Winrar or a similar program for extracting files


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.

Fantastic app, all works great but I do have one issue: when I press "B" on the controller during a game, the app quits - like I'm controlling the app and the game simultaneously (if that makes sense?) I've auto-mapped the controller in settings and tried multiple solutions but so far nothing's worked. Any ideas?
yea use this instead, its fixed here > http://www.mediafire.com/file/4994qpffylyj4xt/PSP.7z

Fixed it perfectly, thank you so much.

Open Settings And there will be a section titled "Display and Sound" and then select "Video Output" and then just deselect the option that allows apps to add a border.

I don't know how much more clarity I could add other than making a video tutorial. (I don't have the tools to do that on my PC, maybe someone else can be of help)

Wow, it seems very obvious to find it but I do not see it xD
Okay, I just signed in to Settings:

I see "Graphics" "Audio" "Controls" "Networking" "Tools" and "System" but no display and sound, I searched within graphics and audio but did not find the option to unmark a border:wacko:

Thanks for everyone's work on this port! Playing Persona 3 and it's great. I'm curious about how saves work though. Is there a way to access them and back them up or are they stuck on the Xbone internal memory?

saves are on the internal memory you gotta use dev portal's file explorer feature to find them

Cool thanks I'll look into that! :) In the mean time if there's a need to switch to retail mode uncheck the delete apps box is enough to keep the saves there right? I unchecked it months ago and came back for the first time yesterday and had to reuplaod the PPSSPP.apx last night. Not sure if it was because of how long it was in-between times switching to dev mode or because of the new big update MS rolled out recently.
