Just a quick heads up for people reading along, there is a PPSSPP test build _pinned_ in the patreon (
https://www.patreon.com/m4xwdev/ ) only discord (thats more recent than other builds) that has JIT (not only IR-Jit, but Jit proper) mostly fixed, which is fastest.
Vice City story is borderline playable at 2x resolution on stock speeds, and from what I hear playable at 3x+ resolution on 460Mhz GPU OC.
Less demanding Games like FF7 Crisis Core, or all the Personas, work on stock speeds with 3x+ resolution - like a charm - and look great.
Overall PSP compatibility of PPSSPP seems to be mixed, so it depends on the game, if it runs very well - or not at all.
I'll do a proper video (with sound..
) on a few working games tomorrow.
First time ever playing PPSSPP at 3x+ resolution, and it looks really good.
The build in itself still has its quirks (like the work around for it to not crash when changing settings) and repeat loads of games, without exiting RA fully in between eventually also lead to hard crashes. So this is not general purpose yet (I sense some people getting sweaty..
), but it is IMMENSELY promising - like "never thought we'd reach that level of emulation fidelity on the Switch" promising.
Reicast, after this, I'm sure...
