    Default emulation on tablets

    So i'm in the market for buying a tablet specifically for emulation. Is there a tablet that runs ppsspp games like ff7 crisis core without the stuttering and lagging

    Do some research. Start with specs for the emulator, then look for specific games you want to run as there can be different system requirements for different games, then look for a tablet matching those specs.

    As always, remember to include some head room for running a controller since most touch screens don't take more than 2 points of input at a time, which can make even Super Mario Bros. for NES impossible to play. Also take into account if you are a person who is going to want to play music on the tablet while you play your emulator, as that will take some extra processing power as well. Cheers!


    Be afraid. Be very afraid.

    Yeah i've been looking at the nvidia shield they seem to run most emulators fine but i just seem to be running into stutter both audio and fps for the more 3d powerful games thats why i was wondering if anyone here ran a tablet for emulating to kinda get some personal feedback instead of reviews and videos

    ff7 crisis core is one of the more difficult games to run perfect, but it is worth looking at compat notes for the game on the official PPSSPP forums (it's the first game of the second page of playable games)

    I can't relay give much more that that as I either use my PSP 2002 or my PSVita for PSP games
