14 DAY TRIAL // A new stable release of the PPSSPP free, cross-platform, and open-source PSP (PlayStation Portable) emulator application has been made available for download, version 1.3.
PPSSPP 1.3 is here seven months after the release of the previous maintenance update, namely PPSSPP 1.2, and brings various interesting additions, such as better support for Android-based Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphones, as well as any device running Apple's iOS 9 or later.
There's also improved support for 64-bit Android TV platforms, a memory leak patch for Raspberry Pi single-board computers, the implementation of the latest FFMpeg multimedia backend, and a workaround for some rendering issues on Tegra K1 and Tegra X1 mobile processors.
PPSSPP 1.3 introduces initial game recording support
Another interesting feature introduced in the PPSSPP 1.3 stable update is initial support for recording your video games, along with TAS (Tool-assisted speedrun) functionality, also known as frame stepping. Moreover, the development team managed to implement texture replacement support for upscaling and use of custom textures.
Initial support for the Vulkan API (Application Programming Interface) on the Microsoft Windows platform is also a new feature of the PPSSPP 1.3 release, but it looks like it's not working as expected at the moment. Last but not least, there's now a new, experimental CPU backend.
Taking about CPUs, various fixes have been incorporated in this stable build to make the popular PSP emulator run much better on certain processors. Support for homebrew cheat codes was added as well, along with various improvements for D cheat codes.
Also, the app now works much better with Alt+Tab or other application switching methods.
