PPSSPP (PSP Emulator) now available on Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch is growing as the console of choice for tinkerers and homebrew enthusiasts. Developer m4xw has released a port of PPSSPP, the most popular PSP emulator out there.
Initially only available to the developer’s Patrons on Patreon, the PSP emulator has now been released publicly.
Early reports indicate that the emulator is getting very reasonable framerates for a first release. The developer in particular has shared a few days ago that Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker is running pretty much at fullspeed, depending on the parameters used in the emulator.

I don’t own a switch but congrats to those of you that do! This is a fantastic emulator to have available!

I wish that the exploit for patched NX’s comes out sooner. Been dying to turn my switch into an emulation powerhouse.
Holy ***!!!!
Give it a year. It will become pretty much perfect judging by switch homebrew scene. These guys are on fire.
ive always confused people by playing mario on sony systems, now i can play little big planet on a nintendo platform :).
HAHAH, oh this will be good :D. I’ll need to see how well it works in docked mode (if at all, i havent tried yet when i run atmosphere)
The switch was the best buy in 2018. Very nice console.
so now I can finally play the psp on the go? Nice! 😀
