I thought libretro cores are designed to work on any system that Retroarch runs on?
Cores are exactly that, CORES. It's the base that you build the emulator over. The cores can be used on all systems, but everything else that involves emulating and whatnot needs to be remade to fit the system. The purpose of the cores is to simply ease up development by saving the time that would take to do literally everything from the start. A core can be like 30% of what will end up as the emulator or less, but it still takes work, reason emulators don't come out as fast as you assumed.

I think if we can ask the creator of ppsspp we can get it. Even as a beta release.
But if no one say anything about getting ppsspp no body will take it seriously. (This is my thoughts indeed)

By the way this is the official ppsspp link on github
https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp

We really hope we can get it as soon as possible.

well... why not? it had good games like... breath of fire 3, dungeon explorer, GTA VCS, kingdom hearts, dissidia, phantasy star universe 1&2...
although i have completed all thoose games already, so i won't cry if i don't get the PSP emu.

BTW there's a version of the emu for android, with a recent phone you can play almost all the titles, attach a bluetooth controller to having a good gaming experience. I use a model similar to these one, adjustable to fit all models

If that happens and it's as stable as adrenaline on the vita...I'll sell my vita and the Switch will be my ultimate gaming handheld.
I have vita with adrenaline too. But if you can see the psp games on it is so pixelated even with using filters.

Just imagine you can play psp games with bigger screen with hd look as well as you have joycons attachments. To me it’ll be a big deal.

Ppsspp is already available and running pretty good even on weak mobile devices but to be honest I don’t like the touch screen at all and I wouldn’t take third party controller with me everywhere. Unlike Nintendo Switch with its official joycons makes playing psp games much better especially on handheld.

I'd quite like a psp emulator but only if it can play Project diva. And to anyone that is gonna say there are a lot of other great games to play, there are, but not that i like. I don't like 99,9% of the playstation games for any playstation. Not because i hate playstation or something, but because the kind of games on there just doesn't fit my taste.

    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too

    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will

    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy

    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary

    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
