A PSP emulator is a software tool that allows users to simulate the operating environment of the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) game console on a computer or other devices. This means you can use a PSP emulator to run PSP games on a computer without the need for actual PSP hardware. One prominent PSP emulator is PPSSPP, known for its high compatibility, multiplayer game support, and cross-platform capabilities. In this tutorial, TechSparks will demonstrate how to compile and run a PSP emulator, using PPSSPP as an example, on a Raspberry Pi.Step 1: Prepare Raspberry Pi for the PSP EmulatorBefore starting, make sure to update the package list and upgrade all outdated packages.sudo apt updatesudo apt upgradeInstall all the required packages for compiling PPSSPP.sudo apt install git build-essential clang cmake libgl1-mesa-dev libsdl2-dev libvulkan-dev -yClone the PPSSPP source code repository to your Raspberry Pi.git clone --recursive https://github.com/hrydgard/ppssppNote that this process may take a few minutes as the PPSSPP repository is quite large.Navigate to the cloned PPSSPP repository directory.cd ppssppStep 2: Compile PPSSPPCreate a directory named "build" in the terminal.mkdir buildEnter the newly created directory.cd buildGenerate build files using cmake.cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchains/raspberry.armv8.cmake ..Initiate the compilation process.make -j4Note that the compilation process may take a considerable amount of time.Step 3: Install the PSP Emulator on Raspberry PiUse the following command to install PPSSPP on Raspberry Pi.sudo make installStep 4: Launch the PSP EmulatorThere are two ways to launch the PPSSPP emulator.In the terminal, use the following command:PPSSPPSDLAlternatively, start it from the start menu:Click the Raspberry icon in the top left to open the start menu.Hover over the "Games" option, then click "PPSSPPDL" to launch the PSP emulator.The PSP emulator is now running on your Raspberry Pi. You can use it to play any PSP game.More Raspberry Pi related blogs:How to run DiyHue on a Raspberry PiRaspberry Pi Infant Monitoring System with Splunk
