For some reason I'm getting more lag on PPSSPP on this phone compared to an older one with similar specs

1.1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 (quad-core)
2GB RAM

Compared to the older:

1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM896 (quad-core)
1GB RAM

The only thing I play is the Project DIVA series and it seems that the first game has more lag and DIVA 2nd runs the fastest (still with lag).

My settings are:
Buffered Rendering
Unlimited Alt. Speed
1x rendering and display resolution
Hardware Transform
Vertex Cache
Lazy Texture Cache
Disabled Slower Effects
Low Resolution Bezels
Fast Memory
I/O on Thread
Host I/O Method

I'm also using ver. 1.4.2 if that matters

Anyone know why I might be getting this lag?

I really love this feature in emulators where you press a button and speed up the game to get past annoying cutscenes, repetitive parts or when the game is just slow in general (like monster hunter freedom unite which is my fav psp game). It helps to get you further in such long games where you waste so much time walking and hearing NPC's blabber on about pointless stuff and get to the real action.

But i see there is an option to change the alternate speed but it does not work. It currently speeds the game up by like 10 times and it can be too much sometimes. If it just sped it up by 2 or 3 times it would be enough for me. Is there a way to change it?

So a while back I played through Fate/Extra on my PC and decided to go through new game+ on my phone in my spare time / short breaks, I went to the memstick folder, copied the saves over and had no issues at all, both the regular saves and the states worked normally and I managed to continue just fine on my phone and that was that

But now a couple weeks later I have some other games on my phone, Project Diva Extend and Persona 3, although I started playing them on Android first I've decided to keep at it sometimes when I'm at home since I can do it on a bigger screen and higher resolution and all that so I copied my saves over to my PC and while the PSP saves themselves work, the save states don't, every time I try to load them it says it failed to do so and I'm not sure why, it seems a bit odd to me that it's not working the other way around when it's Android -> Windows and not Windows -> Android like I did before

I did find this page github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/wiki/Help:-My-saves-won%27t-load and it doesn't seem to be any of those issues, the game ID and region are the same since it's the same .iso just copied over to my phone, I haven't used cheats or modified the games or saves in any way and I don't think it's a time paradox issue either, is there anything I'm doing wrong here that could solve this issue?

Hello
I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem i've been having, i'm using the latest Android version, on a Huawei y5II
In both Armored Core 3 Portable, and in Last Raven, whenever there's an attack, either bullets flying around, missiles, or the effects from the booster, the whole screen gets "greyed out" i think it has something to do with the effects
other than that, the game runs fine
but it gets annoying, so, anyone knows what to do?
I've played around with the settings here and there, but i haven't managed to get that off

Oh, and sorry if I made mistakes here and there, English is not my main language

Hello everyone,

First off, I would like to say that this emulator is simply amazing. Thanks so much to the developers who did an exceptional job with this.

I'm not sure if my query is being posted in the right section, so please excuse me if it's not.

I am running the PPSSPP emulator (newest version) on my Samsung Galaxy note 4. I have played Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days with no problem, the game runs super smooth 98% of the time and the emulation is excellent. I have also tried running Final Fantasy Type 0 very briefly and it seems to be running well so far, with only slight slow downs thus far at the end of a battle when the mention "end of battle" appears on screen. Not sure why this is the case...

My question is as follows. I'm currently playing Jeanne D'Arc and have been reading posts all over the Web trying to figure out if it's possible for me to get the game to stop slowing down and stuttering (game play and music slowdown and stuttering/choppy). Sometimes the game will run super smooth, but most of the time it suffers from slow downs (gameplay/music).

I'm no expert, but I have tried adjusting the frameskipping to pretty much every value, and without the frameskipping ON, the game would be unplayable. I have the OpenGL, buffered rendering and simulate block transfer effects ON. As for the frameskipping and auto frame skip options, I have managed to make the game playable using the frameskipping and setting a value such as 3 or 4 (with auto frame skip OFF). I have also put the rendering and display resolutions both to 4x PSP (not sure if this does anything...). Honestly, the only thing that I know of that seems to help is adjusting the frame skipping. Am I missing something?

How can I fix this issue? There are so many options that can be changed in the emulator that I'm not sure what to do and which ones, if any will be useful to correct the issue.

Can this problem be completely fixed by changing the settings? Or is this an unfixable issue at the moment? Or maybe it's my phone that's not up to spec/since it's being run on Android?

Anyone with knowledge about the emulator and experience with the setting, if you could help me out it would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much and all the best!

Theo

In Ace combat X, whatever your hardware or setting is, end up very choppy video playback at 33% speed.

Add this back to imgur link, sorry for that. This site block me using any form of image to be uploaded nor linked.
(I'm feeling so resentful about that, seriously for WHAT REASON?)

Upper one is problem I'm encountering. it's all chopped up, not even smooth slow motion - While below one is using Hi-res replaced textures and running in 8x PSP resolution without even full loading GPU.

Originally I had no problem viewing intro cutscene until Mission 14, but now this is giving me headache. I can't withstand that sound.


However, one weird thing is noticed here:

As you see, lagging is happening when decoding video, with intense delay on Kernel itself too.
So when I save state, leave that lagging for while and reloading state - That part plays so smoothly as they are using cache.

That means PPSSPP is having issue decoding video for some reason. So I gave PPSSPP high priority on Task manager. Even putting ISO file in RAM or SSD it is keep happening. CPU(i5 3570) is still not using more than 30%. All IO option yield no difference.

Now, what I have to do to fix it?
I just skipped that video for now but it's important stories. Sorry if I don't reply soon, I may not be able to use pc for around 2 weeks.

I don't know what to say but this is such a mess. More games crashes and never fixed. Like Metal Gear Peace Walker. Also the audio for K-ON menu is still not fixed for loop, it stopped and no sound. Thanks

Hi.
Like in the title, i have a problem with DLC for this game. the game itself runs fine but if i choose a costume DLC the emulator will crash.

here is the log: uploads*im/3GAiE*png

i have tried with multiple version of ppsspp (1.2.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.4.2, 1.4.2-196-gdfdf548-windows-amd64) and every backend (direct3d9/11, opengl, vulkan) resulting in the same error.

here is how to reproduce the problem (assuming you already have the game and it's DLC):
open the game, in character selection screen press square and then press either L or R.

i have tried to post this on github (twice) but my accounts always got deleted, i don't know why so i post this here instead. thanks in advance.

PPSSPP crashes when I try and boot it up using the Nvidia 1060 in my laptop but it boos up fine using the Intergrated Intel 630 on my i7 7700hq. Thid seems to have started when I upgraded to the Fall Creators update on Windows 10 Pro 64bit. Its irritating since the iGP isn't all that good to begin with and I would rather use the more powerful nvidia GPU so I get better performance out of PPSSPP

Pls help my Lego star wars III TCW has white glitchy pixels almost over the whole screen while Im moving
