PSP Emulator Web
PSP Emulator Web, also known as PPSSPP Web, is a web shell and local server for the PPSSPP WebAssembly build.
What PSP Emulator Web is
PSP Emulator Web, also known as PPSSPP Web, is a web shell and local server for the PPSSPP WebAssembly build. Its Angular browser app includes a user interface, service worker, manifest and icons. Running it involves building the Angular app and PPSSPP locally, then serving the resulting project. The emulator source and WebAssembly build outputs are kept in a pinned submodule, and setup instructions allow WASM_ROOT to refer to another checkout. A Docker image builds the Angular shell and serves its static bundle from a Python server; the Compose configuration mounts WASM_ROOT read-only at /wasm. The project also documents producing a static bundle for GitHub Pages from an existing PPSSPP WebAssembly release build. Its server uses HTTPS and COOP/COEP headers, and includes a browser ad hoc WebSocket relay. The project is free and supports web browsers; its public repository has an Issues section and links to the maintainer’s GitHub profile.
Good
- Browser interface built with Angular.
- Docker deployment is documented.
- Static bundle publishing for GitHub Pages is documented.
- Server uses HTTPS and COOP/COEP headers.
- Free to use.
Watch out
- Local setup requires building the Angular app and PPSSPP.
- Serving depends on PPSSPP WebAssembly build outputs.
- Docker Compose mounts WASM_ROOT read-only.
Who it suits
It suits people who want to run the PPSSPP WebAssembly build through a browser interface and can build or serve the project locally. Docker and static publishing workflows are also documented.
Verdict
