The wave of emulation software on the App Store continues, since Apple has fundamentally liberalized this type of app within its online store: the new entry of these hours is PPSSPPa PSP emulator which can be downloaded free in iOS version.
The program in question is known to those who frequent the emulation field, having already been in circulation for about 12 years, but installation on mobile devices was previously quite complicated, while now it is enough to download the application at this address and launch it to run on any iOS device.
“Thanks to Apple for relaxing their policies, allowing retro console emulators on their store,” he wrote about it Henrik Rydgardthe author of the software in question, evidently satisfied with being able to spread his creation further to a wider audience.
Free and Gold version
In fact, there is also a commercial strategy behind it: although the basic software is free, there is a “Gold” version distributed for a fee, at a price of 5 dollars, with additional features.
The specifications of this version have yet to be fully worked out, but it is likely that they will take advantage of some presets and advanced settings in order to make the use of the software easier and compatibility with PSP titles more complete, awaiting further news.
At this time, PPSSPP does not support iPad’s Magic Keyboard or Retro Achievements, but these features will be introduced in upcoming updates. The original version of the emulator also uses the Just-in-Time compiler which optimizes the code to make the use of games smoother and faster, but this is not possible in the iOS version, however, as the author claims, Apple devices are generally powerful enough to have no problems running PSP games.
Since Apple changed the App Store guidelines allowing the arrival of emulators, within a few weeks we have seen several arrive such as Gamma, Delta, GEKKO C64 and others.
