If you don’t own a console anymore but have one of its controller(s) lying around, then you could make use of them again. You might wonder how that’s possible when you own a Mac device because it’s infamous for its inferior gaming quality. Truth is, the default hardware on a Mac system is quite capable of running most games. It’s only the developers who don’t often release games for the impressive Mac OS.
Here in this scenario, when the need for gaming overwhelms you, what you could do is use an emulator that can play hundreds of PlayStation games. The PS1 & PSP games are already praised for their quality visuals and also the vital ability to use consoles for playing single or multiplayer modes.
There is a popular PS & PSP emulator developed for the Mac platform which is known as the PPSSPP Emulator.
What is PPSSPP?
The “PPSSPP” stands for PlayStation Portable Simulator Suitable for Playing Portably. This emulator works in more than 30 languages. It can emulate PlayStation games on multiple platforms such as Mac, PC, and Android.
The PPSSPP emulator allows you multiple ways to load games. You can use the Homebrew store provided within the emulator to obtain game titles or use the compatible PS games already present in your local storage as ROM(s).
This emulator is inclusive of a host of features that could be tweaked to adjust performance in several of your favorite gaming titles. You could play at 1080p resolution and combine the magic of the Mac Display along with High Definition image quality to thrive in your games. Saving your progress is also possible with the ability to save up to 3-5 game states to later resume them at a better time.
You can also map keys, lock FPS and adjust other settings in-depth to extract maximum performance from the hardware of your system. Lastly, you can use either or both the keyboard and the external game controllers to play while you enjoy amazing high-quality sounds!

The footprint of this brilliant emulator is just approximately 12 MB and it works on any Mac OS X device. Do remember to make some free disk space of approximately 5GB or less depending upon how many games you want to keep in your library. These packages that carry games are called ROMs which further contain the ISO file required to load the game.

To set up a Homebrew installer on your system, you’ll need to run a command in your Terminal application. Copy exactly the provided command or you’ll risk hampering your system and it’s core files.

1) Connect your iPhone to computer.
2) Open iTunes (if it’s not open already) and ensure your iPhone is detected in iTunes.

5) Once PPSSPP is selected, click on “Add File” (identified as (3) on the image above) and locate the PSP ISO/ROMS file and click “OK” to start uploading PSP ISO/ROMS file from your computer to your iPhone.
Redo step #5 as many as you want for the rest of PSP ISO/ROMS that you have.
