I wanna get into non Nintendo stuff. What are some good PSP games in generals.
Pretty open to genres
Mainly action games, also open to RPG games and shooter games
Any genre really
Maybe not your speed genre-wise, but Final Fantasy Tactics has a version for the PSP. Goated game.
Jeanne D’Arc and the PSP’s Twisted Metal were damn good.
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, which is a nice 3D remake of one of the better classic vanias, Rondo of Blood. An updated version of Symphony of the Night is an unlockable in the game (as well as the original Rondo) so this is a great way to experience both games if you haven’t already.
I hope I don’t derail the thread, but I feel like this is an opportunity to ask about a couple of games myself:
How are the two PSP Valkyria Chronicles games and do they perform well on PPSSPP? Preferably Android (Snapdragon 670, Adreno 615, if that helps), but PC is fine as well.
I really enjoyed the first on PC and bought IV ages ago, but I haven’t played it because I kind of want to play the others first (which were never ported to PC or any other console for whatever reason).
From what I understand, all the games are more or less self-contained, so I can play IV without missing much but I’d really like to give II and III a shot if I can.
Was actually gonna ask lol, what PSP emulators are good. The fdroid ppsspp is from 2015
Lol, I saw the same thing when I hopped onto F-Droid.
I think the better options there are probably RetroArch or Lemuroid, which seem to be better maintained and can both use PPSSPP as the backend (though I think you need to add the libretro core for the emulator in RetroArch).
Hopefully their versions of PPSSPP are more up to date, but I’m not certain.
Edit: Actually best option seems to be the official site where they have a standalone APK, so you don’t need to use Google Play (also, there’s no difference between the “Gold” and regular version, it’s just an option if you’d like to donate).
Coded Arms and its sequel are surprisingly competent shooters on psp. Highly recommend.
