Frankly speaking, you'd be doing yourself a favour if you went back to Windows XP if you're intending on running PPSSPP on that legacy ATI card.

The reasons (partially taken from my AMD thread) are as follows:-

1. AMD/ATI's OGL driver support for legacy X series cards beyond Windows XP is horrible.

2. As a result, OGL performance for your X1950 card (which was a pretty damn good card in its day, I won't deny it) in PPSSPP will be subpar and not as good as you'd expect.

3. Windows XP will give you much better performance with PPSSPP and a lot less trouble with games and compatibility for that card. Less crashes too.

If you do decide to go back to Windows XP, here're the recommended drivers for that card from AMD:-

Thank you so much for answering! I'm sorry it took me this long to get to reply to you.

I am now wondering if you could perhaps suggest me what kind of Video Cards could allow good performance of ppsspp on Windows 7? Any general names of brands would do. I assume they have to be newer ones, the ones that were created already in the times of Win7's existence. Also thank you for that driver, I might just end up finding it useful.
