Was looking for a post that maybe already had it but no luck.
Anyone tell me the best settings possible?
My system can run it fine. Im on windows btw.

Please post this question in the thread for the game next time:-

By best settings, what are you looking for, Speed or Image Quality?
If speed is a concern, this guide should help you get the best speed in most games on PPSSPP:-

If you're looking for quality:-
Enable Anisotropic Filtering and set it to 16x, turn on Anti-Aliasing and turn on Texture Scaling and set it to something crazy if your system can handle it.
That's pretty much it.

Hi there guys.
Just curious if any of you could give me an overview of what settings on the PPSSPP emulator would run best on my PC build.
I am using Gold and also it's version 1.5.4.

I'm not very tech savvy... I had a friend help build my rig.
Cheers.

You honestly don't have to worry.
I've got a 6 year old rig that has but a fraction of the power that yours does and I can run PPSSPP on more than max settings.
So... for best visual quality, render PSP at 8x. Use xbr upscaling at the highest (i think it's 5x?)
You should be running at full speed for pretty much everything.
Maybe look around in the forum for 60fps patches for games you'd like to play to make even more use of your monster pc's specs.
Enjoy!
Edit: Some quick suggestions.
Graphics ->
* Postprocessing shader (if you want to get rid of jaggies, use fxaa antialiasing)
* fullscreen (on)
* Rendering Resolution (10x PSP)
* Vsync (on) <if you have screen tearing, else you can leave this off>
* Upscale Level 5x
* Upscale type xBRZ
* Anisotropic Filtering 16x
That should do you. If for some reason it does run a bit slower than you'd like (unlikely). Just drop down the resolution a bit or the upscale level till you're happy

Thank-you very much. I only have one issue...I'm playing Popolocrois...and it looks as though after each section loads the textures are first jagged, then smooth out after few seconds. Is this normal? Could just be because of the game I'm assuming?

That is the xBRZ upscaling kicking in.
It is not unique to Popolocrois.
Essentially what happens (as i understand it), is that the textures/images are placed in memory and then being smoothed out as it were. This takes a little bit of time whenever new images are loaded.
I wonder if there's a way to speed up that conversion process? Only alternative I can think of is saving the upscaled textures and loading them from the hard drive.

Turning xBRZ up to max can cause hitches currently, even on 5.0 Ghz CPUs. Depends on the game.
To curb this, we limit the number of new textures we upscale per screen. With Vulkan, we can improve this more and likely make it scale more textures by using your GPU, but it isn't working yet. So as current it still uses the CPU.
Popolocrois is also notable in that it performs better with another setting (which hurts the vast majority of other games), which is 'retain changed textures'. Using this setting may reduce the upscaling kicking in late that you see.
Another option to reduce that is to enable 'save new textures' under developer settings. This will start saving textures as PNGs, after upscaling, and then reload them from disk when seen again. This is how one could create an HD texture pack, so you'd be creating such a pack for yourself.

Specifically for Popolocrois I could also recommend just using upscaling shader, they work very well for this game, look pretty much like xBRZ outside of few special attacks that 'zoom in' stretching the textures which full screen post process shader really can't handle well. On the positive side it's very fast and applied to every frame.
