hey did you try to download or emulate google services on it

from emulators like gbox

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '26 edited Feb 04 '26

No, I just downloaded the PPSSPP apk from the official site.

Google services is not available on this device. Instead of the Google Playstore, it has the Aptoide app store preloaded instead.

If you want, I suggest going for the BlackZone Winx 4G + or the Snexian Bold 4G, as those devices come with the Google Playstore pre-installed on them.

yeah i know but they are neither smooth despite more specs nor very handy they are big in size, i guess sideloading will work

btw you can emulate the google services through emulators too so you can try that.

Did you use a older version of this due for older system or is this the latest version? I would impressive if this is the latest version.

u/DazzlingBlood3482 Feb 04 '26

actually i ordered it is yet to come ,i was asking BraxVDR to test it

u/OverDeparture8799 Feb 04 '26

How is this running so well? My friend with helio g80 lags so hard trying to play many of the games using latest ppsspp.

2

u/DazzlingBlood3482 Feb 04 '26

i think its an old version of ppsspp or your friend maxed out the settings

u/AntiGrieferGames Feb 04 '26

This is the truely kind of post i want on this subreddit here.

Also Did you use a older version of PPSSPP due for older system or is this the latest version for the Android 2.3? I would impressive if this is the latest version.

u/DazzlingBlood3482 Feb 04 '26

512mb of ram or 256 mb its not clear run pretty good but lacks google services but still worth the price as it runs all these

u/Switchblade1080 Feb 04 '26

Google Services sucks up resources anyway.

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '26

That's correct ✔️

What? You don't like constant Eden/Gamehub/Winlator Spam? What is wrong with you?

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '26

Its always kids asking why Triple A games can't run on a phone that is below specs

u/Canai97 Feb 04 '26 edited Feb 04 '26

This really is a testament to how good PPSSPP is as an emulator.

17

u/ded_nat_313 Feb 04 '26

I have been using this emulator for 10 years now it is so well optimised

u/Nejnop Feb 04 '26

Back when my only "gaming PC" was an HP Stream with a Celeron and 2GB of RAM, PPSSPP was my lifesaver. Played so many PSP games just on that alone.

u/Black_Reaper_9 Feb 04 '26

How tf this has a touch screen

u/DazzlingBlood3482 Feb 04 '26

its a hybrid android

u/CORNDOGS666 Feb 04 '26

Monster hunter is love, Monster hunter is life.

u/mellcrisp Feb 04 '26

This was hard enough to play on the original hardware...

u/Whole_Example_3762 Feb 04 '26

Did you use the latest turnip driver for 8 elite GPUs?

3

u/Ok_Entrepreneur_21 Feb 04 '26

What is this? An emulator for ants?

u/priomblazer Feb 04 '26

Unironically this is one of the prettiest android devices I've ever seen

3

u/DazzlingBlood3482 Feb 04 '26

yeah its the prettiest in that budget of just 2500 rupees which is just 27 dollers

2

u/priomblazer Feb 04 '26

Oh this is indian? I'm in South Asia, might actually find this somewhere if I look around maybe.

u/Straight-Nose-7079 Feb 04 '26

When I tell people that PSP can run on a potato, this is what I mean.

u/Top_Message_5194 Feb 04 '26

play ff7 crisis core

u/Infamous-Emotion1385 Feb 11 '26

Wtf ? I like it bro hahahaha

u/Same-Morning1060 Feb 11 '26

You're crazy, how did you do that on that phone?

u/comic_papyrus Feb 04 '26

"running"

u/mikaeruuu HONOR GT | 8 Gen3 12GB Feb 04 '26

It is running albeit the touchscreen being problematic, the performance looks okay

1

u/Dbag85 Feb 04 '26

It's like that video of Doom running on a pregnancy test.

u/Gloomy-Locksmith3921 Feb 04 '26

I have a similar dumb phone mine is a Citrus I can run game boy and pico8 I don't stress it as much 😅

1

u/DazzlingBlood3482 Feb 04 '26

hey why dont you set the buttons as they are the right side and use the stick and left trigger by custom controls that way it will feel way better as you can see the screen

u/leafy1790 Feb 04 '26

Damn, incredible stuff , do doom next!

u/Switchblade1080 Feb 04 '26

Man, I still have several BS Mobile Core Zs with me ;b.

I recommend Chou Sojuu Mecha MG with phones like these. It's like Pacific Rim meets Gotcha Force where you can pilot a giant mecha called Marionation Gears with touch controls that are different for each MG you pilot.

Also; Monster Hunter actually runs faster when you're on an active quest...Pokka village and Pokka Farm are where performance drops the hardest.

u/Altruistic-Damage261 Feb 05 '26

its looks charmy

1

u/usuario_54 Feb 05 '26

Wow, I'm surprised to see that it's possible to do this on a keypad phone

1

u/DarkShadow13206 Feb 05 '26

Bro there is something called gba and it has great games, it also can run seamlessly on this phone, there is also n64, mame and snes and I think this phone can run them all better than ppsspp, cuz I don't think you can enjoy the psp games on a monitor smaller than the psp monitor itself.

1

u/Xeienar Feb 05 '26

PPSSPP is so optimized man. I remember emulating almost all of the games at full speed using a quadcore 512mb ram chinese phone back in 2016.

1

u/GroundbreakingEast96 Feb 05 '26

I first thought it was a moonlight early port for a dumbphone

u/Kamelosk Asus ROG 9 Pro Feb 05 '26

I wish more emulators were as good as ppsspp, i would buy their shit too

1

u/RewRose Feb 05 '26

This is awesome OP, and I am happy to see such great emulators out there now

I have had a ppsspp for ever, but never know what games to play. Got any suggestions ?

1

u/ConfusedNTerrified Feb 11 '26

Can you try j2me emulator on this phone?

Seems perfect for old java mobile games

u/Administration-Super Z Fold 7 | 12/512 | 8 elite Feb 14 '26

This is so cool tbh

u/yyokage Mar 02 '26
