A few days ago I had discovered a way to get the popular psp emulator "PPSSPP" running on the Xbox One Console. I wrote a tutorial for how to get it running on the Xbox One which you can still find here
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-run-psp-emulator-on-the-xbox-one.467686/

However installing it was anything but easy as it required you to download different pieces of software, mess around with settings,dive into a shell, and re-compile PPSSPP from plain source code. I am pleased to announce that I have successfully built a .appx package for easy installation. Now you can install PPSSPP in just a few minutes. I'll link to videos below at the end of the tutorial to showcase what the performance is like.


[1.] Download ProjectPegasus
https://github.com/wiired24/ProjectPegasus/raw/master/ProjectPegasusSetup.exe

[2.] Select "PPSSPP" once it finishes downloading, go ahead and extract the archive. Go to your Xbox One console and restart it into developer mode

[3.] Click on settings and you will see a menu that looks like this

Make sure and Tick the option that says "Enable Xbox Device Portal"
In addition you make sure "Require authentication to access Xbox Device Portal" is checked you will want to set up a username and a password.


[4.] Once finished go back to Dev Home and make note of your Xbox IP Address along with the port number listed at the bottom right corner it will look something like 192.168.37.8:11224 (Yours may be different) Open up your web browser and type in https:// followed by your IP and port number so for example https://192.168.37.8:11224alternatively you can also enter https://XboxOne:11224 for example. Once you log in you may receive a warning about the security certificate. Go ahead and proceed anyways.

[5.] You will now be greeted with a menu that looks like this

From Here it's rather simple just click Add and choose file

You will then select the .appx file that you extracted from the archive earlier.

PPSSPP Has no required dependencies so you can go ahead and install.


PPSSPP will now deploy and install onto your Xbox One

To play your backups just load them off a USB thumdrive or external storage device.
If you ever run into any issues with save states just uninstall and reinstall and it will work fine.

Thanks to the wonderful team at PPSSPP for making this UWP Port without your hard work this would not be possible.


NOTE: To enable full screen go to Settings --> Display and Sound --> Video output
Then deselect the option that says "Apps can add a border" Credit goes to

Thanks and yeah I am too

Also if you run into any issues let me know and I will do my best to resolve them. However you shouldn't have any as I have done extensive testing of the Emulator and the .appx package.

Is that means that I can get ppsspp through my win 10's store and run psp roms from my pc?

 

[wiired24]

when the dreamcast coming

I honestly do not know. I have looked at the DC Emulator "reicast" which seems to be getting the most support these days and I do not believe they currently have a UWP Port. I will try and see what I can do for a Dreamcast Emulator but it could be awhile.

It's not in the store no but if you want to just play PPSSPP on your x86 or x64 PC all you need to do is download it for Windows 10 http://ppsspp.org/downloads.html

Good guide
But I think you should also explain how to put your XBoner into developer mode, since I'm sure there's people (I don't count since I never touched an Xbox One) who don't know how to put it in dev mode

Fair Point. I'll post a tutorial in the coming days on how to do that. It's very easy

Until then people can always refernce the official documentation from Microsoft

The previous psp emulation tutorial worked great after choosing to release. I have yet to test this method, but it looks faaaaaar more simpler than the original one.

I'm glad to hear it works great for ya. This guide is really for those people who were holding out due to the complex process of compiling from source etc. Since you already have it and it's working great for you there would be no need. But if you want to test it out you're more than welcome

Wasn't even aware of dev mode until recently. These tutorials gives new life to my Xbox one, as I no longer have to carry over and plug my pc to my TV to enjoy retro games on my couch.

Hearing that makes writing these tutorials all worth it for me. I honestly just want to provide a way for people to get more use and more enjoyment out of their Xbox hardware. I could have chosen not to write these tutorials and just kept to myself but I felt that this knowledge ultimately belongs with the community and not just locked up in my own head. I mean you spend $300+ on modern consoles not including live and the added accessories for the Xbox One. For that amount of money the Xbox One really should be One console that does everything. I know what it's like to have to plug in 3 or 4 different systems to your Television just to play older games, it's not the most convinent thing in the world. I will continue to make tutorials for the forseeable future. They are fun to write and I know alot of people get use out of them.

3ds possible?

I'm sure that it is possible but the performance would be certainly questionable. DS is more likely

Ppsspp is already a computer program.

when i try to goto the site to activate my xbox for dev mode the site gives me this

• Invalid parameters received during the scan. Expected CID, CSN, asset and code parameters for a scan to work successfully.

what am i doing wrong?

 

[DavidRO99]

Hey, it seems you need a Dev Center account for this and that costs 19$, is there a way to do it for free?

Unless someone sneaks PPSSPP onto the Store then no the only way will be through developer mode. I mean it sucks that it costs money but the way I look at it is it pays for itself and it's only a one time fee.

Awwww Time to wait for homebrew I guess kappa

 

[s157]

Dev mode is worth it in my opinion. Chances are the only way to access homebrew on your Xbox one is through it.
