PPSSPP is a full HLE emulator - it does not require PSP firmware or BIOS files.
|
|
All PSP kernel modules (flash0:/kd/*.prx) are reimplemented in C++.
|
|
The emulator ships its own flash0/ directory with replacement fonts and assets.

PPGE (PlayStation Portable Graphics Engine) is PPSSPP's reimplementation of the
|
|
PSP system dialog renderer. The atlas contains button icons, dialog backgrounds,
|
|
and a basic font for system dialogs (save/load, network, etc).
|
|
Without ppge_atlas.zim, system dialogs render without graphics.

Replacement PGF font files shipped with PPSSPP. These are not the original Sony
|
|
fonts but open-source replacements that satisfy the sceFont API. Located in the

assets/flash0/font/ directory, mounted as flash0:/font/ at runtime.

|
|
note: >
|

When a PSP game tries to load these flash0:/kd/*.prx modules, PPSSPP intercepts
|
|
the load call and activates its built-in HLE implementation instead. No actual

PRX files are loaded from disk.

# Flash0 filesystem layout

flash0_layout:
|
|
source_ref: "Core/HLE/sceIo.cpp:87,654"
|
|
note: >
|
|
flash0: is the PSP system partition. PPSSPP maps it to g_Config.flash0Directory
|
|
which is typically assets/flash0/ bundled with the emulator. The filesystem is
|
|
mounted read-only with FLASH flag.
|
|
directories:
|
|
font: "PGF/BWFON font files (mounted as flash0:/font/)"
|
|
kd: "Kernel drivers/modules (intercepted by HLE, not actually loaded)"
|
|
vsh: "Visual Shell resources"
|
|
dic: "Dictionary files"
|
|
data: "System data files"

# Font override path
|
|
font_override:
|
|
path: "ms0:/PSP/flash0/font/"
|
|
source_ref: "Core/HLE/sceFont.cpp:881"
|
|
note: >
|
|
Users can override bundled fonts by placing real PSP PGF files at
|
|
ms0:/PSP/flash0/font/ (inside the memory stick directory). PPSSPP
|
|
checks this path before falling back to the bundled flash0:/font/.
|
|
|
|
# Registry defaults relevant to fonts
|
|
registry_defaults:
|
|
font_path: "flash0:/font"
|
|
default_jpn_font: "jpn0.pgf"
|
|
default_latin_font: "ltn0.pgf"
|
|
source_ref: "Core/HLE/sceReg.cpp:81-281"
|
|
|
|
notes: |
|
|
PPSSPP does NOT require any firmware files, BIOS, or system software from Sony.
|
|
It is a complete HLE (High Level Emulation) implementation of the PSP operating system.
|
|
|
|
All PSP kernel modules (flash0:/kd/*.prx) are reimplemented in C++ within PPSSPP.
|
|
When games attempt to load these modules via sceKernelLoadModule, PPSSPP intercepts
|
|
the call and activates its built-in HLE implementation.
|
|
|
|
The bundled flash0/font/*.pgf files are open-source replacements for the original
|
|
Sony PSP fonts. They satisfy the sceFont API but are not identical to real PSP fonts.
|
|
For pixel-perfect font rendering, users can place original PGF files in the
|
|
ms0:/PSP/flash0/font/ override directory.
|
|
|
|
The ppge_atlas.zim/meta files provide PPSSPP's system dialog rendering (save/load
|
|
dialogs, on-screen keyboard, etc). These are PPSSPP-specific assets, not Sony firmware.
|
|
|
|
PPSSPP also exists as a libretro core (ppsspp_libretro), which uses the same HLE
|
|
approach and bundled assets.
