PPSSPP for Mac
PPSSPP can run your PSP games on your PC in full HD
resolution, and play them on Android too. It can even
upscale textures that would otherwise be too blurry as
they were made for the small screen of the original
PSP.
Key features include:
Play in HD resolution.
Support for big-screen mobile gaming.
Customize on-screen touch controls or use an
external controller or keyboard.
Save and restore game state anywhere, anytime.
Support for anisotropic filtering and texture
scaling.
Continue where you left off by transferring saves
from your real PSP.
PPSSPP is an great emulator for the Sony PlayStation
Portable console. The application supports loading the
ROMs of PSP games (ISO, CSO, PBP, ELF files).
Overall, PPSSPP is a very good PSP emulator. The
graphics are well structured and display a sound
likeness to the original format. The user interface is
simplistic and easy on the eyes. It must be said
though, the optimization settings and emulation
parameters are aimed at more expert gamers and not for
novice users.
*Please note you need to own an original copy of the
game you are emulating in order to use PPSSPP.
