Adding to the Compatibility List
Choose a playability color that reflects a game's best playability state. Also include the clockspeed at which you ran it, for whichever Pandora version you tested. Please also indicate in the name of the Game whether the version is US/EU/JP, since compatibility may differ depending on regions. You may also add specific conditions you specified in the settings if they differ from the defaults. As for the SGC driver, please write 'default' if you did not change your driver vs what was in the firmware. These PPSSPP games are compatible with this emulator.
Don't post a redundant entry unless you are using a different Pandora model and the playability differs from an existing entry. If a game's playability gets worse (new bugs, new crashes) in a new PPSSPP version, update the entry and add that to notes.
| Playability | Description |
|---|---|
| Fullspeed | Games with a green background run at fullspeed and are fully playable from start to finish. If frameskip is required, add to notes. |
| Playable | Games with a yellow background run slower than fullspeed, but are otherwise fully playable. Add problems/slowdowns to notes. |
| Incomplete | Games with an orange background have playability issues and cannot be played from start to finish. This may include missing functionality (wifi) or game crashes. Add problems to notes. |
| Unplayable | Games with a red background are unplayable. They either don't run at all, or don't get past the intro. Add any other oddities to notes. |
| N/A | Games with a white background have not been fully tested. If you see one on this list, try it out and report back! |
If you are inclined, post your forum username at the end of your notes so you can be contacted by PtitSeb about further debugging your problems.

| Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (USA) | 1.5.4.53 | 1GHz | 4.10 | 1.76 | 1150 Mhz | Slightly slow in combat(15-20 fps). Audio can be sometimes stuttery. Using automatic frameskipping improves performance. | Yellow |
| Taiko no Tatsujin Portable 2 (JP) | 0.9.8.36 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Makes the emulator completely crash right after the first few screens. Back to desktop. | Red |
| Final Fantasy III (US) | 0.9.5.32 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.55 | 1000 Mhz | Fullspeed in most places except in villages where the game slows down a bit while remaining playable. | Green |

| Star Ocean: The Second Departure (US) | 0.9.6.34 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Fullspeed apparently at all times, with minor glitches on text boxes once in a while. | Green |
| Toradora Portable (JP) | 0.9.8 | 800 mhz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 800 Mhz | It needs loot of the phone, sometimes in the voice acting runs slow and the FMV are slow too, but is entirely playable. | Yellow |
| Tales of Rebirth (JP) | 0.9.8.36 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Combat scenes are slow and music stutters in fight scenes. But it's playable. | Yellow |
| Tekken Dark Resurrection (US) | 0.9.8.36 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Works fine but very slow in game. Feels a little bit faster than in 0.9.7. | Yellow |
| Hatsune Miku, Project Diva (JP) | 0.9.9.39 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Fullspeed while frameskip is on. Not always super smooth but very, very playable. Feels smoother and almost perfect in some areas. | Green |
| Hatsune Miku, Project Diva 2nd (JP) | 0.9.9.39 | Rebirth | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 850 Mhz | Alright on some less graphically demanding songs, but lags too much on most songs to be playable. | Yellow |

| Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max (US) | 0.9.8.36 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Works full speed with no sound stuttering, but the frameskip needed to achieve that makes it suboptimal for playing effectively (ie frames dropping impact playability). | Yellow |
| Megaman Powerup (US) | 0.9.8.36 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Feels full speed with frameskip, and the music does not seem to stutter much. This being said, it drops frames depending on the complexity of what's going on on the screen, and this sometimes impacts gameplay. | Green |

| Lumines 2 (US) | 0.9.5.35 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.55 | 1000 Mhz | Quite slow compared to Lumines 1, and the music keeps stuttering. Playable but not great. A little faster than in 0.9.1.30. | Yellow |
| Criminal Girls (JP) | 0.9.6.34 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Not playing very smoothly, scrolling is clearly not smooth. Sound stutters in most dialogs. Alpha hack works well to speed things up but introduces many glitches. | Yellow |

| Y's Seven (JP) | 0.9.1.31 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.54 | 1000 Mhz | Runs almost well, but there are several slow-downs during dialogs and the music tends to stutter. Playable, but needs a little more speed to be really great. | Yellow |

Months ago, I bought a raspberry pi 3 model B from Amazon, and then, ...then, a whole summer passed and I'm still thinking about to make more projects with it. :D
Alright, today let's focus on the psp settings of retropie.
As you may all know, retropie is one of the best OS based on rpi which could turn your $35 raspberry pi into a king of game consoles. With retropie setted up, you can play Battle City, Raiden, Metal Slug, King of Fight, Super Mario, Kingdom Hearts and any other games on a plenty of platforms like NeoGeo, Nintendo, and even Sony PSP.
Almost all the games could run fluently on your rpi, if not, poke around the settings and you will be good to go.
Comparing to others, the configuration of PSP emulation is the most difficult and the most worthy one that you should play around. And it confused many people. I've been tweaking those parameters for couples of weeks and finally, I found a combination to make most of the games I have running nearly perfectly.
I didn't test many games, but I've got
- Dragon Ball Z - Shin Budokai (USA)
- Kingdom Hearts - Birth by Sleep (USA)
- Bleach Soul Carnival (JPN)
Running perfectly on my retropie.
But with these games:
- Little Big Planet
- Ridge Racer 2 (EUR)
- Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Impact (USA)
- FIFA 14
- Assassin's Creed - Bloodliness (USA)
I still have trouble to run them. Among which, Assassin's Creed can run fluently but there are many vertical grey bars on the screen looks like the screen is broken into 6 parts. I believe it is due to the broken of .iso file rather than the settings.
For the Ridge Racer, the screen is always dark, looks like the global light sources of the game weren't rendered.
For Little Big Planet, it runs fluently but the layers of items seems disordered, so some backgroud items is blocking the whole screen and makes it unplayable.
For FIFA and Naruto, it might be because the amount of complicated 3d models which makes the game stuck.
My settings might not be the perfect solution, but the effect of those playable games are very promising, so I hope my settings could help you.
So I'm gonna share my configurations for people who need.
After the installation of your retropie, boot it up. The first thing you want to do with psp is to install the other version of psp emulation(ppsspp) and disable the original one(lr-ppsspp).
To install ppsspp:
If this is the very first time you boot it up after the installation, there is no other platform for you to choose, no need to panic.
Wait for a second, it will shut down the emulation station and pop up a Basic style menu.
You can also choose [install from binary], they are almost the same. The binary one takes a shorter time to finish the installation while the source one would build up a version that fit your rpi most. I've tried them both and they both work.
I've seen someone on the Internet said that installing from source would provide a better performance but I really didn't feel it if it does.
Becareful when you saw your rpi is under sleep mode and you are not sure whether the installation is finished or not: DO NOT hit confirm button to awake your pi because otherwise you might choose the install from binary/source again and you need to wait for another installation. Don't ask me why do I know that T^T
Now we are talking.
You would see many tabs on the left top corner of the screen. I'll talk about them one by one.
Rendering mode
Framerate control
Performance
Texture scaling
Texture filtering
Hack settings
Let's talk about it a little bit.
The most impact ones are Mode and Frameskipping settings, for 3D games, if you turn the Mode to Buffered rendering, the resolution would be poorer and the speed would be slower at the mean time. But if you are playing a game with many 2D items, even like little big planet, some items might display in the wrong way if you choose different Mode. (I don't know the right configuration for little big planet, I've given up...)
Best Ppsspp Settings For Star Ocean
About Frameskipping. It works as literally, like, skip some frames to boot the game speed. But if it skips too many frames, the game will act like a static movie or a game.gif, the best value for my pi is 1.
Audio
Audio hacks
Emulation
Look, this is not a tab in the settings, don't panic I don't have it ether.
After these settings, some games still suck. What you can do is to find the install game or install game data option. It will move crucial game data from .iso file to your rpi and it will signaficantly boot this game. For some game it will take several minitues for the installed data to come effected after the installation.
Ppsspp Video Settings
Another thing you can do is to turn off the auto save feature
If you want better performance, go and overclock your pi!
Check out this link: this is really a good overclock tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTp3mfpCc2A
I followed this video and overclocked my pi from 1.2MHz to 1.4MHz, faster and safe enough, I can sense it. :D
