5 best PSP emulators for Android
The Sony PSP is one of the longest tenured handheld gaming consoles ever. It enjoyed a seven year run with various new models coming out at regular intervals. It has a ton of games and Sony even ported some PlayStation games to the system for purchase. Now, you can play PSP games on your mobile phone or tablet. Here are the best PSP emulators for Android. Please note, we highly recommending at least attempting to purchase games before emulating them. Otherwise, it’s piracy.
Here are some more emulator lists you might like!
AwePSP is pretty simple as far as PSP emulators go. You start it up, select a game that you downloaded, and then you play the game. Like most in this genre, there are some compatibility and performance problems based on which game you're trying to play. Aside from that, it supports the basics such as save states, hardware controller support, and a range of file extensions for games. It's not as good as PPSSPP (and some even claim that this is a clone), but this is a good free option for those testing the waters.
Emulator PSP Pro is one of the newer PSP emulators. It borrows heavily from PPSSPP's source code. You wouldn't be wrong to call it a clone. However, this one does seem to work okay. It supports the basics, including save and load states, various configurations for compatibility, and more. The stability and compatibility is a little rough like most PSP emulators. This one is totally free to download and use, though. It does have some annoying ads, though.
We're calling our shot a bit with this one. Matsu Emulator doesn't actually support PSP, yet. It's currently under development. Matsu is a multi-platform emulator. It currently supports PSX, SNES, NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, SEGA MegaDrive, and a few others. It does all of those fairly well, actually. It's a good all-in-one solution. However, we'll have to wait a bit for PSP emulation as that is still a work in progress.
PPSSPP is by far the best of the PSP emulators. Of all the emulators we tested, PPSSPP was the easiest to use, had the best compatibility, and the best performance. We wouldn't blame you if you thought we were advertising here but we're really not. PPSSPP gets frequent updates, has a paid version that removes ads, and it's the one that most other developers copycat from. We highly recommend that you try this one first. The ad-supported free version works fine if you want to test it out. The $5.99 price removes ads. The app is also open-source.
RetroArch is one of the more unique PSP emulators. It can actually emulate a ton of different gaming systems. RetroArch uses the Libretro system. It essentially runs plugins that act as emulators. Thus, RetroArch can do anything from SNES to PSP as long as you have the required plugin. The emulator seems to work okay, but like most there are compatibility problems here and there. There is also a learning curve since the system is rather complex. Even so, it's a good one to try out and it's completely free and open source.
