PPSSPP Gold - PSP emulator

Our take

This isn’t flashy, it’s infrastructure. Henrik Rydgård’s emulator has been the reference build for years and the paid tier is basically a tip jar with a few extras attached. Anyone intimidated by ISO/CSO file management should stick to the free version first.

About PPSSPP Gold - PSP emulator

Play PSP games on your Android device, at high definition with extra features!

PPSSPP is the best, original and only PSP emulator for Android. It runs a lot of games, but depending on the power of your device all may not run at full speed.

Buy this Gold version to support development. There is also a free version.

No games are included with this download. Dump your own real PSP games and turn them into .ISO or .CSO files, or simply play free homebrew games, which are available online. Put those in /PSP/GAME on your SD card / USB storage.

What we like

The definitive, most actively maintained PSP emulator on Android
Paid version directly funds ongoing development, not just a paywall
No bundled ROMs keeps it on the right side of the legal line

Watch out for

Performance still depends heavily on your device, so results vary a lot
Setup (dumping ISOs, folder structure) is a real barrier for non-technical users
