In this video, I'm testing 30 PSP Games to see how they run on the Anbernic RG552 using the PPSSPP emulator on Android. Does the Anbernic RG552 run PSP games well? Let's find out!

Remember to check out my first video in the RG552 series, where I go over the handheld build quality, design, setup for retroarch and play 8/16/32 bit games.

IMPORTANT UPDATE 3 Jan 2022: A couple of days ago, I posted the PSP 25 game analysis, however I made a mistake with the testing, so I took that video down. I made a silly error in PPSSPP graphics settings where for the 'no frameskip' option, I only ticked 'auto frameskip' off, but that still meant manual frameskip was still set to 1, and that also needed to be set off as well. Hence the data for 'no frameskip' was wrong, and that meant some games that normally run at 30VPS ran at 15VPS. After redoing the tests, when using 'no frameskip' the games run at 30VPS which is how they should run.

So I want to apologise to the 1,800 people who watched the previous video, I hope you rewatch this to see the true results and I want to thank everyone for being patient and I did not see a single harsh or rude comment which goes to show the retro community are some of the most awesome people around.

I ended up redoing 90% of the video again except for the B-Roll and it includes testing 6 new games (I took out Tomb Raider Legend because it was a pain to test).

TL;DW If you don't want to watch it all, let me give you conclusion of the video - the RG552 plays many PSP games fine. Particularly games that were already at 30VPS. It can play some 60VPS games too, though there are some that it struggles with like God of War, Outrun, Syphon Filter Dark Mirror, Ridge Racer.
