It can even upscale textures that would otherwise be too blurry as they were made for the small screen of the original PSP.

Even on modern Android phones and tablets, you can often run at double resolution.

Characteristics

• Play in HD resolutions and more
• Play on a tablet for mobile gaming on the big screen
• Customize on-screen touch controls or use an external controller or keyboard
• Save and restore your game state anywhere, anytime
• Turn up the anisotropic filtering and texture scaling
• Pick up where you left off by transferring saves from your real PSP
