Jan 25, 2018 So if you're wondering whether a 16 core device will help PPSSPP, just think about how much easier it'd be to hammer in a single nail if you had 16 arms. In practice, 2-4 cores is ideal. CPU Mhz: The higher, the better.

PPSSPP (an acronym for 'PlayStation Portable Simulator Suitable for Playing Portably') is a free and open-sourcePSPemulator for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, BlackBerry 10, and Symbian with an increased focus on speed and portability.[3] It was first released to the public on November 1, 2012, licensed under the GNU GPLv2 or later. The PPSSPP project was created by Henrik Rydgård, one of the co-founders of the Dolphin emulator.[4]

- Jan 24, 2017 “In August 2016, it was reported that Qualcomm would not update their Snapdragon 200, 208, 210, 212, 400, 410, 412, 600, 800 and 801 chipsets to support Android Nougat, leaving many devices unable to receive an official update.
Features and development[edit]
PPSSPP supports save states, dynamic recompilation (JIT) and has rudimentary support of ad hoc wireless networking. To decode PSP multimedia data PPSSPP uses the FFmpeg software library, which was enhanced to enable it to handle Sony's proprietary ATRAC3plus audio format as used by the PSP. PPSSPP offers graphical features that are enhancements over the PSP's capabilities, such as higher screen resolutions, antialiasing, image scaling, support for shaders, and linear and anisotropic filtering.
The ports of PPSSPP for mobile devices offer additional features specific to each platform, such as 'immersive mode' for Android devices, support of the multimedia buttons within Symbian devices and screen stretching on BlackBerry 10 devices to support square screens. All ports of PPSSPP for mobile devices support the use of accelerometers, keyboards and gamepads as input devices.
PPSSPP also supports the Vulkan API, which was added in v1.5.4 release and is intended to provide a substantial performance boost on supported devices.[5]
Portability[edit]
Since its inception, PPSSPP has had a focus on portability with support for multiple architectures and operating systems. While initially only supporting Microsoft Windows and Android, this quickly grew to include Blackberry 10, Symbian, macOS, Linux and later iOS.[6][7] The source code also unofficially supports a wide variety of operating systems and platforms, including Raspberry Pi, Loongson, Maemo, Meego Harmattan and Pandora.[8] There was at one stage a port for Xbox 360.[9] Although the port was abandoned, the support code remains, offering support for big-endian CPUs and DirectX compatible GPUs.
To aid with the portability two cross-platform development libraries, SDL and Qt, are able to be used in addition to the non-portable Blackberry, Android and Win32 interfaces.The Qt frontend was instrumental in adding support for platforms such as Symbian.[10] The Qt frontend is able to support all officially supported platforms and is the suggested alternative if no native interface exists.[11]
Compatibility[edit]
As of March 2017, 984 games are playable in PPSSPP, while 67 games load to some frame of in-game state. 4 games can only reach the main menu or introduction sequence.[12]

PPSSPP PC System Requirements
So, PPSSPP crash on you, the first thing you should ask yourself is “Is my PC good enough for PPSSPP?”
Their site is not very specific in terms of what exact minimal hardware you need to run this emulator, so I’ve been reading around their forums and i found a couple of interesting posts by the admin in which he explain what does PPSSPP really need to run, i’m gonna help you figure if you can run it or if you should throw your PC out of the window.

Software Requirements (Very Important):
Download and install these:
1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
2. DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer
3. Latest Graphic Drivers:
1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
2. DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer
3. Latest Graphic Drivers:
- Download drivers AMD (ex ATI)
- Download drivers Nvidia (GeForce)
Minimum Hardware Requirements:
Ppsspp Download Android
- CPU (Proccessor): a Dual core CPU x2 at 2.0Ghz.
- GPU (Graphic card): your GPU must support at least OpenGL 2.0
- RAM (Memory): 2 GB Ram
What do we actually have?
Now that we know what we need, we need to find out what we have:
CPU & Memory:
Go to Start -> Right Click Computer and go to Properties (fig 1), there you will see your CPU model and frequency and your total memory:
Results:
- 2 CPU @ 3.30Ghz each (minimum is 2.0Ghz)
- 8 GB of RAM (minimum is 2GB)
GPU (Graphic card):
There are many aspects that make a good graphic card, but we will focus on 1 that will basically tell us the age of your card, the lower this number is the older your Graphic card is (Old = Bad). We will use a program to tell us this value, download Doctor GL extract it and open it (Fig 2):
Results:
- OpenGL version 4.2.1 (Minimun 2.0)
Conclusion:
The most important aspect of all for PPSSPP is te Graphic card as a rule have in mind that:
- OpenGL less than 2.0: The emulator will not work
- OpenGL 2.0: The emulator will work but very slow, probably unusable.
- OpenGL 2.1: The emulator will work probably at a playable speed.
- OpenGL more than 2.1: The emulator will work much better, 4.4 being the best possible.
Ppsspp Games For Android
That’s all about it, i hope it helps clarify where your computer stand and if you need to upgrade it or not, if you are going to upgrade remember that:
Specs Needed For Ppsspp On Android Phone
- Desktop generally are much powerful than laptops (unless you buy a 5 thousand dollars laptop)
- You must buy a dedicated graphic card. (Integrated graphic cards are useless for gaming…APU’s do a bit better but still worse than a dedicated card)
