If you like video games, you probably know both classic consoles (such as SEGA or Nintendo) and somewhat more modern consoles. Among the most modern, although the protagonist of this post is more than a decade old, we have the PSP, the portable console that Sony launched in 2004. Also if you like video games, it is more than likely that you know the different emulators that are available And in this post we will talk about the latest update of the most popular PSP emulator: PPSSPP 1.4.
In September 2016, PPSSPP 1.3 came with many interesting news, among which we can mention the possibility of recording games, support for the Samsung Galaxy S7 or the iPhone running iOS 9 or later, support for the Vulkan API in Windows or a support improved for 64bit Android TV and Raspberry Pi systems. This weekend, v1.4 of the emulator was released, a version that includes, among other things, support for Direct3D 11, which makes many PSP games that use OpenGL or Direct3D 9 work better.
PPSSPP 1.4 also includes HiDPI and audio enhancements
From the looks of it, PPSSPP 1.4 is not a major release, but includes many improvements in audio quality, especially when we talk about linear interpolation. On the other hand, it has also included support for screens with high pixel density or HiDPI and for Bluetooth headsets thanks to a new audio setting that improves compatibility with the latest devices.
A improved compatibility for various controllers or gamepads, which will allow us to decide which controller to buy or, if we already have one, will increase the chances that it works better with the latest version of PPSSPP.
To install PPSSPP 1.4 just go to the page project officer, download the version that interests us most (which is available even for Maemo or BlackBerry) and install it on our computer. Taking into account that Ubunlog It is a blog about Ubuntu, most likely what we are most interested in is install it on our PC, something that we will achieve by opening a terminal and typing these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ppsspp/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt install ppsspp
Have you already tried PPSSPP 1.4 on Ubuntu? How about?
