NOTE: This is by far the most popular emulator for Linux according to our statistics.

However it is not included in Debian repositories so you need to download from the developers website and compile it from source, if you aren't a Ubuntu user.

PPSSPP supports save states, dynamic recompilation (JIT) and supoort ad hoc wireless networking. To decode PSP multimedia data the program uses FFmpeg software library, which has beeen enhanced to enable it to handle Sony's proprietary ATRAC3plus audio format as used by the PSP.
