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

[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

It was a pain in the ass tbh and a touch of genius if I do say so myself lol
I had to use a file explorer homebrew for the PSP. Load that then use it to create the folders you wish, then back out and upload the files through the xbox's file explorer (there maybe an easier way but that's the only way I could get it to work) lol

Also remember the xbox version of the PPSSPP Emulator doesn't support Eboot.pbp files, you have to convert them to iso to load them..

can you help me get homebrew games working then i want to test cave story and zelda for example

[dominater01]

[ploggy]

Managed to get Doom 1 2 and plutonia I also managed to get the mp3's too but that does bump the file size up to 315mb.

 

[wiired24]

So don't hold your breath or anything but Sega Saturn may be coming to Xbox One soon via PSP Homebrew I'm looking into it now

i wouldnt get your hopes up

 

[wiired24]

i wouldnt get your hopes up

I'm not

EDIT: @ploggy what tool did you use to convert the eboot.pbp file to iso? I'm attempting to use icetea but i guess it's only good for psx which PPSSPP doesn't support and probably never will

 

[dominater01]

I'm not

btw im now hosting ppsspp homebrew at my forum because of potential warez so just google dominater01 and you'll see a forum with that name

I know I checked it out earlier

Looks cool

@wiired24 heres what he sed

TO make Iso's out of Homebrew Eboots yourselves you'll need a couple of PSP tools..

UMDgen and Eboot2iso.

1. Place the Eboot.pbp in the same folder as the Eboot2iso.exe and place any files that came with the Homebrew Eboot.pbp into PSP_GAME/Sysdir. (Rom folder goes here too)
2. Open the Eboot2iso.exe and load the Eboot.pbp and then select a destination (I choose C:/) then click convert.
3. Goto the destination folder and you should see a PSP_GAME folder. Move that folder to the Eboot2iso folder and overwrite any files if prompted.
4. Now open UMDGen.exe (familiar sound) and drag the PSP_GAME folder from Eboot2iso folder into the UMDGen tool.
5. Select the "UMD Properties" tab and click "Generate" button.
6. Got back to the "Explorer" tab and you should see "PSP_GAME" and "UMD_DATA.BIN".
7. Click Save and "Uncompressed Iso" select a place to save to and then you should have an Iso to test with PPSSPP.
