PPSSPP (Unofficial) CPU Requeriments for Android

[GuilhermeGS2]

Well, I do not mean a phone with slower CPU than Cortex A53 1.5GHz won't run, I mean this will be enough to play most game safelly, like Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII. I also said 1.5GHz because I know many phones can throttled to 1.0-1.2GHz, that also would be fine for a couple of games.

In my tests, for example, I could run GTA Vice City Stories full speed almost all time with my CPU running arround 1.7GHz. I recommended 2.0GHz because one of the CPU cores is always in higher load than others, a little increase in CPU usage or a thermal throttling can cause FPS drops.



In this screenshot I'm using 1xPSP resolution to avoid GPU bottleneck, with 2xPSP the GPU usage is higher and also can cause FPS drops in some places.
