PPSSPP Has stopped working

[piedude100]

Whenever I run PPSSPP, it automatically stops working. Is there a fix?
I'm using Windows 7.

Delete ppsspp.ini and controls.ini if you have them before in the folder and reconfigure the emulator again.

Controls.ini should never cause a crash. This is more likely a case of bad GPU drivers. But since no details were given, and we lack crystal balls, it could be anything.

I am able to run most PS2 games with it. That includes Metal Gear Solid 3, GTA San Andreas, Postal 2, and Source Engine games on medium/high settings.

That has a lot of information about your CPU and Windows version, but nothing about your graphics card, and your graphics card could be at fault here.

In msinfo32, if you go to Components and then Display, the first line should be your graphics card.

It's unfortunate but that graphics card does not support OpenGL 2.0 which as of right now is the minimum requirement to run PPSSPP. So there is currently no way for you to run PPSSPP on that PC. For more information on this please refer to this thread

Aaaa...Intel GPUs...it only works well IF you're using any kind of Linux distro like Ubuntu.
