They are now fully mappable to any controller button you like, including L3.

Indeed ector. Thanks for fixing the functionality and adding the virtual key mapping functionality to ppsspp.

Can I use a gamepad if I am playing this on my PC?

Yes. XInput or Dinput controllers are supported.
Problem is that for the time being, DInput controllers won't have mapping abilities until a certain pull request is merged into the main build.
XInput controllers like the original 360 controller are fully supported.

Been playing BlazBlue Continuum Shift II on my Android. The performance is 8/10, occasionally lags when some flashy combo is done.
I thank Henrik for making this emulator since I can import the UMDs I bought for my busted PSP 2000 into ISOs.

Sweet thanks, it was as easy as turning on my controller lol.
I really wish this could run on my Vita, I'd love to emulate some PSP games that I can't download(I'm looking at you, Kingdom Hearts).

But you could run PSP games natively.

I can?? Is it as simple as putting the game on the memory card?

I dont read up on Vita, but there's some exploit that lets you load PSP games.
Eitherway requires modding your Vita and having a PSP anyway. You can thank Disney for the PSP part.

As of ppsspp-v0.8.1-428-g3281aa5-windows on the build bot, most of the control issues in Windows at least have been ironed out.
Touch controls should also be rectified.
DInput controllers are now fully supported again, and can be virtually rebinded as and how you please, using the UI:-
As an added bonus, PNG screenshot support has now been added into PPSSPP for discerning gaffers who can't bear to look at horribly compressed JPG images.
To activate it, ensure that the ScreenshotsAsPNG entry is set to True in the ini file.
(Which it should be, by default)

It is. Highly playable, with working BGM and FMV cutscenes.
Just stick to an older build (e.g. 0.8.1-399) because Zack's shadows are seriously messed up since 0.8.1-401.
Definitely. Quite far off though.

It's finally happened.
All the PSP Monhun games (Freedom, 2, Unite (2G), and Portable 3rd HD) now have PERFECT audio on PPSSPP as of v0.8.1-441-gb24ac21. (As perfect as it can get on our current audio solution at the moment, anyway)
SE Timing is perfect now.
Get the latest build here for that superior Monhun experience on your preferred device.
http://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/
Please be excited.
Also note that other games which had prior SE issues like Gundam V Gundam Next Plus, Megaman X and others may also be fixed.

Welp, that didn't take long.

Unless you have a controller, Dissidia is completely unplayable with touchscreen controls. Haven't tried it on my Note II but wouldn't bother. It hurts to even imagine controlling it.
i didn't reach the stage of controlling. i was just testing it and it ran badly, not sure if it was a hardware problem not strong enough or software related issue.
I've made a small list a while ago of working and non-working games that just popped up in my head just in case somebody wants to know without searching the games I tested.

Great list which only requires 2 adjustments in light of recent developments:-
Megaman Maverick Hunter X - has SFX now
Gundam V Gundam Next Plus - has SFX now
The rest are still pretty much the same.
Gaming on Android devices pretty much requires some level of frameskipping for a few games at this point.
That or you have to tinker abit with the PSP CPU speed hack (Unlock CPU Clock) in the Settings --> System menu. Many other Android users have discovered better performance can be attained if they downclock the PSP CPU Speed from the default 222 MHz to something lower.
YMMV of course.
Fuck yes, the time has come to keep playing mhfu then.
PS: Dissidia runs "perfect" and looks great since the last time I tested it:

Perfect? It still has that terrible blackscreening shit that happens during cutscenes and other minor graphical glitches in some stages, unless this was remedied literally just now or something.
ambientmystic

This is a correct observation.
In game (the real time ones) cutscenes are still rather problematic, with random black screening at times.
Not at the moment.
However, if you're using a NVIDIA card you can actually force up to 16x or even 32x CSAA (whatever you like) from your NVIDIA control panel. (This also works on AMD cards, up to around 8x MSAA)
Do note that this will only work if Buffered Rendering is OFF, which may break quite a number of games.
Have you already downloaded the appropriate at3plusdecoder.dll file for your build and ensured it's present in the directory?
(at3plusdecoder.dll for 32bit and at3plusdecoder64.dll for 64 bit builds)
The option should be on the main screen when you run PPSSPP for the first time:-

Out of curiosity, why can't the audio plugin be distributed with the emulator? I can understand things like a bios or the LLE audio file for Dolphin, but what's holding them back here when it can seemingly be legally distributed?
Might it be possible to get games to run at higher framerates with PPSSPP? I know for Project 64, there's a setting called "counter factor" that can be messed with to get Goldeneye and Perfect Dark to run at 60 FPS, and there are PCSX2 hacks for Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 involving doubling the emulator speed and editing a memory address to get the game to run at half speed, making it otherwise normally but at 60 FPS.

Probably, but using the CWCheat Engine. Currently on a game by game basis.
For example, there is a code you can apply to make KH BBS FM run at 60 FPS internally. (It runs at 30 internal FPS by default). The requirements will basically double if you do that though.
Many users of lower end Android devices actually slightly lower the internal FPS for Speed gains by lowering the emulated PSP CPU frequency, using the Unlock CPU Speed function in the emulator itself, from the default 222 MHZ to 111MHz to even lower.
Apparently the code has some (in ector's words) "dubious origins" so the choice is given to the end user to use it or not. I personally haven't seen any problems with it myself.
Wow, that KH cheat is really interesting. After watching it work in the disassembler I understand what it does, but not why the framerate is based on that. And the SCE function that seems to use it isn't even imported in the two other games I checked. Guess I'll have to ask that guy how he found that section of code.

It's not a clean room implementation. It's believed the original code was decompiled and used as a source and because of this it can't be included with the licence ppsspp operates under.

This makes me so goddamn happy. This shit will be off the hook if/when this emulator has LAN play.
Also, Another Road rules the school, FYI. Best DBZ game ever.

That's the new virtual mapping system implemented recently.
You can pretty much map any key to any function now. It's fully functional.
It's just a bit messy at the moment, it's a unified interface on all devices.
It also looks that way on my system too.
New UI should clean it up prior to 0.9.

We could do with some details.
1. What's the build you're using?
2. What game were your running when it happened? Does it occur in all games emulated?
3. Some system specifications (CPU, Graphics Card, OS etc) would be nice. If you have an AMD card, I know exactly where to go from here after your next reply.
Thanks in advance.
I have an HD4890, yes.
Edit it's not that it crashes, it's that if I look at PE i see an literal exponential graph change until it hits the limit of my ram and the whole system just freaks. With the 32 bit, it just reaches almost 4 then the program itself crashes.

One more thing before the definitive answer, what drivers are you on right now?
EDIT:- Scratch that. You can do this right away. Turn off Advanced Catalyst A.I in your CCC. The problem should go away then. This is a common problem for AMD cards and PPSSPP when Catalyst A.I is ON.
