Jpcsp is a PlayStation Portable emulator allowing you to play PSP games and run homebrew applications on a PC. Jpcsp has been started in July 2008 and is developed by a small but active team using Java.

This emulator is an open source project. The project is still a beta release, and according to the offical webpage there are more than 600 games that are able to run using jpcsp.

Installation

Note: It is strongly advised that even on a 64-bit OS, you should install the 32-bit JRE release and use JPCSP's 32-bit version, for compatiblity reasons.

Be sure to have JRE 8 (Java Runtime Environment) installed in your computer before attempting to run JPCSP.

For Windows version, use the batch (.bat) files located inside JPCSP's main folder (start-windows-x86.bat or start-windows-amd64.bat).

For Linux version, use the shell script (.sh) files located inside JPCSP's main folder (start-linux-x86.sh or start-linux-amd64.sh).

For MacOSX version, just double click the application bundle to start JPCSP.
