For Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together on the PSP, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Looking for advice on starting this game again'. As I stated in the title I'll be playing my copy I bought off PSN on my VITA which is the PSP version of LUCT. I'm mostly looking for basic/beginner tips and things to watch out for that I may be used.
PPSSPP is a Sony PSP Emulator ported on Pandora by PtitSeb. Other versions exist (Linux|GNU, Android, Windows, Mac.)
Current stable version is 0.9.8.36 from Mar 29th 2014. You can read a full article about the previous version on Pandoralive
Adding to the Compatibility List
Choose a playability color that reflects a game's best playability state. Also include the clockspeed at which you ran it, for whichever Pandora version you tested. Please also indicate in the name of the Game whether the version is US/EU/JP, since compatibility may differ depending on regions. You may also add specific conditions you specified in the settings if they differ from the defaults. As for the SGC driver, please write 'default' if you did not change your driver vs what was in the firmware. These PPSSPP games are compatible with this emulator.
Don't post a redundant entry unless you are using a different Pandora model and the playability differs from an existing entry. If a game's playability gets worse (new bugs, new crashes) in a new PPSSPP version, update the entry and add that to notes.
Playability | Description |
---|---|
Fullspeed | Games with a green background run at fullspeed and are fully playable from start to finish. If frameskip is required, add to notes. |
Playable | Games with a yellow background run slower than fullspeed, but are otherwise fully playable. Add problems/slowdowns to notes. |
Incomplete | Games with an orange background have playability issues and cannot be played from start to finish. This may include missing functionality (wifi) or game crashes. Add problems to notes. |
Unplayable | Games with a red background are unplayable. They either don't run at all, or don't get past the intro. Add any other oddities to notes. |
N/A | Games with a white background have not been fully tested. If you see one on this list, try it out and report back! |
If you are inclined, post your forum username at the end of your notes so you can be contacted by PtitSeb about further debugging your problems.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (USA) | 1.5.4.53 | 1GHz | 4.10 | 1.76 | 1150 Mhz | Slightly slow in combat(15-20 fps). Audio can be sometimes stuttery. Using automatic frameskipping improves performance. | Yellow |
Taiko no Tatsujin Portable 2 (JP) | 0.9.8.36 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Makes the emulator completely crash right after the first few screens. Back to desktop. | Red |

Star Ocean: The Second Departure (US) | 0.9.6.34 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Fullspeed apparently at all times, with minor glitches on text boxes once in a while. | Green |
Toradora Portable (JP) | 0.9.8 | 800 mhz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 800 Mhz | It needs loot of the phone, sometimes in the voice acting runs slow and the FMV are slow too, but is entirely playable. | Yellow |
Tales of Rebirth (JP) | 0.9.8.36 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Combat scenes are slow and music stutters in fight scenes. But it's playable. | Yellow |
Tekken Dark Resurrection (US) | 0.9.8.36 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Works fine but very slow in game. Feels a little bit faster than in 0.9.7. | Yellow |
Hatsune Miku, Project Diva (JP) | 0.9.9.39 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Fullspeed while frameskip is on. Not always super smooth but very, very playable. Feels smoother and almost perfect in some areas. | Green |
Hatsune Miku, Project Diva 2nd (JP) | 0.9.9.39 | Rebirth | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 850 Mhz | Alright on some less graphically demanding songs, but lags too much on most songs to be playable. | Yellow |
Metal Slug Anthology (US) | 0.9.1.31 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.54 | 1000 Mhz | Fullspeed in-game but sometimes slow in the menus and when loading from one level to another. This being said, I recommend playing such games on Neo Geo emulators instead. | Green |
Guilty Gear XX (JP) | 0.9.1.31 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.54 | 1000 Mhz | Slow in game, albeit playable. But not enjoyable for a fighting game. | Yellow |
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max (US) | 0.9.8.36 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Works full speed with no sound stuttering, but the frameskip needed to achieve that makes it suboptimal for playing effectively (ie frames dropping impact playability). | Yellow |
Megaman Powerup (US) | 0.9.8.36 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Feels full speed with frameskip, and the music does not seem to stutter much. This being said, it drops frames depending on the complexity of what's going on on the screen, and this sometimes impacts gameplay. | Green |

Lumines (EU) | 0.9.6.34 | 1GHz | 4.10.00 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | AutoFrameskip is on, AlphaHack is on, and Timer Hack is OFF. It runs fullspeed and without issues. | Green |
Lumines 2 (US) | 0.9.5.35 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.55 | 1000 Mhz | Quite slow compared to Lumines 1, and the music keeps stuttering. Playable but not great. A little faster than in 0.9.1.30. | Yellow |
Criminal Girls (JP) | 0.9.6.34 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Not playing very smoothly, scrolling is clearly not smooth. Sound stutters in most dialogs. Alpha hack works well to speed things up but introduces many glitches. | Yellow |
Lunar Silver Star Harmony (JP) | 0.9.6.34 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.60 | 1000 Mhz | Runs perfectly now, no more sound stuttering if you activate the alpha hack. Superb. | Green |
Y's Seven (JP) | 0.9.1.31 | 1GHz | 4.03.02 | 1.54 | 1000 Mhz | Runs almost well, but there are several slow-downs during dialogs and the music tends to stutter. Playable, but needs a little more speed to be really great. | Yellow |

February 6, 2018: Back in the Play Store!
The appeal against the suspension was successful, as expected. We're back!
Febraury 1, 2018: News update: PPSSPP temporarily gone from Play Store, OpenGL threading success
PPSSPP (not PPSSPP Gold, for some reason) was suspended by Google from the Play Store for unclear reasons. I am appealing the decision. In the meantime, you can download the APK and install it manually.
In other news, the new OpenGL threading code is turning out to be very fast, nearly reaching Vulkan speeds in some cases. So if games are running slow on your device, and it has more than one core - stay tuned for 1.6! It will still be a while though before the code is fully stable, but it's already showing lots of promise.
December 5, 2017: PPSSPP 1.5.4, - more crashfixes, mostly Vulkan
Another quick update to take care of some common crashes.
November 30, 2017: PPSSPP 1.5.2, - fixes for common crashes

October 15, 2015: Note for iOS jailbreak users - don't upgrade to iOS 9.0+
Do not upgrade to iOS 9.0+ if you want to keep running PPSSPP short term, stay on 8.4 or earlier. The new jailbreak seems a bit unstable as well.
PPSSPP is not officially supported on iOS like Windows and Android, but we try to keep it working anyway - 9.0 is tricky though, at least if you want to use the JIT. There will probably be a solution but probably not soon.

February 15 & 17, 2014: 0.9.7.1 - minor bugfix release
An annoying rotation lock bug slipped through, and haptic feedback was broken. Both have been fixed.
Dec 29, 2019 In this video I'm explaining how to create your own cheats for CWcheat / TempARusing PPSSPP RAM dumps with GTA Liberty City Stories as an exemplary game. Note that this method only works in games. To use PPSSPP cheat, you need to install the latest PPSSPP gold app, or PPSSPP Emulator, then download the latest Cwcheat for PPSSPP and import the cheat.db file to your PPSSPP Emulator. We have explained the procedures in details and you can see it as you scroll down. Jul 11, 2017 Play your game, then press the back (menu) button to enter PPSSPP menu. Go to Settings (Game setting) → System, scroll down to search and tick the Enable cheats. Go back, after that it will appear Cheats option on the PPSSPP menu, if not, then try restart the game first. On the PPSSPP menu, choose Cheats option → Import from cheat.db. Setup ppsspp for cheat engine. Oct 06, 2018 everyone can do it within few minutes. Open your PPSSPP from your computer and select “Game Setting”. Check “Enable Cheats”. Close PPSSPP. Right click on the PPSSPP icon on the desktop. After open the PPSSPP file location. Open The PSP folder. Name the new folder as “cheats”. Go back to PPSSPP emulator and open the game you want to cheat it.
UPDATE: One more release, fixing a drastic slowdowns in a couple of games.
February 14, 2014: PPSSPP 0.9.7 is out!
Another release! More fixes and compatibility, and various little features. Here's the list:

- Screen rotation and immersive mode support on Android
- Large improvements to the software renderer (still not really playable, but looks right more often than not)
- New VPL allocator and bugfixes, fixing Pangya Golf performance problems.
- Some mpeg/video playback fixes, fixing Parappa The Rapper and others. Some issues remain.
- Fix save state bugs causing incompatibility between 32 and 64-bit platforms.
- Symbol map/debugger improvements
- Depth buffer copy, fixing Jeanne D'arc. May cause minor slowdowns though, this will be worked around in the future.
- MsgDialog fixes. Saving fixed in numerous games.
- Initial multitouch support on Windows 8 for on-screen controls.
Please note that it often takes a few hours to roll out an update on Google Play, so you may not see it there immediately.
NOTE: The Windows version of 0.9.7 requires new runtime DLLs.
If you have questions or want to report problems, don't forget to check the forum.
February 4, 2014: 0.9.7 is coming soon
The next release, 0.9.7, will have a bunch of fixes that many of you have been waiting for - for example, the Yu Gi Oh games no longer hang when you attempt to move. Also, you will be able to play in portrait mode on Android, and more. Stay tuned for the release, which if all goes well will happen in a week or so.
December 12, 2013: Fixed crash bug

November 15, 2013: Plans for the next release - It's time for speed!
Ppsspp V 1.3 Support For Tactics Ogre Luct Multiplayer
Think PPSSPP is already fast on your PC? Or is it running a little slow in your mobile device?
Just wait until the next release. We are currently focusing hard on performance and have already made some really good improvements, for example FF:CC wasn't really playable on Nexus 4 but on current development builds it's pretty smooth! And GTA runs fullspeed on nVidia Shield with only a frameskip of 1.
Obviously this doesn't mean that a Galaxy Y will suddenly play God of War, but whatever device you have, there will be improvement.
Stay tuned!
November 1, 2013: PPSSPP one year anniversary - 0.9.5 released!
Two months since the last release, and today's the 1-year anniversary of the PPSSPP project! What better day to release a new version?
While nothing is perfect, there have been plenty of improvements since the last one, much thanks to all our contributors! Here's a shortlist of top new features:
Ppsspp V 1.3 Support For Tactics Ogre Luct Walkthrough
- Atrac3+ plugin no longer required! Thanks Maxim for hard reverse-engineering work
- Many, many emulation fixes, including:
- bezier/spline curve support, fixing Loco Roco and others
- stencil clear emulation, fixing Final Fantasy IV text
- Android-x86 support
- Post-processing shaders like FXAA, scanlines, vignette
- More solid save states (we will try to keep them working from now on. Save states only upgrade forward, not backward to older versions though)
- Change render resolution independently of window size
- Massive debugger improvements on Windows, by Kingcom and unknownbrackets (GE)
- Win32 menu bar is now translatable. Language changes are applied instantly.
- Win32: Ability to store PPSSPP's config files and memory stick files in places other than the same directory
- Qt audio fixed, Symbian audio and ffmpeg is now threaded for more consistent media processing
- Haptic feedback support for mobile devices
- Accurate system information for mobile devices
- Analog controller support for Blackberry
- Windows installer (coming soon)
Enjoy!
Please note that it often takes a few hours to roll out an update on Google Play, so you may not see it immediately.

October 25, 2013: 0.9.5 coming soon!
On November 1, it's the 1 year anniversary of the PPSSPP project. You will all get to celebrate it by playing PPSSPP 0.9.5!
August 21, 2013: 0.9.1 fixes a couple of bugs
0.9 was a big release and a couple of bad bugs slipped through, including a crash bug in the settings menu and a bug that turned on error reporting for everyone, which is a bit much for our server. So 0.9.1 is just a boring bugfix release, but please install it! :)
August 20, 2013: 0.9 is finally out! Enjoy!
Nearly two months of no release are over, and a new PPSSPP is out. As always, there have been incredible progress:
- Much improved control mapping, and autoconfig for a few devices like Shield
- Large speed boosts in many games
- Improved touchscreen control latency, important for rhythm games
- Huge improvements to our internal PSP debugger by Kingcom!
- A number of new games became compatible, such as Final Fantasy Tactics which just has some audio issues left.
- A completely redesigned user interface, unlike the previous static one this one can grow with the emulator and has keyboard/controller navigation support, for the full lean-back experience!
- Improved frameskipping, increasing playability on slower devices.
So get downloading and enjoy! And thank all the contributors for their incredible work.
The Android version will automatically upgrade during the next few hours if you installed it from Google Play.
If you bought the Gold version for Windows before, just use the email you got to log in and download the update.
August 18, 2013: 2-3 days left to 0.9
It's taken a bit longer than calculated but I'm estimating a release date of August 20 or 21. Some last minute issues to fix but it's soon ready for release! Full nVidia Shield support, an Ouya release will follow a little bit later. See below for more about 0.9.
August 3, 2013: 0.9 status update
0.9 will arrive in mid-August (in about two weeks), with full automap support for nVidia Shield controls. Will also try to get the Ouya version out slightly after, also with automatically mapped gamepad controls. Shield runs PPSSPP quite well, many games reach full speed and are extremely playable with the excellent hardware controls. Of course, all other Android devices with gamepads will work too, in some cases you might have to tweak the button mapping manually though.
Also, I've done quite a bit of work on the JITs for 0.9, so expect a modest to large speed boost too on all platforms, especially ARM-based ones - plus some additional compatibility.
July 11, 2013: PPSSPP Gold for Windows and plans for 0.9
For those of you who wanted to donate but did not have an Android device, you can now buy PPSSPP for Windows here: Buy Gold. This also marks the launch of PPSSPP Central where we will later add a compatibility database, screenshot uploads and more in the future - right now all you can do is download the Gold version though.
As for 0.9 plans, you can look forward to a new UI with great gamepad support throughout, and an official Ouya version. In addition, there will be the usual bunch of compatibility fixes, and hopefully we'll be able to squeeze in a few speed improvements, too.
June 26, 2013: 0.8.1 has been released
0.8.1 is pretty much just a crash fix release, fixing a couple of possible crashes around downloading the Atrac3+ plugin.
For more info see the 0.8 post below :)
June 23, 2013: 0.8 is here!
Here we go! 0.8, now available for Windows and Android*, brings you the following new features:
- Full video and audio playback in most games (audio requires an optional plugin)
- Huge increases in compatibility! Final Fantasy: Crisis Core is fully playable on fast devices, for example.
- Lots of little things like easy screenshot taking, the beginnings of a cheat feature, etc
Thanks to all the contributors making this possible! I want to call out unknownbrackets and oioitff for outstanding additions. https://scopenin.netlify.app/iso-or-cso-files-for-ppsspp.html.
So get downloading! It may take Google Play some time to update to 0.8.
*For those of you on iOS and Blackberry, 0.8 builds will be available soon. We are still looking for a volunteer to maintain a Mac build.
Henrik
Note: A Gold version for Windows is coming in the next few days, for those who want to support the project but don't have Android.
June 8, 2013: Yes, 0.8 is coming soon
It's been far too long since the last version but we've made an insane amount of progress. The huge addition of video and audio playback has taken a while and destabilized the emu, but it's really starting to shape up now, so the official version 0.8 will be released within the next two weeks. You won't be disappointed, look forward to games like Crisis Core being pretty much fully playable. Thanks for your patience and support!
April 22, 2013: 0.7.6: Major compatibility fixes!
A serious bug was fixed and suddenly a ton of vexing issues just dissappeared! For example, the 3D graphics being black in Persona 3 and the large graphics errors in the two main GTA games. Those are now very playable (on PC, a bit heavy for mobile)! Also, I found a major bug affecting Little Big Planet among others, fixing that as well. The UI now also has multi-language support, it's in Settings->System. All these fixes are enough to motivate a new official release, so here we go - 0.7.6! It may take a few hours before it's visible on Google Play.
April 14, 2013: 0.7.5 is out and better than ever!
Another month, another version of PPSSPP! This time I've only added 0.0.5 to the version number, but that's just because I'm saving 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0 for big future updates :) Don't worry, there's been plenty of improvements. Many more games run and some games run faster - the God of War games should now run well on modest PCs and for example the Monster Hunter games are becoming playable on fast phones (although without sound). And I've started to improve the UI - now there's a recent list and game icons in the game selector.
Anyway, stop reading and try it out! And don't forget to buy the Gold version if you use Android and want to support further development.
March 20, 2013: iOS builds available on Cydia
A couple of volunteers, angelXwind and the_avenger, have started to post iOS builds regularly, and basic Mac builds (better UI is coming). Check out the iOS and Mac sections of the downloads page.
March 11, 2013: Bigger, better, faster, stronger: 0.7 is here!
PPSSPP has once again improved by leaps and bounds, thanks to plenty of hard work from everyone involved! Compatibility has gone up dramatically, speed has increased drastically (especially on mobile) and everything is just better. There's even horizontal tilt control! Some newly playable games are God of War (very slow though, but this will probably be fixed in the near future), Virtua Tennis, Megaman: Maverick Hunter X, Saint Seiya and games like Ace Combat X go in game. Enjoy!
February 5, 2013: Development continues
I'm not gonna give a date for 0.7, but just thought that I'd give an update. You can look forward to seeing increased compatibility, for example Exit and its sequel now work, and Wipeout now runs at the correct speed, and the emulator will run a bit faster in general as usual. Expect PPSSPP to keep getting faster over time for quite a while longer!
I said previously that 0.7 would have multithreading but I don't think it's worth the trouble yet, there are many easier things to speed up and improve first, so that will happen later. You will still get a noticable speed boost, even if it won't use all your cores.
January 29, 2013: 0.6.1 - Snapdragon Conquered - JIT now works on all ARM Android devices
Yeah, so I found the bug. Turns out that LDR r0, [r0] should be encoded as 0xE5900000, not 0xE4900000. If you don't know what that means, well, I can just tell you that the problem was very hard to find but very easy to fix once I found it.
January 27, 2013: PPSSPP 0.6 - faster and better!
Alright, it's been a while so here's 0.6. It has a preliminary ARM JIT which greatly boosts speed on Android and other ARM platforms, and vertex caching which likewise improves performance quite a bit. Unfortunately I still haven't been able to fix a bug that causes the JIT not to work correctly on Snapdragon CPUs, instead it just crashes. I will fix this issue in an upcoming 0.61 release, stay tuned!
Also, a bunch of new games work but a couple have stopped working (like Mortal Kombat). These will be back, don't worry - it's what happens when emulators develop, sometimes when you fix things, things that worked 'by accident' before breakxs until you fix another thing.
January 14, 2013: Development builds, small progress report
I have collaborated with Orphis to bring you development builds directly on the Downloads page. In other news, things are progressing and even more games are starting to work, including the games I promised for 0.5 but didn't make it to the main branch (FF7CC, FF Type 0). ARMJIT is working on a few Androids but crashing on most, so there's still lots of work to be done before 0.6.
January 4, 2013: PPSSPP 0.5: A small step for mankind, a huge step for PPSSPP!
The last release was over a month ago, but believe me, it's been worth the wait! PPSSPP 0.5 brings large compatibility improvements, much better audio, many graphics fixes, savegames working in many games, and save states too! All of this available for both Android and Windows, with more ports coming soon.
In this release we also make available the PPSSPP Gold version, which is a paid version with a golden icon but otherwise identical to the main release. If you want to support the development of PPSSPP, a great way is to buy PPSSPP Gold. Currently only available for Android.
Now, stay tuned for v0.6, for which I have planned to write a dynarec (JIT) for ARM, which will improve speed on Android.
December 22, 2012: Not quite there yet, but 0.5 is coming
PPSSPP is making very, very fast progress, new games are starting up daily but currently things are a bit unstable, many games that have worked have broken again. So, I'm planning to allow for a couple of more weeks of breakneck development and then a few days of stabilization before releasing a 0.5. If you're really impatient, you can build your own but it's quite shaky at the moment. But believe me, 0.5 will be worth the wait. Some things to look forward to:
- Some major games like Final Fantasy Crisis Core and Type-0, Armored Core 3 and Mortal Kombat: Unchained start and will be at least partly playable
- Many more smaller games start and will be playable
- 3D graphics gets a large speed boost and several major fixes
- Audio much improved, not perfect, but for example, Lumines plays and sounds great!
If you're impatient, you can check out some cool screenshots in this thread and elsewhere on the forum. Note that good-looking graphics doesn't mean it's fully playable, but it's always a step forward.
So stay tuned for 0.5 in January, and then later for 0.6 for which I have planned the really big speed boost which will take a lot of work - an ARM JIT - and then possibly multithreading in 0.7. Until then, merry christmas/channukah/festivus/holidays and a happy new year from the quickly growing PPSSPP team!
