Software applications exist that simulate the functionality of Sony’s PlayStation Portable (PSP) on Apple’s iOS operating system. These applications enable users to play games originally developed for the PSP on devices such as iPhones and iPads. For instance, a user might employ such a program to experience a previously unavailable gaming title on their mobile device.
The availability of these programs broadens access to a library of games, offering convenience through mobile play. Historically, users were restricted to playing these titles on dedicated handheld devices. These programs remove that restriction, providing flexibility and portability. This contributes to the preservation and continued accessibility of classic gaming content.
