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
GbaTemp user DamienNuez for the tip

Compatibility between PC and Xbox PPSSPP isn't 100% something that runs on PC isn't guaranteed to work on Xbox
As for Emulators not saving, you can use PPSSPP's quick save function.

Does Digimon World Redigitize and Digimon Adventure english patches work? Those are the only games I'm interested in playing on PSP so I'd like to make sure they play before dropping $20 on a dev account lol. (I might also wait till PS1 emulation is more playable.)

Dev accounts free if you know where to look

Also Digimon Adventure with english patches work fine (I'm assuming the other one does too)

 

[dominater01]

hey @kingtut theres some games that dont run like on the pc version is there a way to fix that or should i ask hydgard?

for example metal slug anthology works on pc but not on xbox one just a black screen

or tales of the world radiant mythology

yeah I have been researching that and if you want here is what I have right now: https://www.sendspace.com/file/dftn75

I didn't release it yet because I am testing it, but you can test it, I do not know if you get much better compatibility though, unfortunately I can't contact hygard because he never replies, so really I am on my own. unless he makes another commit

1. Can we compile all the stuff we are talking about here in its own tutorial. I want them all to be in one place so that I can test them and play them, but it is kind of hard to keep up with all the ppsspp homebrew at this point?

2. What I am planning to do is since I know a little about ppsspp uwp ui, I want to make it so that all of these homebrew apps can be compiled from startup so that they can be their own apps (so like turbografx10 xbox one app, or sega Saturn app). it would make it a little easier for users to compile them and load roms this way. but I want them to be in one place so that I can work on them one by one.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

here is the link again: https://www.sendspace.com/file/dftn75

if anyone knows how to contact hydgrad let me know. I tried his GitHub page before

 

[dominater01]

@kingtut just out of curiosity what was tweeked in this build?

 

[kingtut]

two things: 1. he made a commit so I added that to the new build
2. I was researching this: http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=2176&pid=43698. I am not sure if I fixed it, but you can try. this is one of the games that are not working

@dominater01

 

[dominater01]

would test but not sure if my game saves would delete so im gonna wait until i beat kingdom hearts

 

[dominater01]

good thing i waited because it deleted all saves etc.

i dont have dbz but it didnt fix any of my games from crashing

edit: @kingtut you should submit your b button fix to the ppsspp github if you can

I'm testing some games and recording it with a proper capture card
There's lots of games that are playable with constant 30fps with a few drops after load the scenarios for the first time
I guess that's why open world games like Midnight Club 3 and Test Drive Unlimited can't get a good fps
