PPSSPP is a PSP emulator written in C++, and translates PSP CPU instructions directly into optimized x86, x64 and (soon) ARM machine code, using an efficient JIT compiler. PPSSPP can thus run on quite low-spec hardware, including stronger Android phones and tablets, as long as there’s support for OpenGL ES 2.0.

Changes:

* Several scheduling and audio fixes, fixing black screens in Yu Gi Oh games among other things.
* Screen rotation and immersive mode support on Android
* Large improvements to the software renderer (still not really playable, but looks right more often than not)
* New VPL allocator and bugfixes, fixing Pangya Golf performance problems.
* Some mpeg/video playback fixes, fixing Parappa The Rapper and others. Some issues remain.
* Fix save state bugs causing incompatibility between 32 and 64-bit platforms.
* Symbol map/debugger improvements
* Depth buffer copy, fixing Jeanne D’arc. May cause minor slowdowns though, this will be worked around in the future.
* MsgDialog fixes. Saving fixed in numerous games.
* Initial multitouch support on Windows 8 for on-screen controls.

There is not only a Michael Knight in TV, but also in Atari VCS development scene. If you are in the mood for a little shooter you may try Point Zero. The ultimate goal of this game is to get a score of zero!

Use the joystick to move around and pressing fire when moving increases your speed. Press fire while still to shoot your missiles and blow up bad guys. Not everything is a bad guy there are also power ups to obtain. Every thousand points you remove from the score a boss like ship will appear… Don’t get hit by its missiles!
