About PPSSPP
PPSSPP is a PSP emulator for Android and other platforms. It is being developed at a rapid speed and compatibility is increasing quickly, but there are many games it doesn't run yet and it doesn't run fast on Android yet. No games are included with this download, you will have to dump your own PSP games and turn them into .ISO or .CSO files, or simply play free homebrew games, which are available online. * PSP is a trademark of Sony, Inc.
