How good is it? I heard that you either use PPSSPP or RetroArch, and that you should overclock the Switch. Is that correct?
How is compatibility? What are the frame rates like?

I use PPSSPP. I've heard it's better than using retroarch. But haven't tried retroarch for PSP so not sure how much better it is. Runs really well and I didn't overclock anything. I've only tested Persona 1 and 2 though, which I mean those are turn based RPGs so framerate isn't a huge deal. But looks and runs great from what I can tell. Wouldn't hurt to try it out yourself.

Sounds like there's a couple of the heaviest games that struggle to run full speed, one of them being God of War iirc. Most stuff should run great.
Most stuff does, but for some reason I struggle to get the simplest game on the PSP library to play with decent framerates. This game struggles even on other devices, but plays great on PC. Looking at you, Everyday Shooter.

What exactly is "full speed" in terms of PSP games? 60 FPS? Or 30 FPS?

Thanks; I guess I'll have to test games out myself to see which ones play or don't play well.

I'm using retroarch and while not every game works, many run great at full speed. I'm actually impressed playing Tekken 6 is possible on Switch !

  • Veho @ Veho:
    What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."
  • Veho @ Veho:
    "There is literally no way to know if they will ever release a new Zelda game, it's wild speculation until they officially confirm it."
