I could have capped this list at 4 of the best PSP emulators because they all use PPSSPP, but it’s nice to show that other people are continually using PPSSPP’s open-source code to produce new and exciting programs.
Look, it’s not great, but it’s not bad either. Oh, and guess what the core is? That’s right the emulator so nice they included all the letters twice – PPSSPP! Say it with me It’s a pleasure to use and just works! There’s no need to mess around with settings just turn on, find your download, and defeat bad guys/win races/find treasure (delete as necessary reader!) It’s essentially a program that holds multiple emulators in the form of ‘cores’ that gives users access to multiple games from every system imaginable. It has ‘everything under one roof’, though in this case the roof is virtual. Like the fourth emulator in this list, RetroArch is like a shopping mall for retro gaming emulation. RetroArch works on every operating system and device, from MacOS to Linux and even jailbroken iPhones and iPads! We first covered this program while writing about the best N64 emulators for multi-platform use. It crops up in all of our lists because it’s a jack of all trades and works an absolute treat! RetroArch takes the third spot in our list of the best PSP emulators.
