What both publish
| Fact | N-EMU | PPSSPP |
|---|---|---|
| Controls | Touch buttons can be moved and resized, while controllers and keyboards can be mapped for games and menus. | Windows builds include XInput and DirectInput support, while Android supports many Bluetooth controllers. |
| Game files | N-EMU includes and downloads no games, so users must import files they have the right to use. | Users must provide their own PSP game files because PPSSPP does not have the right to distribute them with the app. |
| Maker identity | The terms identify N-EMU as made by an individual developer rather than a company. | Millionth Line describes itself as Henrik Rydgård's apps and consulting company and lists PPSSPP as its PSP emulator. |
| Privacy | N-EMU has no usage-record server, analytics tool or advertising SDK, and the developer cannot see the user's library, play time or save data. | Compatibility reports are collected only when manually enabled, anonymously, and without collecting or storing personal data. |
| Rating on Apple App Store | No numeric rating is displayed because Apple says the app has not received enough ratings or reviews. | 4.5 out of 5 from 2.8 thousand ratings. |
| Save states | N-EMU provides ten manual save-state slots plus one autosave slot for each game. | PPSSPP supports save states, configurable slots and automatic state loading. |
