or get it directly from Google playstore from >>here.

How to Setup PPSSPP Emulator for Optimum Performance

Launch the PPSSPP Emulator application on your device. And tap on settings and you’ll first encounter with ‘Graphics’ settings.

Let’s configure it first as it plays most important settings and puts major impact on performance..

1. Rendering mode

If you’re having power device such as Moto G Turbo Edition or equivalent or even up, then select ‘Buffered rendering” or if you’re on low-end Android device then select “Skip buffer effect (non-buffered, faster) mode.

Keep Frame skipping off as it won’t help you to get good FPS. Make sure to set your settings as below settings:

2. Under Postprocessing shader we selected ‘FXAA Antialiasing‘. It slightly improves performance.

However for better game-play you could use Bloom as

well (must try). Another thing you must keep is Rendering resolution, keep it minimal for highest frames.

If you use great device such iPhone 5S or above, Samsung Galaxy S5, S6 or even Galaxy S7 then you could try higher resolution, 2X or 3X for better display but it will reduce the frames speed.

Set Your settings as below image.

3. Don’t forget to check Hardware transform, Software Skining and Vertex Cache. These three features help to run games more smoothly.

4. Anisotropic filtering, keep it off as does not make any difference in-game play. But we found that Keeping Texture filtering and Screen scaling filter to ‘Linear’ value, it makes little difference in over all game-play positively.

5. Hack Settings Under these settings we found only Time hack works in all. Also second option “ Disable alpha test (PowerVR speedup, artifacts)” works very well if you’re on PowerVR powered devices.

Since Moto G Turbo has been powered with Aderno 405, we had kept it un-checked and set Timer hack to works and it worked very well.

6. FPS counter let other settings unchecked as mentioned in images. For measurement, you could put FPS under Show FPS counter to check the Frame rate while playing games over it. It helps to measure the success of settings.

You could put your own settings to improve Frame rate by changing settings your own!

7. Sounds

Well for now, we keep sound off as sound keeps on cluttering all the time and it may act as issue while playing games on it.

You could own try and see if sound works for you or not, it depends on device.

So it might worth try to put check on sound and see if it works! Don’t forget to let us whether it worked for you or not!

8. Controls

Set the control as per your requirements. For better performance, just make sure to un-check “Haptice feedback (vibration)” as below:

9. Tools.

There is another options that tremendously improve the entire performance of PPSSPP Emulator, that is ‘Dynarec (JIT)’. Under tools – Developer tools- General,

you’ll see the ‘Dynarec (JIT)’.

Make sure to keep it checked, you’ll see great improvement in all games with this little option

10 . System

Here’s comes another major part of this PSP emulator. Here we can set internal settings for PPSSPP, how should it execute and run games.

Keep checked Fast memory (unstable) and I/O on thread.

Under I/O timing method, we kept ‘Host (bugs, less lag) and found to be working best with this handset.

But many users recommend to keep ‘Fast (lag on slow storage) for better performance. So in this case, you should try both of them and find which works best for you.

Just compare the FPS for the both settings, it is quite easy.
