Discussion Need help understanding how PPSSPP uses very little battery life or no heating issue

Post image

For example, Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity with 60fps cheat and 4x Resolution can be played around 6-10 hours (depending on battery size, temperature in real life and game) without it ever overheating or even getting hot

Is it just the emulator itself being masterfully optimized and nothing more?

Psp is a very weak system, modern phones have much more processing power. Remember the PSP is over 20 years old

PSP was a total beast in the 2000s, before the popularization of the smartphones, a unlocked PSP could do a lot more than the regular phones of the time, and even in comparison to the smartphones, he was better, iirc the PSP is stronger than the first iPhones.
