[Solved] ppsspp has stoped working on windows 8.1

[[Unknown]]

Unfortunately, PPSSPP and Intel GPUs (especially not recent ones) don't get along all that well.

1. Extract that entire zip to some folder on your desktop or where ever you want.
2. Make sure it still crashes running this way; you shouldn't be running it from inside the zip.
3. Create a folder inside the extracted folder with the name "memstick".
4. Create a folder inside memstick named "PSP".
5. Create another folder inside there named "SYSTEM".
6. Now, click in the address bar in the window, which will change to selectable text. It should end with SYSTEM. Copy it.
7. Open Notepad, and then (even though it's blank) go to Save As...
8. In the dialog that comes up, type a " (double quote mark), then paste the path, then type \ppsspp.ini" (starting with a \ and ending with a ", just like that.)
9. Now confirm with Save. You now have a correctly named ppsspp.ini (this process prevents Notepad from adding .txt, etc.)
10. Almost there. Paste into Notepad:

GPUBackend = 1

11. Now, don't forget to save again. This time just use File -> Save.
12. Go back to the folder you extracted ppsspp to (NOT the zip), and run it from there.

I know, it seems like a long 12 step process, but it goes quick.
