How to install games in PPSSPP?


Let us now take a look at how to play games on PPSSPP. For this, you need the ROMs of the PSP games to run them on PPSSPP. You could download the ISOs from a couple of websites, but it is not recommended as it would be piracy. We highly recommend using only the official copies of PSP games which you own and have purchased by turning them into ISOs or CSOs (compressed ISOs).

Once you have the ISO, open up the PPSSPP app. Then navigate to your ISO file from the browsing menu and select the ISO. Your game will start after doing that.
