Windows System Requirements for the PlayStation Emulator

Any modern machine with a decent graphics card should have no problems with the emulator.

Unless you have an old computer, you should be able to run the emulator. If your system barely runs Windows XP, and/or does not meet the minimum requirements outlined below, you should not attempt to run the PSP Emulator. At best, it won't work. At worst, it could overheat your system, damaging components, and potentially costing you money.

Was this helpful? Yes | No| I need help

These are the minimum specifications to run the PPSSPP Emulator (higher specifications means your system will run the PSP Emulator better):

  • Processor: Any Dual-Core CPU, or a Single-Core CPU of at least 2.0GHz
  • Memory: 2GB RAM (more is better)
  • Hard Drive: 5GB minimum free disk space (for application and ROM storage)
    • The more games you have, the more Hard Drive space you will need
  • Video: 256MB Stand Alone Graphics Card (note that some built-in GPUs may work too)
  • Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

To find out your system's properties:

  • Press the Start button.
  • Right-click on "Computer."
  • Select "Properties."

Software Requirements for Running the PSP Emulator

You might need a few extra programs to install PPSSPP.

Depending on your system and the version of Windows you are running, you may need some extra applications, drivers, or files to get your PPSSPP Emulator installed and working. Usually, it's best to do a quick check to see if you already have these programs before you start. This is especially true for those of you who might not always have the best internet connectivity.

A PlayStation Controller or an Adapter can make some games more fun to play.

Make sure you download the correct version for your computer. This is dependent on whether your version of the Windows Operating System is x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit). If you're not sure how to check this, it's covered in the Questions and Answers section of this guide.

How to Download and Install the PPSSPP Emulator

Here's how to install and play your first PlayStation game on your Windows PC.

This section is the main part of this guide. It walks you through every step of installing the PPSSPP PSP Emulator, including installing and playing your first game.

  • We've also made a Video Guide of this process. Just keep in mind that VisiHow is constantly being updated, and written instructions are usually more up to date than video.

For example, the steps below cover both the legacy build, and the newer self-installing builds in Version 0.9.8, which requires Visual Studio 2013.

Follow these steps to download and install the PPSSPP Emulator:

  1. 1
    If you haven't already done so, download and install a zip file extractor
    .
    We recommend 7-Zip, because it's a free open source application capable of extracting almost all other zip formats. We will use this application to extract the PPSSPP Emulator and to extract your first PSP Game ISO.
    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
  2. 2
    Check your Windows Operating System type to make sure you download the appropriate version of the PSP Emulator
    .
    To check, click 'Start', right-click 'Computer', then click 'Properties', and finally click 'System Type'.

    Note that we recommend always using the latest build, as linked above in Step 3.

    2. If you prefer to install it yourself onto your 64-bit (x64) operating system, you can download the x64 build here.
    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
  4. 4
    Alternatively, if you're using an older version, you can install it manually
    .
    Just make sure you're using the correct version for your Operating System. This is done by extracting the folder inside the zip file once you've downloaded it.

How to Upgrade your PSP Emulator to PPSSPP Gold

Why would I pay for something that's free?

PPSSPP Gold is almost exactly the same application as PPSSPP (without the gold), the only differences are the icon, and lifetime rights to download PPSSPP Gold on Windows. You also get a gold account on the site, and the ability to access Gold versions on other platforms in the future. Of course, the developers who code it didn't have to write the code for free, so if you have a few dollars to send their way, why not?

Was this helpful? Yes | No| I need help

Even though it isn't free, it's also not expensive. In fact, you can choose how much or how little you'd like to donate, starting from as little as $2, all the way up to $50. All you need is a PayPal account or a card that PayPal can process, and you can make a donation to the developers. Here is the current price list (note that this is subject to change):

How to insert game-pad on PSP emulator?

To use your game pad with a PSP emulator, plug it in to connect it to your PC, and it should work since the latest version of PPSSPP supports XInput and DInput devices.

  • Download FuSa Game-pad and run it to open the installer, which will have instructions on what to do as well.
  • Browse for the destination folder of your PSP, then click Install.
  • After it's done installing, and while your PSP is connected to the computer, open the Game folder on your PSP, and then select Memory Stick. It will show you "Connecting" for a while, then it will say "Connected" when it connects to the PC.
  • Open your emulator, select Options, and then click on Plugins. In the controller's search for your PSP plugin, it could be under the name of PSP Type D, Joystick, or anything else (other than Controller, Keyboard, or Mouse).
  • Save the changes you made by clicking OK, and you will be able to set your PSP as a controller for the player you choose. Afterward, you will be able to configure it the way you want.

Make sure when you're backing up your original PSP games the file format you use is in ISO or CSO. The PPSSPP emulator will only read those formats.

To make backups of your games, your PSP must be running a custom firmware. Here's a tutorial on how to install the custom firmware as well as making ISO backups.

I am trying to play naruto heroes on my PC via PPSSPP emulator but only I can hear is audio. I cannot see the video please can you help me

Have you tried checking if your system meets the requirements for the emulator? You will need:

  • PC with a single core CPU of at least 2.0GHz or higher
  • 256MB graphic card or higher (It may work on a built-in GPU)
  • 2 GB RAM or higher

If you meet the requirements above then the problem might be with in the game. The file you downloaded may be corrupted or incomplete. Try playing on a different computer. If it still doesn't work, it's not an issue with your system. Also, try to update your Drivers such as VGA and AUDIO. You can try to go to settings or configuration menu and look for the video rendering option and change the settings there. Now, you can also try to upgrade your video drivers and install the latest DXdiag run time.

How to connect in multiplayer mode through wireless LAN in dragon ball z shin bodukai?

I'm using a PSP Emulator from my Android phone.it doesn't connect to network battle mode even I keep my WiFi on [Grimm: I don't understand the 2nd part enough to be able to edit it properly!]

Unfortunately, the PSP emulator does not support WLAN function at the moment. The PPSSPP emulator only supports Ad hoc connections that means your co-players must be in a close range.

In order to connect it, you must actually create an ad hoc server using your server. Now, after setting up the Ad hoc network, connect your PSP to that connection but you must first enable CWM in your PSP. This process is quite complicated. But if you really wish to try, there are things you need to create. Ad hoc server, enable CWM to clock work mode in your PSP and set the IP on both of your computer and PSP and then connect it.

How to put a Game on PPSSPP On PC

There are two ways you can get the games from your PSP collection to your PC. If you own the digital downloads of your PSP games, simply copy the eboot.pbp file over from PSP to PC.

The other way will involve installing a custom firmware on your PSP. Check out the video here on how to do this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk49zSDlT0E

Once you have this done, you'll need to extract the PSP game to your PC.

  • Insert the game disc into your PSP and connect the PSP to your PC with the USB cable.
  • At the menu, select "UMD as USB device" and choose "USB Connection" in the settings.
  • On your PC, a folder will pop up with a virtual ISO file. Just drag this file to your C drive and the copy process will start.

Can't play demos because of error loading file?

Every time I try to load a demo on PPSSPP v0.9.6.02 I get error loading file: failed to load executable: missing key how do I fix this problem?

It appears that demos do not work well on PSP emulators. If you have the proper PSP emulator version and all is working properly other than the demo, try using a normal full game ROM. You can find them here http://www.emuparadise.me/Sony_Playstation_Portable_ISOs/44

I tried to go to the website to download the PPSSPP emulator but I can't download the installer. What can I do?

Try using a different browser like Firefox, Opera, or Internet Explorer. If you are still having trouble, you can try downloading the install file from a different computer, onto a Thumb Drive (USB). That way you will be able to transfer the file to the computer where you want it.

I have a Windows XP computer, how to install and how to run games?

[DELETE? Seems unnecessary, it's repeating the main article. I edited it anyway just in case]

Before you begin the installation process, make sure that your computer meets the minimum requirements for the program to install and run properly on your Windows XP computer:

CPU with at least a 2.0GHz or even higher Graphics card of 256MB or higher RAM of 2GB or Higher At least 500MB for the program or higher for your games

If your computer meets the requirements, follow these steps:

  • Visit http://www.ppsspp.org/downloads.html and download the program to the folder of your choices on your computer.
  • If the file is in a .rar or .zip folder, right click on it and choose "extract here" (or select the destination you want). You will need an unzipping program like 7-Zip or WinRAR to do this. You can get WinRAR free at this link: http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0
  • Look for the PPSSPP folder and open it. Double click on the PPSSPPWindows for 32bit, and PPSSPPWindows64 for 64bit (you can check which one you are running by right clicking on "My Computer" and selecting "Properties").
Was this helpful? Yes | No| I need help

Now all you need to do is set a directory where the emulator can find your games. Download some ROMs and put them into one folder. Once you set the directory to this folder, the program will automatically scan it for new games and add them to the games tab.

Was this helpful? Yes | No| I need help

To set a directory, simply click on the Games tab, choose Browse, and look for the folder where you placed your games.

When I open PPSSPP it gives an error that current driver doesn't support opengl 2.0

If you get this error, it may mean you need to get a new video card. Your current video card may simply not be current enough to run PPSSPP.

You can also try updating your drivers, though this is not guaranteed to fix the issue. To do this:

  • Click on Start, then Control Panel.
  • Select Device Manager.
  • Click on Display Adapters.
  • Right click on the video card listed and select "Update Driver Software."
  • Choose to search automatically for driver updates.
  • Restart your computer when the process is finished.
