Damn, PPSSPP just gets better each time I pass by this thread, phenomenal.
I'm having a blast at Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX, runs perfectly and it's pretty much the best version to play with widescreen and extra characters.
Wait...This would mean I could use a stick for this game, right?
LOOOOOOOOOL!

I used a stick for Alpha 3 Max in the early days of remotejoy.
Also, since you can use Sixasis and Dualshock 3s on PSP Go, a pad-hacked arcade stick using those PCBs would work too, lol.

Not at the moment.
The music is fixed. There's still a glitch with the cursor sounds unfortunately. I haven't checked if the magic/ability sounds are fixed yet.
Heeeeeeeeeeey guys.
I'd appreciate some help.
The game that won't work is the homebrew software Rhythm 8. It's a music creation tool.
It loads up fine and you can hear the music as it starts but it sits on a black screen. I've tried all the rendering modes but nothing fixed it. I tried disabling stencil and that didn't fix it either.
I'm using the 64bit version of PPSSPP.
I've also tested the 32bit version and it still didn't work.
If someone could help me with this I would be really, really grateful because this is the one program I spend the most time with my PSP on.
Any help duders?

Just a minor heads up to the interested.
0.9.6 is coming out soon, hopefully by the middle of December prior to Christmas, when the dev team will probably be taking a break from the project until January next year.
A preliminary changelog is as follows (more to be added as we're hopefully resolving other issues):
Of course, none of the above features will be new to you if you're already on the latest bleeding edge buildbot builds available from Orphis.
Please be excited.

Really really excited for Ad Hoc online play. Monster Hunter PC aww yeahhh
Don't get your hopes up guys. I've been following that thread and that feature is very VERY preliminary at the moment! Baby steps at best, and won't be working the way you'd want it to for quite some time. Trust me, the thought of being able to play the PSP version of Ridge Racers over an online internet connection via PPSSPP has me EXTREMELY moist inside, but the reality is it's somewhat of a pipedream still, despite what the changelog might have you believe.
The Ad Hoc Support thread says that the following games work via Ad hoc:
- MHFU EU and US : locally
- MH3rd HD : 2 players max at the moment
- God Eater Burst
- Worms Open Warfare 2
- Fat Princess
- Tekken 6
Yeah but until Ridge Racers is on that list it's a moot point.

So is there a way to get games running at 60fps? Some, like Soul Calibur, run at that framerate, but others, such as Valkyria Chronicles, are locked at 30, no matter the graphics settings.
To the guy who works on PPSSPP and posts here:
Could we get full screen support for Android 4.4? Would be greatly appreciated. The aspect ratio is a little skewed on my Nexus 4 right now.
Also, Ridge Racer for example runs great, except the screen flashes black for a frame or two every once in a while. Is there a fix for this?
edit: The black screen problem was actually fixed in the most recent update!

Can someone check if Lumines works correctly now, in the Android version??

Full screen support was added for Android 4.4 KitKat at one point in one of the dev builds but was taken out due to currently unresolved issues with the feature. It will be added again in the future once those issues are resolved.
Just released 0.9.6, enjoy. More performance on Android and a bunch of bugs fixed.
Lumines works great. Choose 4-way D-pad mode in Controls option for improved touch screen gameplay (or use a controller...)
4.4 fullscreen didn't make it for this release, didn't work consistently for some reason and I haven't had time to tweak it. Also want to make it an option instead of enforcing it. So stay tuned.

Thanks. Will the missing character models in Jeanne d'Arc be fixed soon?

Any chance of white menus being fixed in the Kenka Bancho games?
Wow, you guys ask about the most obscure games. Had never heard of that one before, so I can't answer, sorry. It's likely that it'll get fixed as a side effect of fixing something else in the future.
Dark_Castle, we've mostly tracked down the Jeanne D'arc issue, it's a bit tricky but solvable. Expect a fix, but I can't say when.
MBison, it has touch screen control support on Android and other supported mobile platforms but currently not Windows. This may change in the future.
Thanks!

Just want to give thanks to the people who made this. I suffer from back and neck problems and playing on a portable is like putting me on a torture rack if I try and play longer than a few minutes. I can never get a comfortable, natural sitting/viewing position. This finally lets me play my PSP games on my TV in a comfy manner. I think Jeanne d'Arc is the only game I have that is not playable with this emulator but I am sure things will get straitened out. Great work here. This is like an evolution of emulators and the direction that I hope future emulators take in terms of UI and useability.

Thank you to the developers for this thing. Its freaking awesome. I just upgraded to the gold version; the least I could do for the work they've put in.
Also, if anyone has a Nexus 5 and wants a great experience, buy a GameKlip and snap in a PS3 controller. Fits perfectly (without a case), and its plug-and-play.

Guys, I have a couple of questions.
I don't have a PSP, I sold it once I bought a Vita and I don't really want to buy a new one for playing FF Type-0, Digimon Re
igitalize and Valkyria Chronicles 3 (which all seem to be about to release).
Does the emulator support those games? How well this thing runs in a Nexus 7 (2012)?

Status of the games in your question:-
FF Type-0 - Playable until the end. Absolutely gorgeous when uprendered.
Valkyria Chronicles 3 - I can personally vouch for this one, I'm still going through it on the emulator though.
Not so sure about Digimon since I don't have the game, but have a look at the PPSSPP Compatibility Database for your answer.
As for the Nexus 7 and PPSSPP, you could try searching through the forums for your answer, but generally speaking it should run fine in the latest dev builds since the emulator has been greatly optimized in recent weeks. Performance has never been better in general. Still runs best on the PC though, that goes without saying; any potato PC made in the past 5 years with some form of dedicated graphics card that supports OpenGL 2.0 will do just fine. We got folk with Pentium 4's, Atoms and low end AMD APUs running the emulator pretty well.
Welcome to the glorious age of HD PSP emulation.
Wow, those are really nice news
I've just checked the compatibility and it seems the Digimon game is playable too. I've been wondering a thing. Since I don't have a PSP anymore, could I use a Vita linked to JPN PSN, buy the digital copies and back them up with Content Manager in my computer. It'll be more confortable, maybe a little cheaper than importing the UMD. I have a decent laptop, so I guess I'll be able to run it. Thanks for everything!

It's stretched when run in "widescreen".
Was pleasantly surprised when I found out about the adhoc emulation and the possibility of online play. Cudos on that! I hope ector and the rest of the team behind this project continue to develop on the adhoc. There are some really great games, that are even better played with a friend (or foe ).
I have to find some time to dump MHP3rd UMD and copy the savefiles from my PSP, they should work with the emu, right?

Have fun. If you're feeling adventurous, don't forget that the latest, bleeding edge dev builds are located here.
It's way ahead of the newest official build (0.9.6), updated more frequently and contains fixes and features not available in the official release. It's also fully supported by devs for support; in fact, we recommend that you always go for the newest dev builds unless otherwise specified.
I tried the SVN build, its an incredibly polished and stable emulator and the SVN is even better, the sound is the biggest improvement. Unfortunately still having the screen-tear issue.
Is there any way of increasing the internal framerate in games, does increasing the CPU speed help?
ambientmystic

Screen-tearing can be further alleviated if the built in emulator's Vsync doesn't do it for you by forcing it in your Graphic Card Control Panel. This is of course dependant on your graphics card vendor (AMD/NVIDIA) or even your chosen platform (Windows/Android etc).
As for the internal framerate, the method for altering it is currently done on a game by game basis. Have a look at this thread in the ppsspp.org forums for further details. There isn't one unified method to magically make all games run internally at 60 FPS at the moment, unfortunately, and not every game is supported either.

Oh by the way, since others might still be interested (as seen in previous posts), the long standing issue of the missing characters in Jeanne D'arc has also been solved for quite a while now in the latest dev builds. Characters appear normally now in game.
Ohhhhh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
This is what i have been waiting for.
Shit. Tears in my eyes.

Did I buy a PSPGo for no reason? I got it for dualshock support but if this runs my games smoothly I may as well just play them from my PC. I can use saves from my PSP, right?
I'm intrigued: what kind of game is it? Action adventure? RPG? First Person Shooter? Racing game? Puzzler? Shmup? Sports game? Farming simulator?
