Setting Up Emulator Games on Android
Here are the steps of how to play emulator games on an Android phone:
1. Download an Emulator
- Go to the Google Play Store.
- Search for the emulator that matches the console you want to play on (we are taking the PPSSPP emulator as an example).
- Download and install the emulator app.
2. Download PSP Game ROMs (ISO/CSO Files)
- Look for the Games on ROM downloading websites. We are using emulatorgames.net for this tutorial.
- Download the game “God of War- Ghost of Sparta” as we are using the PPSSPP emulator.
- Only download ROMs for games you own, as downloading games you don’t own is against the law.
3. Install a File Manager (If Needed)
- Search for “ZArchiver” on the Google Play Store.
- Download and install ZArchiver to help manage and locate your game files.
4. Extract ROM Files
- Open ZArchiver and create a folder named “PSP.” Inside it, create another folder named “GAME.”
- Now, select the game and extract the ROM file to this newly created folder inside “PSP” on your device.
5. Open PPSSPP and Locate the Game
- Open the PPSSPP app.
- Browse your device’s storage to find the folder where you extracted your ROMs.
- Tap on the game you want to play to load it.
- Use the “Pin” feature to save your game to the top.
- Enjoy your PSP game on your Android device!
