rhythm game/strategy mashup. Personally I felt that 2 was better than 3, but opinions may vary on this. Loco Roco is the cutest thing ever. If I have more time, maybe I'll do a proper writeup on some of these later.

Let me shill about my favorite hidden PSP gem, Rengoku 2. The first one's alright too, but it was kinda barebones. But Rengoku 2, oh man. It's basically like this: You're some sort of robot thing in some sort of weird techno tower. The plot is vague and confusing until later on, and it's still kind of not terribly good. The environments are a little bland, graphics are alright. Music is... Odd. It's kind of a combination of techno and some really pretty alright metal. Not sounding too great so far, right? Well here's the thing. Every random duder you kill has a chance to drop a part, like a gun or a sword or a chainsaw. You can equip these onto five slots on your character, but there is very few equipment that is specifically armor or anything like that. So what do you equip to your head and such? Why, those very same items, of course! The thing that makes Rengoku super unique is that your characters nature as a weird nanomachine robot thing allows you to equip items in very odd ways. Equip a chainsaw on your head, and your entire head becomes a chainsaw-like machine, so you can headbutt things with a chainsaw! Or equip a gun there and shoot at things with your newfound magnum head. The art design on your character model is amazing and easily makes up for the bland environments, so your monstrosity of a character looks cool as hell. Your weapons all more or less combo seamlessly into each other and there's a large variety of cool gear to obtain, including the Zero Shift. Yes, the one from Zone of the Enders. It does what it does there. The basic gameplay is a little samey, but still decently entertaining as you try to go through the floors conserving your HP and overkilling enemies for better chances at getting gear. Occasionally you'll fight a boss that requires you to somewhat fine-tune your strategy to them. There's some other minor mechanics like upgrading your base statistic and such. Oh, and after you beat the main game, you unlock the REAL meat of the stuff, which is the roguelike-ish mode. Totally randomized floor layouts, totally randomized loot drops, 100 floors to climb to get the real end (You get checkpoints every 33). It's just kind of a blast to play and see what new crazy combos you can make up. I don't know if it's even POSSIBLE to find this game anymore, but it's probably the most treasured game in my PSP library. tl;dr: You're a robot in some mysterious tower. Kill poo poo, steal their guns, use them to give yourself a gun head to shoot other dudes.

I find that for a lot of SNES style PSP games, enabling the Scanlines (CRT)post processing filter makes the game look even better. But that might be my rose-coloured glasses speaking. For example, I'm currently playing Astonishia Story and it looks really good with it enabled. Don't have access to the emulator at this moment, but I'll get a screenshot later today.

I've always had a soft spot for Metal Gear Ac!d and Ac!d 2. Metal Gear is a stealth game series. Ac!d is a stealth strategy game. A stealth strategy card game. In between missions you build a deck of cards, and have many factors to think about, such as the ability to draw cards, movement cards, cards with effects and of course cards that kill. It plays a lot like a Strategy RPG such as Final Fantasy Tactics. If the game sounds strange so far, wait until you hear anything regarding the story... Needless to say, these games are both non-canon and do not need any more prior information than Solid Snake is a badass who the United States tend to lean on for every major threat.

Anyone who's a fan of SRPGs, particularly Final Fantasy Tactics, owes it to themselves to check out the Tactics Ogre remake on PSP. Unlike the FFT port, which just had a new script and a few extra missions and classes, Tactics Ogre gets a whole facelift with redone art and music by the guys who worked on the game originally, as well as numerous gameplays additions and improvements

You caused me to go take a look at this whole PPSSPP thing (I never bothered before because I have a PSP, afterall) and man, someone somewhere made a deal with the devil to get this thing working as well as it does. Anyways, I grabbed a screenshot of what you might expect your character to look like after the first floor in Rengoku 2, just for fun. Feel free to use it if you want.

PPSSPP is one of the nicest surprises in emulation in years. It just kinda came out of nowhere and not only emulates almost every PSP game perfectly, but goes beyond that and offers smoother framerates, better controls and much higher resolution graphics. The interface is really slick, too. As for recommendations, I'm going to second the Metal Gear Acid games, especially MGA2. The first one was kinda rough, but the second was one of my favourite games on the PSP. You'd not think that Metal Gear could work as a tactical board-game/CCG hybrid, but you'd be wrong. Wipeout Pure is a nice showcase for what the emulator can do. It runs at 60fps solid - it's like an instant HD remake. Echoing the recommendation for Rengoku 2. It's surprisingly fun, and it opens up a lot more after you beat the main dungeon. The story starts making sense at that point, and a roguelike random dungeon becomes available.

Tiny screenshots seem to be missing the point of PPSSPP. Here's some full HD Zettai Hero Project: (Click the numbers to enlarge your party member) I love emulators like this. You can really feel them removing the shackles of outdated hardware and really letting some games stretch their legs. The worst thing about the PSP was the hardware itself. Limited battery life, low-res screen, CPU underclocked to compensate for the drain of the UMD drive and wonky controls. It had a ton of great games, and now they've transcended the console itself. And here's some 1080p Draculax. Probably the ugliest location in the game, but drat, you can see all the details on Richter's suit.

Neo Rasa posted:Also if you want to try imports, please please please please please pick up Grand Knights History: It's almost criminal that Grand Knights History got its localization cancelled, while Dragon Crown survived. Added Orgia Carnival's solid writeup to the list (with DW's pic), and linking to this post from the games list because I realized the following writeup was a bit long: Alongside remakes of Megaman, Megaman X, ports of Darkstalkers and Street Fighter, as well as the Classics Collection, Capcom also released Ultimate Ghosts & Goblins to the PSP. Unlike the other releases, however, UG&G was not as warmly recieved; chief among the reasons that this remake introduced side-quests, hidden areas, spells to juggle, and skills you learn as you progress (such as the Double Jump, which you don't recieve until the end of the first stage.), which while benign in concept, slows the once-brisk arcade game significantly (but still pretty fun, in my opinion!). However, in Japan the game recieved a second release as Goku Makai-Mura Kai, which introduces the sidequest equipment into the normal game, and cuts down on the slower elements of the original, and even offers the original alongside this remix on launch. Having never been released outside of japan Kai is, obviously, in japanese, but due to the arcadey nature of the game it's not too difficult for an english speaker to play it. If you can handle not understanding every nuance of the complex story of Knight vs. Demons, then this is the version to pick up. Graphics-wise the game looks phenomenal; the art style very heavily sticks to the original arcade-game, and all the models scale wonderfully when emulated, and the few 2D elements scale very well.

I'm not sure on how the rules view this, but can anyone help me figure out how to take the files off UMDs and onto a computer? I own twenty eight PSP games that I can no longer play due to my PSP being stolen and sold by my brother, and I'd be super happy to be able to play at least some of them. Specifically I own Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness and Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days, and never got around to playing or beating either of those, because I didn't often play portable games. If it's against the rules to link to that kind of thing that's fine though. KittyEmpress fucked around with this message at 01:44 on May 8, 2014 |

Pretty much every method for getting UMDs onto your computer involves either a PSP or  , as there is no UMD drive for computers and the spindle is too small for DVD drives. PSPs are cheap, if you can find them, and thanks to 6.60 Pro-C (fix 3) every last one can be hacked. (Pro-C2 breaks PS1 compatibility; gently caress that.)In any case, you'd pull the entire ISO off of it - and you'd do it with PSP Filer; I don't know if any dedicated homebrew ripper leaves the UMD's final sector intact, and as far as I know the CFW built-in rippers still drop it. Also figure out why your brother stole your PSP and hold an intervention or something before he goes and does something irreversible. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 01:51 on May 8, 2014 |

Another niche PSP game that owns: Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War  Part of that real tiny niche of "Make a dungeon" games, have a great time figuring out the arcane formulas this game has locked away to get monsters to inhabit your dungeon so you can be recognized as the Übersperg that your main character aspires to be. Get an anime girl sidekick and a pet that transforms into a maid! (seriously though the game is pretty rad, and is basically impossible to find) There's basically something for everybody imaginable on the PSP, and if you're willing to stretch out into japanese games the possibilities expand beyond comprehension.

Everyone who likes SRPG's should try, what is in my opinion, the best SRPG on the market to date: Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together Tactics Ogre: LUCT is a remake of the original Tactics Ogre released for the Super Nintendo in 1995. It went from this:  To this:  The entire script has been rewritten for the remake, as the original localisation was not so good. Worthwhile Features: Time Sink; This game has so many features and side quests in the game, it will take you at least 200 hours to dent. The final dungeon has over 100 floors! Choose Your Own Adventure; There are many choices to make that alter the story significantly. Expect 3-5 full playthroughs to be able to get the main bulk of the story. Highly Customisable; There are 32 classes, NOT including monster classes, which all have their unique skill sets. There is also a ridiculous amount of weapon and equipment types to suit every thinkable need. Excellent Storyline; The main storyline in this game is filled with plenty of intrigue and moral quandary. There is never a dull moment and there are many endings. Without a doubt the best storyline I've come across in an SRPG. I just really can't recommend this game enough for SRPG fans. Do yourself a favour and give it a go.

And on that note, the advantage of playing it on PPSSPP is that you can use the zoomed out camera mode and not lose a single bit of detail. The only real question is whether you filter your sprites or not. Filtered:  Unfiltered:  The difference isn't visible unless you zoom in. Now, I know anti-aliasing your pixel art is considered a faux-pas at best, and blasphemy at worst around here, but I honestly think this emulators implementation looks great. Both options look pretty nice here, I reckon.

That'd be the Hybrid + Bicubic upscale type, 2x level, same as I used in that ZHP screenshot above. It works nicest with Nearest Neighbour texture filtering, but that does mess up some effects in some games. Thankfully it also protects the sprites against blurring if you're using Linear filtering, too. Also, a general recommendation for Zettai Hero Project, aka ZHP. It's Disgaea as a roguelike. It's funny, silly and very dorky. Mostly story-driven, with your base character stats carrying over between dungeons, even if you level and gear doesn't.

I should play it again... there was a sequel that was sadly never translated. In case this doesn't make sense Bancho is Japanese for hoodlum, and the game involves going on a school trip and fighting delinquents from around Japan.

Brasseye posted:there was a sequel that was sadly never translated. This seems to be a recurring theme with the PSP. So many cool games that never escaped Japan. Hell, Square even released a high-budget, high-profile Final Fantasy game (Type Zero) on the system and never localized it. Thankfully there's a fan-translation coming out, but a lot of PSP games will likely never get an English release. I'd like to play R-Type Tactics 2 in english some day. Word is that it has a really depressing plot.

So I'm trying to get Gundam Battle Universe to run on my Nexus 7, I have the game playing but it slows down to about 60% speed when in the actual gameplay. Any tips on making it run better? Also I'm running it without any extra bells and whistles, just rendering g at 1:1 red stretched.

The PPSSPP forums tend to have tons of little tips and options for optimum performance. I got the macross game from 10 FPS to 60 with no real loss in the graphics department. Just look for the thread for whatever game you're having trouble with.

I haven't try this out yet, but is there a way to import my save from PSP to emulator? I hope it's just simple copy and paste.

Pretty much. Just treat the memstick folder in the same place as the PPSSPP app itself as another memory stick (or in more technical terms ./memstick/PSP/SAVEDATA/).
