[Feature Request] Add PPSSPP Emulator

This has been successful built on a RPi2

Got it working on RPI2.

You don't need to change much:

you need to get the EGL, GLES, GLESv2 and KHR headers from the mesa packages, preferably put them in the ppsspp source folder
change CMakeLists.txt and remove RPI references: ppssppsdl uses SDL2 which already has videocore backend, so we don't need any rpi-specific backend here
add the egl/gles include folder (where you copied the EGL, GLES, GLESv2 and KHR folders from mesa) and the egl/gles lib folder (the rpi one - /opt/vc/lib) - you can see in CMakeLists.txt how it was done previously for rpi
Run cmake, edit CMakeCache.txt and set FBDEV to ON, GLES2 to ON, maybe even MOBILE_DEVICE to ON, run cmake again, then run make.

A bit disappointed with the performance (GPU clocked at 500MHz), it runs fullspeed on the odroid...

If this runs better than the current N64 emulators then surely it's worth including?

We don't always have time to respond to all tickets immediately. I had read this, but haven't had time to look into it further yet.

This would be easy for you to include I think https://github.com/libretro/libretro-ppsspp

libretro-ppsspp dont work :) tested

[barbudreadmon]

Actually, libretro-ppsspp works if you tweak the sources a little, but is too slow.

[gamelaster]

Barbudreadmon: i looked some videos and its possible, and its not so much slow :-) but i didnt get idea how to do it.. mmm

[barbudreadmon]

You are talking about ppsspp-libretro or ppssppsdl ? I know ppssppsdl run at (near ?) full speed, but i'm not sure the same is possible on libretro-ppsspp at the moment.

[joolswills]

both ppsspp and the libretro port are now available from the experimental menu (update retropie-setup script first). Cheers!

Awesome! Thank you
