If you’re a fan of portable gaming and have been craving to play some classic PlayStation Portable (PSP) titles on your smartphone or tablet, you’ve come to the right place. The famous PSP emulator, titled PPSSPP, has been released as v 1.0 for Android devices over at the Google Play Store, and brings almost all the goodness of its iOS counterpart to the mix.

Handheld gaming consoles are desperately trying to cling onto a market which smartphone and tablet devices are readily muscling away from them, and it’s also quite evident when we consider adoption rates. So how fitting, perhaps, that the first PSP emulator for iOS (jailbroken devices only), BlackBerry, Android, Windows and Linux should be a smooth, impressive experience which, besides a few to-be-expected frame rate issues, is surprisingly well put together. It’s named PPSSPP, and as you’ll see from the video below, its performance is exceptional for such an early build hardware emulator.
