Is the Galaxy s7 edge powerful enough to run a PSP emulator

Is the Galaxy s7 edge powerful enough to run a PSP emulator. There are PSP emulators in the app store, but I can't get a game to run sufficiently fast enough to be playable. I've also heard rooting my phone could significanly increses its speed and make the difference for a PSP emulator?

Root makes no difference to the speed on a device to just gives you more permissions than you had before.

 

Sure you can use root to overclock but this requires a custom kernel. Probably not worth the effort pretty fun to overclock a phone though.

 

I overclocked my HTC one x to 1.8 GHz had to cool it in the fridge though.

It's one of the most powerful phones out rn

PPSSPP is the best PSP emulator you can find all the others are crap and there is no need to root your phone.

Shouldn't be a problem unless the Exynos processors aren't supported (which doesnt make sense seeing how big sammy has gotten) PPSSPP runs really well even on older phones.

Correct me if im wrong, is S7 better than One Plus 3?

depends on the s7 model. the OP3 has a snapdragon 820 and so do some versions of the s7. others have a Exynos 8890, which is a cooler running better chip

Spec wise yes if you get the Exynos 8890 version. I can't say about the SD variant but they are probably really similar performance wise

Well, the PSP isn't really that big of a deal. It has low specs, so if it can run the games, your phone can. Although, I have experienced my Tablet becoming extremely slow, and the battery dying after I had it jailbroken over 5 months. Just a heads up. It might not happen to you though.

While the PSP very slow compared to an S7, emulation is horrendously inefficient. Only a well coded emulator actually offers reasonable performance. For example, VirtualBoy running Gameboy Advance games will require quite some CPU power on a PC, while the actual Nintendo hardware has very very little processing power. There are many possible reasons for this, ranging from emulating an entirely different processor architecture, to CPU rendering/ improper implementation of graphics processing (could also be due to a weird GPU architecture on the original console).

Sorry but discussion or instructions on configuring and setup of emulators aren't something we allow as they go against their TOS.
