User Reviews

PPSSPP on iOS is praised for strong control customization, external controller support, and generally solid PSP performance with an ad-free UX. However, updates have frequently disabled multi-touch input, leading to gameplay restrictions, and introduced stability issues such as crashes and glitches, plus loading errors for certain titles. Overall, the core experience is strong, but reliability during updates remains a common concern.

Pros

Excellent on-screen control customization and button layout for PSP-style play.
Ability to connect a physical joystick/controller for a more authentic PSP experience.
Runs many PSP titles smoothly with solid performance.
Ad-free experience with minimal intrusive prompts during use.

Cons

Recent updates remove multi-touch input, preventing pressing two on-screen buttons at once.
Occasional stability issues, including random crashes and video/audio glitches.
Some games fail to load after updates or show 'game not found' errors.

can not figure out how to get to the game downloads

Okay the version update fixed the glaring defects. Question: How did such an obvious outrageous flaw as simulated buttons not able to be used simultaneously ever get out the door in any version? Is it just sloppy ineptitude? And why would several tested CSO files play just fine while one exhibited major video/audio glitching only to then play fine as with the others after an update? ----- then some issues. Only tried simple classic arcade games so far and on the first: Atari Classics Evolved, all play well except several prompt for screen to rotate to landscape. The big problem is no matter what screen settings selected, the controls do not allow play of these games without looking at them sideways whether in portrait or landscape. Another example: Namco Museum is full of audio and video gliching and crashes. If the file is a straight CSO clone what besides this emulator would cause that? And for that matter why, since it is simply converting all the same data to iOS? The big untenable problem is you can't hit more than one on screen button at once. This simply cannot be the case as it would render the app utterly useless if so. There does not seem to be a setting though, and why wouldn't it be defaulted to multi touch?! What games don't need that?
