Back to the origin

At the beginning of times (or at least, in the first decade of the age of video games), there were many consoles with a wide variety to offer regarding play-styles, games, sounds and anything you name. Within that context, they did pretty well. However, even though some of them were pretty ground-breaking, none of those products managed to generate quite a revolution like the one that was about to come.

On December 3rd, 1994, Sony Interactive Entertainment launched the original PlayStation in Japan, which started a milestone in the universe of video games, eventually becoming the first console to sell 120 million units (and yes, that was quite a LOT!). It was no coincidence, though, as the games offered, the production behind everything, and the potential contained in there was amazing for that time, so that guided the later evolution into a portable machine known as PSP (the last P for portable).

It might be a tragic case where you have never heard of it, as things kept moving on and far ahead, further and further into this future with today's shiny and noisy (but still wonderful) technologies. But not even all of that light and sound would be able to mitigate the magical potential of the old and amazing PSP.

I know you are tempted by now. I can feel you there, longing to try this classic console. Well… What if I tell you that it is still not too late for you? Is there still a chance for you to rediscover what MAGIC is?

The working PSP emulator

The solution to your recently acquired obsession with the old is very easy to achieve and is labeled as PPSSPP. We are talking about an emulator, not just those out there. “PlayStation Portable Simulator Suitable for Playing Portably” is THE tool that will allow you to play most of the games for Sony's first portable console directly on your favorite Android device. And not only that, but this free and open-source emulator also works for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, BlackBerry 10, and Symbian with an increased focus on speed and portability

That being said, nobody will blame you if, from now on, you choose to live in the past while enjoying your free time. I mean, the power of modern Android devices allows easy emulation of previous console generations with quite good results. No wonder why we have seen a steady increase in the download volume of this type of app since they were released.

HD is the word

You will not only be in a position to play the original games but an upgraded version of them. PPSSPP can run your PSP games on your PC and Android devices in full-HD resolution. It can even upscale textures that would otherwise be too blurry (as they were made originally for a small screen), enhancing the whole experience.

Some other features will boost your anxiety here, as the tool also:

• Supports save states (restore game state anywhere, anytime!);
• Offers ad hoc wireless networking;
• Enhances PSP's capabilities (higher screen resolutions, support for shaders, linear and anisotropic filtering);
• Allows you to customize on-screen touch controls or use an external controller or keyboard;
• Lets you continue where you left off by transferring saves from your real PSP;
• It offers amazing gameplay, and it is really easy to understand;
• The list of compatible games is also impressive;

Magic and Kindness

There is no doubt the fact that PPSSPP is by far the best of the PSP emulators out there. Still reticent? If you try them all, I bet you will end up confirming that our friend here is the easiest one to use (much easier than it might seem at first glance) and that it has THE BEST compatibility and performance you will get.

In a nutshell, it is a magical emulator that is kindly bringing that super amazing experience of old into your life again with even enhancements. I mean, what is here not to appreciate about this emulator? Wait no more; embrace the past and download now!
