Does PPSSPP for Android from the Google Play store have ads?
Hi

I've been using PPSSPP for a few months now (0.9.6.2) on Android and its been pretty great. Today I noticed that when I hit "Exit To Menu" in a game there was an ad displayed. I'd never seen this before so I was a bit confused. I could reproduce it consistently during that session, but after quitting PPSSPP and starting it up again, I can't reproduce the behavior.

So, does PPSSPP through the Google Play store have ads (and if so, when do they show up?)

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to have ads, no. Did you download it from https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...spp.ppsspp? That's the official Play Store link for it.

Yeah. I don't have any alternative app stores and I'm pretty sure I downloaded the official package. The page for the application in the Google Play store is the exact same as the one in your link.

Hm, just making sure. Maybe Henrik might know why? Hopefully he'll see this thread.

The free version on google play does currently show a single ad when you exit a game the first time. If you want to avoid it, simply use git builds or the gold version, both will always be 100% ad-free.

@Henrik
Thanks for the clarification -- I just wanted to make sure that I hadn't gotten any adware or anything, and thanks for great emulator.

Huh, didn't know that. I'm always using git builds, so I never see the ads. Tongue
