PSP emulator for Android PPSSPP gets a barrel-load of tweaks in huge 1.0 update

The Android-powered PSP emulator PPSSPP has been updated to version 1.0, and it comes with a whole host of fixes and performance updates that make these games run even better on your phone or tablet..

Here are the complete patch notes, courtesy of the emulator's creators.

• Many, many bug fixes in JIT and elsewhere, improving compatibility.
• Proper fix for Zenfone and related devices.
• Direct3D 9 supported as a rendering backend on Windows, helps on old GPUs and can be faster than OpenGL in many cases.
• You can now create specific configs per game.
• FPU rounding modes much better supported, fixes the Peace Walker boss that was undefeatable. NOTE: This breaks saves in Gods Eater - you must turn off the better rounding, load your save game, turn it on and save.
• The JIT now uses SSE on x86, improving speed considerably. This does not affect ARM devices, that's for the next version or two.
• Improved audio output code on both Windows and Android, reducing audio latency on Windows and on some Android systems. FFMPEG upgraded, fixed some music hangs ("GHA phase shifts")
• Some Ad Hoc improvements, coldbird.net is now default adhoc server. Ad Hoc still unfinished and hard to use.
• Graphics fixes: Bezier/spline drawing fixes, vertex position fixes, DanganRonpa on Adreno fixed, flat shading fixed, vertex cache improved, some PowerVR blockiness issues fixed, screen scaling filter added, Google Cardboard support.
• Simulate UMD speed better, fixing hangs in several games.
• More Atrac3 fixes, fixing hangs.
• Somewhat better disk full handling.
• Fixes to dynamic unloading of code, fixing problems in GEB and TRM 2/3.
• Updated to SDL2 where applicable (Linux, Mac).
• Some new features, like analog/dpad-swap hotkey, graphics hack for Phantasy Star, show last bit of debug log in dev tools, etc.

If you want to download the emulator from Google Play, there's a free ad-supported download, and a "gold" version without the advertising for $5.99.
