Some things I noticed while testing:
If a game freezes or crashes, you can (in most cases) press HOME, wait a few seconds, hold POWER on your gamepad, wait a few seconds/minutes--the PPSSPP menu usually opens, at which point, you can press HOME to resume your session.
Native saving vs saving with save states--your choice, but it seems native states "limit" you to a 1.0GB mem stick duo (probably just coded, because, yeah); do note, some games will require you to have an actual native save; this usually seems to take about a minute.
.iso games had little issues, but most .cso games were pretty problematic--look into it yourself, if you want.
Firmware: 5.5.1
SD type and Class: SanDisk 128GB UFS 2.0 (C10), UFS1.0 (C10), and SanDisk 2GB (C4)
Homebrew launcher version: old--from BoTW release
Emulator version: Latest (non-numbered)
No altered settings for any games tested--hopefully, you can find a certain configuration that works.
Brave Story New Traveler - Title screen crash.
Crimson Gem Saga - TBA--I got really tired.
Disgaea - Afternoon of Darkness- Seems to play 100%.
Final Fantasy 1- Seems to play 100%
Harvest Moon - Boy & Girl- Seems to play 100%
Hexyz Force - Seems to play ~90%; random slowdowns, artifacting, and misplaced textures.
Jeanne d'Arc - 30% working, very low FPS, game doesn't seem to load properly, i.e., menus won't display correctly.
Monster Kingdom - Jewel Summoner - 50% is the best I can give; game has text-based issues (any character (letter/number) in any mode, is displayed as a block (like when your friend sends you a text with iOS emoji, but you have an old Android).
Shin Megami Tensei - Persona 3 Portable - Random crashes.
Spectral Souls - Seems to play 100%
Tales of Eternia - Loads past title screen, but becomes a WSOS (white screen of shit) when you initiate the first battle. Pressing " O " pulls up a menu--if you have the patience, maybe you can set auto-battle and pray you'll get past it.
Tales of The World - Radiant Mythology - Game appears to crash at title screen.
Valkyrie Profile - Lenneth - Seems to play 100%.
Ys - The Ark Of Napishtim - Seems to play 100%.

Feel free to do your own testing and cross-testing, but this is what I observed.
