Good Performance even on old Hardware. Many QoL features(save states, game speedup button..), More than enough Graphics Options. Overall an Amazing app. A small nitpick: Would love to have a dynamic analog stick (one where the stick appears and registers input even if u don't press at its exact location on the screen)

It is the best PSP emulator but the major issue is that Compatibility issue are huge other than having no instruction or default setting to play multiplayer games, I had followed all the tutorials possible to set it up for multiplayer but to no avail and this greatly upsets me since I have always wanted to play with others like when PSP was a thing but so far I have met with only disappointement. It is still the best PSP emulator that is undeniable just on the solo parts.

I'm going to be honest. This is an awesome emulator. It's great, but it's not perfect. The reason? While I'm playing my games during the first level, the emulator itself crashes. It's been happening constantly! If you could fix this issue, I'd really appreciate it. This emulator is fantastic, but the constant crashes during the first level, are killing the experience. Thanks, Alex.

It's One of the best Emulator ever created. Keeps me busy and reminds me of the Good old days. But I have a little, only but this one problem..after I finished playing a match and I want to proceed to the menu it will hang. Especially important matches like rival teams and cup finals, even champions league final. Most times I have to skip that particular match in other to continue playing having simulated results. I always have a fear after finishing each match. Especially PES2018

Two bugs: 1. Switching back to app often makes it crash. The whole phone freezes and requires a hard restart. This happens about twice a day. 2. Switching back to app also adds a black bar on the left which covers part of the screen. Toggling immersive mode on and off resolves the issue. Otherwise this is an excellent app.

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.

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.

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.
