Homebrew PPSSPP discussion and testing thread

[Deleted member 424658]

More than likely, as I could see the game's thumbnail and got that message.

Still, someone should try converting them to ISO if possible. Maybe we can also get a PSX emulator (popstation) running through this.

PPSSPP doesn't support PS1 games.

Wow can't wait to test PIU and some other games.

@Osakasan it would be a good idea to open a compatibility wiki page here on gbatemp

Know anyone who can make a proper Wiki template? I know nothing of making Wiki pages for the Temp, but maybe this would help give a general idea?

He made a tutorial on how, but it's too complex for me

If loading Switch homebrew wasn't such a PITA, I'd definitely be on board, but given I'm on 4.x.x and the only method is those bloody jigs, I'll pass and test this port instead.

Who knows when we will pass that kind of hacking method, for the months (years) to come It looks like that's the way to go :v

Not gonna hold my breath, but for my emulation needs, my hacked Wii U and Super NT + SD2SNES are more than plenty to hold me over.

I can gurantee the Switch will never do everything that the Wii U can. Not even close.

Despite having more powerful hardware, all I care about on Wii U and Switch are emulators, I couldn't care less about "backup" loading.

havent tried it yet but if tenable can you make it possible to lunch games from wii u hdd since its possible to send files tto usb via ftp why not take advantage?

Because the HDD is formatted to a Wii U Exclusive format, it can just be read by the console itself and not by normal means

i highly doubt that, since you can read and write files using ftp, ppsspp should have the same rights and therefore can read files off the hdd. a work around could be using savefile folder as iso folder since every game can read and write from that folder, provided we use a ppsspp channel and not .ELF
this would be very ueful since most people have empty HDD space.
