Welcome to my full emulation guide for the PlayStation Portable Ace Combat games, covering Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception and Ace Combat: Joint Assault. My goal is to have all the information you need to emulate almost any Ace Combat game located in one playlist. I also want to highlight any new advancements in emulation as many of the older guides are either outdated or are not as in depth, and new discoveries in emulation have made some of the games much more playable in the last couple of years.

This Guide also covers SuperOstrich's amazing HD Texture Packs for both games, as well as some of his extra graphical modifications and enhancements.
