A few days ago I had discovered a way to get the popular psp emulator "PPSSPP" running on the Xbox One Console. I wrote a tutorial for how to get it running on the Xbox One which you can still find here
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-run-psp-emulator-on-the-xbox-one.467686/

However installing it was anything but easy as it required you to download different pieces of software, mess around with settings,dive into a shell, and re-compile PPSSPP from plain source code. I am pleased to announce that I have successfully built a .appx package for easy installation. Now you can install PPSSPP in just a few minutes. I'll link to videos below at the end of the tutorial to showcase what the performance is like.


[1.] Download ProjectPegasus
https://github.com/wiired24/ProjectPegasus/raw/master/ProjectPegasusSetup.exe

68747470733a2f2f75706c6f61642e767374616e6365642e636f6d2f696d616765732f323031372f30392f32312f6d72342e706e67


[2.] Select "PPSSPP" once it finishes downloading, go ahead and extract the archive. Go to your Xbox One console and restart it into developer mode

[3.] Click on settings and you will see a menu that looks like this

Make sure and Tick the option that says "Enable Xbox Device Portal"
In addition you make sure "Require authentication to access Xbox Device Portal" is checked you will want to set up a username and a password.


[4.] Once finished go back to Dev Home and make note of your Xbox IP Address along with the port number listed at the bottom right corner it will look something like 192.168.37.8:11224 (Yours may be different) Open up your web browser and type in https:// followed by your IP and port number so for example https://192.168.37.8:11224alternatively you can also enter https://XboxOne:11224 for example. Once you log in you may receive a warning about the security certificate. Go ahead and proceed anyways.

[5.] You will now be greeted with a menu that looks like this

From Here it's rather simple just click Add and choose file

You will then select the .appx file that you extracted from the archive earlier.

PPSSPP Has no required dependencies so you can go ahead and install.


PPSSPP will now deploy and install onto your Xbox One

To play your backups just load them off a USB thumdrive or external storage device.
If you ever run into any issues with save states just uninstall and reinstall and it will work fine.

Thanks to the wonderful team at PPSSPP for making this UWP Port without your hard work this would not be possible.


NOTE: To enable full screen go to Settings --> Display and Sound --> Video output
Then deselect the option that says "Apps can add a border" Credit goes to

Thanks and yeah I am too :D

Also if you run into any issues let me know and I will do my best to resolve them. However you shouldn't have any as I have done extensive testing of the Emulator and the .appx package.

When I try to play a game the button B is used to go to the context menu for the psp and not used in game. I tired to remap the controls but it wont let me remap the O button because it brings me back. Is there a way around this?

When was the xbox one build last updated?
I think its time for a fresh build. I dont think there have been any noteworthy changes but its good to keep up with the current build. ;)

It was last updated when tut released his version with the fixes for the b button. Like about 5 weeks ago.

I have tested a few Games more :)
Running at Fullspeed with no Problems:
30 Second Hero
The 3 Birthday
YS Seven
Ragnarok Tactics
Power Stone Collection (Text not properly showed)
Megaman X (Frameskip 1)
Mega Man Powered Up (Frameskip 1)
Dragonball Tag Team (Frameskip 1)
MGS Acid 1
Phantasy Star 2
Prinny
Star Ocean 1 and 2

Not Working:
Hammerin Hero - Glitchy Graphics
Silent Hill Orgins :( - Crashing at new Game
Manhunt 2 :( - very slow
Shinobido (very slow)
Untold Legends - Running slow

i cant understand why the psp emulator is running so well and the psx emulator so crappy... the psp is more better from hardware then the psx.

I tried Adhoc Multiplayer too - dont work because you cant enter the ip address there is no keyboard.

And is there a Way to chance the Emulator of the language? Because the settings for that in the menu not working

It's because the PS1 Emulator that RetriX uses "BeetlePSX" lacks Dynamic Recompilation. PPSSPP has Dynamic Recompilation which speeds it up tremendously during runtime. It's something that is being worked on and devs are trying to bring Dynarec to BeetlePSX

Burnout dominator is full speed. Works great.

yea but 20$ man, thats a whole lot of money, welp, Ill think bout it and see what is made in the future
Free dev account. LINK

Sign up for a dev account and copy that code into the box when it asks you to pay $20. It waives the fee.

Fantastic app, all works great but I do have one issue: when I press "B" on the controller during a game, the app quits - like I'm controlling the app and the game simultaneously (if that makes sense?) I've auto-mapped the controller in settings and tried multiple solutions but so far nothing's worked. Any ideas?
