PPSSPP Gold - PSP emulator

The same amazing emulator just like the original so I purchased the Gold version to support the developers who made PPSSPP Gold.

I've never been a big gamer but back in the day I'd play some PSP games. PPSSPP allows me to revisit those game right on my iPhone. Good fun, excellent app.

So I had downloaded the original version first and decided "you know what I'll support the dev?" BIG MISTAKE: For any of you out there, considering doing this, just consider the fact that you're going to have to add all of the games that you downloaded on the free version to the gold version!!!!! Oh my God!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Awesome app otherwise!

But ever since the most recent update on the swipe to left gesture being disabled now shows that blurred bar on the bottom when I play games using an external controller which is quite annoying. Would love an option to enable that back or have a dedicated on/off toggle for it. I didn’t see any performance difference since the description did say it reduced touch screen performance. Nonetheless, I’m still giving it 5 stars because it’s a fantastic PSP emulator.

I was a nintendo kid so the only hand helds i had were the GBA and the DS family of portalbles, so it’s nice to beable to play all sorts of games i never had the chance to when i was younger. Though i have found a few issues, in a few games like patapon the key board doesn’t pop up or give the ability to chose a name. And in every game i tried whenever i try to make a save state the app crashes

Wanted to support the dev(s) with this awesome “retro” emulator so I got the paid one. Only problem is ‘Save State’ does not work, anytime I try to save my GoW progress the app force closes and I have to restart my whole progression. Please fix

Finally the PPSSPP is back on iOS without the need of jailbreaking your device (if that’s even still a thing). Wanted to show my support by buying the gold edition considering I had a few bucks to spend. There’s a few bugs here and there where the app force closes, unsure if that’s cause of the games downloaded or if it’s the actual app. I also have battery percentage enabled but it doesn’t show my battery life. These are really the only complaints.

On other devices like my Steamdeck this emulator had a 60fps option that could be applied to any game you play. This version did not have a way to do that “out of the box.” I was able to find some code online and enter it into the emulator as a cheat to force 60fps and it works great. Aside from that work around this emulator works like a dream on IPad and is still 5 stars!

My first handheld I could buy with my own money was the original fat PSP. I’m getting high on the nostalgia this brings me! Also thank you to the developers that brought this to iOS I will gladly pay to support projects like these.

Simply amazing quality and emulation which is totally worth supporting the dev, also allows me to stay away from the regular App Store garbage mobile apps.
