It is incredible. Works flawlessly! Supports its own cheats database for almost all the games. This is the most user-friendly emulator I have met in years. I am testing version 1.8.0. today, "Blazblue Continium Shift II" looks like a piece of art on this emulator! 5 stars.

The ultimate F-Droid setup (300+ Apps)

WHAT IS F-DROID ? F-Droid is an awesome app repository for FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) android apps. From productivity apps to games, f-droid has (almost) everything you need. Hope you will discover useful FOSS apps to free your phone from Big Tech^^ REPOSITORIES : This list includes apps from the official f-droid repo but also from IzzyOnDroid and some customs repositories which will be always linked so you can add them easily. CATEGORIES : F-Droid clients Utilities Social & Communication / 8 subcategories Health / 7 subcategories Customization / 3 subcategories Gaming / 3 subcategories Internet / 6 subcategories Productivity / 15 subcategories Privacy / 5 subcategories Security / 4 subcategories Media apps / 10 subcategories If you care about privacy check : Privacy focused OS for everyone My privacy and user friendly setup For more FOSS Android apps check : Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android DISCLAIMERS : Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it ! Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list ! English is not my mother tongue ^^'

What is PPSSPP?

PPSSPP is a C++ coded PSP emulator that translates PSP CPU instructions into optimized machine code for x86, x64, and ARM platforms. It is designed to run on low-spec hardware, including ARM-based smartphones and tablets that support OpenGL ES 2.0. It can execute PSP games in full HD resolution on your PC or mobile device, upscale textures for sharpness, and provide customizable color and brightness adjustments. Features include saving and restoring game state, playing in HD resolutions and beyond, customizing touch controls, using an external controller or keyboard, improving graphics via anisotropic filtering and texture scaling, and transferring saves from your actual PSP.
