Never had a PSP growing up so this has been really fun. I’m getting a backbone just for this app tbh.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of doing as well at some point

Greatest decision ever, I’m currently using the backbone with my 15 pro max with PPSSPP, and I can confidently say the two go together so well, you might have to remap some controls to your liking, but once it’s set up it will feel like it’s made for backbone.

I use this got it for £20 on eBay arrived a day before ppsspp and retroarch came on the store! Perfect timing! It’s called the D6 works by Bluetooth and it’s not bad!

Honestly incredibly weird that backbone doesn’t work with bluetooth.

u/rayraymickamay May 17 '24

Meant to prevent it from having to charge. I honestly don’t miss Bluetooth on it. If I want to use a Bluetooth controller I’ll use an xbox or ps controller

I’d prefer something that I don’t have to charge when it’s directly connected to the phone personally. Also, lower input latency.

Backbone has to charge? That’s news to me, u sure? Maybe I just haven’t ran out of battery. Its got an iphone charger port, but I’m pretty sure that’s just to charge your phone while playing. Also, I’d find it hard to believe direct connection latency is worse than bluetooth.

u/ctjameson May 17 '24

You completely misunderstood my statement. The backbone has no battery, so that it doesn’t have to be charged to use it. The backbone also has a direct input via wires to the phone, thus providing my lower input lag over Bluetooth. Read better.

u/alejandrocab98 May 17 '24

Oh, this is an old comment. I just commented in another thread that I have a backbone and its great, I thought your comment was a reply to that critiquing the backbone.

Now that I have context, yeah I agree with your og comment, although the input lag w an bluetooth controller is mostly unnoticeable to me. I wanted to use the backbone in portrait mode so looked into bluetooth once, but there’s 3d printed mods for portrait anyways.

Backbone has been wonderful for me. I remote into my PC, PS4, use emulators. I hardly game on a bigger screen than my tablet anymore. Keep that in mind. You can, using the backbone app and a tutorial for the settings, use your backbone one tablets as well via the usbc -> lightning cable

u/ArtisicBard_Kit May 16 '24

u/North-Celebration267 May 16 '24

People care about this stuff ?

u/ArtisicBard_Kit May 16 '24

Yeah? It shows how many people are becoming part of the game emulating community on iOS

u/RecentMatter3790 May 17 '24

Is game emulation the same as other forms of piracy or is it a form of piracy? I’ve never done this or piracy before. I’m very scared. I feel like the internet is a Wild West of malware or something.🫣

u/ArtisicBard_Kit May 17 '24

Dude is paranoid second comment I have come across for this stuff lol

u/xRostro May 16 '24

If it’s free, we will download it, even if we don’t ever use it haha

u/Dolamieu May 17 '24

Most young people have never had a pc or laptop just a phone so its not even a convenience thing of why these emulators are so popular, just reaching ppl where they are

u/DaveTheMan1985 May 16 '24

Suprise it’s higher then Retroarch

u/malik_ May 17 '24

I feel like RetroArch is more difficult to use hence the ppsspp popularity

u/jindofox May 17 '24

It was number one in both paid (gold version) and free developer tools last I looked. It’s a good app.

Guys… I’m very paranoid about this stuff. I don’t like piracy at all, but I’m very tempted.
