📌 What You Need Before Installing PPSSPP Games

✔ For Android

  • At least 2GB free storage

  • PPSSPP Emulator (Free or Gold)

  • ZArchiver for extraction

  • Game ISO file (ZIP or 7z format)

  • Texture + Save data (if required)

✔ For iOS

  • iOS 13+

  • PPSSPP IPA installed via AltStore or TrollStore

  • iZip / Documents app for extraction

  • The ISO file + folders


⭐ Step 1 — Install the PPSSPP Emulator

Android

  1. Open Play Store

  2. Search PPSSPP Emulator

  3. Install the latest version

  4. Open the app once to allow permissions

iOS

  1. Install AltStore or TrollStore

  2. Download PPSSPP IPA

  3. Install it via AltStore

  4. Open the emulator


⭐ Step 2 — Download Your PSP/PPSSPP ISO Game

PPSSPP games normally come in compressed formats:

  • .zip

  • .rar

  • .7z

Inside them you will find:

  • Game.iso

  • PSP/Textures/… (optional)

  • PSP/SaveData/… (optional)

Examples:

✔ GTA 5 PPSSPP
✔ God of War Chains of Olympus
✔ Tekken 6
✔ Spider-Man 3
✔ DBZ Shin Budokai
✔ FIFA 14
✔ WWE SmackDown vs RAW
✔ Naruto Impact
✔ NFS Most Wanted

All games install using the same method explained here.


⭐ Step 3 — Extract the ISO (Most Important Step)

ANDROID USERS

Use ZArchiver:

  1. Open ZArchiver

  2. Find your downloaded ISO ZIP file

  3. Tap → Extract Here

  4. Wait until extraction completes

  5. You will get:

  • Game.iso

  • PSP folder (Textures + SaveData)

iOS USERS

Use iZip or Documents App:

  1. Open the ZIP file

  2. Tap → Extract

  3. Move the extracted folders into PPSSPP directory


⭐ Step 4 — Move the Files to the Correct PPSSPP Folder

This is the part MOST people do wrong — that’s why their game does not start.

✔ Android folder structure:

PSP/ GAME/ YourGame.iso TEXTURES/ (If the game includes textures) SAVEDATA/ (Put SaveData folder here)

✔ iOS folder structure:

PPSSPP/ PSP/ GAME/ TEXTURES/ SAVEDATA/

No matter which game you install, this structure never changes.
