57"We've done it, sir!"

Ace Combat X is such a very great game, but too bad it never be ported to mobile phones although it's "Specifically" to be played mobile PSP
But forget the sadness feeling about that, because I know the PPSSPP settings which let you play ACX with PPSSPP emulator on android, especially on Galaxy A3 2017!
In this video I explain step-by-step tutorial on how to setting the PPSSPP for Ace Combat X, please see it carefully, and if you think it's too fast, you can reduce the playback speed
And make sure the PPSSPP version is v1.5.4, because it already fixed some critical bugs including "black flickering" and add Vulkan API support

And if you already familiar with set up some settings on PPSSPP, then use these settings in order to make ACX emulated better:

the emulation may be running worse, but don't hesitate to try it! ;)
