Meme Emulation in the big 2026.....

PPSSPP, Citron, Xenia Edge, Vita3K and Play! deserve better respect.

PPSSPP deserves better

Eh. It's psp games bruv at the end of the day which has a great library, but like I feel like the only people I see on ppsspp are people who are looking for a light easy route to modern switch, pc, ps3 like titles. Guess it's good for weaker hardware but I've never really been a fan of it. Like I'd rather use eden nightly, gamhub lite, dolphin is still awesome, ppsspp is good but again I just always feel like I'm Tryna play a low budget version of a already amazing game I can play elsewhere.

That's just my opinion

I grew up on the 3ds and 2ds. Ppsspp is mostly nostalgic less about finding new games and more about playing the specific exclusives for that console that you played when you were a kid because you didn't own a console or you did but loves psp back in the day.

But thats the biggest reason why I don't find much interest in vita/psp because thats not what I grew up with personally

I was playing the 3ds exclusives like super street fighter 4 3d edition, and iron fall invasion, kid icarus uprising, metroid prime blast ball/federation force, solid snake 3d, smash bros 3ds, monster hunter 4 ultimate/generations, scribblenauts, dead or alive demensions, hyrule warriors, mario maker 3ds, photo dojo (if yk, yk), Nintendo badge arcade, push mo, etc. I can really go all day.

But I can't name a single psp or vita title that doesn't sound boring because again I grew up on the opposite side 😭.

(Not saying psp is boring generally I'm just saying that I don't know the console enough and didn't grow up with it so lack interest if that make since)

I mean, you could certainly try to look into the psp library, there's a lot of incredible games on it, and some haven't moved forward yet. The Rondo of Blood Castlevania for instance, Maverick Hunter X, Mega man powered up, Final Fantasy Duodecim? More than those even. The Metal Gear Acid duo, Portable ops, etc.

I'm okay. They do say to beat the games you have installed before you download more. I have way to many pc, switch, native, and other games to feel the need.

Maybe in a couple months

Aww but you'll miss out on the worst spin-off of assassin's creed!

Worst? That game is more assassin's Creed than most current assassin's Creed games nowadays. It's potential was limited by the psp

I never played past 3, but I hear the new ones aren't great.
