PPSSPP is an emulator for Sony´s first handheld console, the PSP (PlayStation Portable), that is capable of playing the majority games on your laptop or desktop computer, including the increase in resolution that this brings with it.

The first thing that grabs your attention in PPSSPP, developed by one of the creators of Dolphin (the most powerful Gamecube and Wii emulator), is the sheer number of configuration options available. For the graphics, for example, you can activate Vsync, and control the filters among other things.

And if the plethora of configuration options were not enough, PPSSPP also comes with every conceivable option for configuring the controls. You will not need to use Joy2Key or anything like that, because the emulator comes with its own intuitive tool that takes care of everything.

The list of games compatible with PPSSPP is also impressive: Disgaea, Patapon, Soul Calibur, Little Big Planet, Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and GTA: Vice City Stories are just some of the titles and sagas you can play on your PC with this emulator.

PPSSPP is a great way to enjoy much of PSP´s back catalogue. And the best part is that not only can you easily play all the games mentioned above, but you also get better quality graphics than in the original console version.
