## Overview
M33 (March33) brings the PPSSPP PSP emulator to jailbroken PS4 consoles
as an app you launch from the home screen like any other. Pick a game, press **Cross**, and play
with a DualShock 4. Pressing **L3 + R3** during a game opens a quick menu made for the controller:
save states with their pictures, cheats, rewind, the picture and sound settings, restart or quit.
With the PSP's own firmware installed (M33 downloads it from Sony for you), the real **XMB** starts
your games the way a PSP does, with its own game boot animation.
Under the hood, PPSSPP's JIT turns the PSP's MIPS code into x86-64 code for the PS4's CPU, and
rendering goes through Vulkan: Mesa's RADV driver, adapted to submit work directly to the PS4's AMD
GPU.
You bring your own game backups. Nothing copyrighted is bundled: no games, no firmware.
## Highlights
**A PSP, as it was**
- **The XMB**: with PSP firmware 6.61 installed, M33 can start straight into the PSP's own menu.
 Every disc game in your folder shows up in its Game column. Hold **L1** while M33 opens to skip it.
- **The game boot**: games started from the XMB play the firmware's real startup and game boot
 animation. For games started from M33's own list too, turn on *Settings → System → PSP Firmware →
 Play the PSP game boot when a game starts* (off by default).
- **One button to get the firmware**: *Settings → System → PSP Firmware → Download PSP firmware 6.61
 from Sony* fetches Sony's own updater and installs it.
**A quick menu made for the couch (L3 + R3)**
- The paused game behind a panel that slides in, rows with icons, values changed with Left / Right.
- **Save State / Load State** by slot, with the slot's picture, date and time beside the menu.
- **Cheats**: turn each one on or off. The game's codes come from PPSSPP's CWCheat database,
 downloaded the first time.
- **Rewind**, **Frame Generation**, **Resolution**, **Game Volume** and the **FPS Counter**, applied
 at once. **Settings** opens all of PPSSPP's settings; **Display & Effects** its picture options.
**Rewind, the way RetroArch does it**
- Hold **L2** and the game plays backwards; let go and it carries on from there. Hold again to go
 further back. On or off per game.
**A sharp picture**
- Rendered at 4x (1920x1088, the TV's 1080p) with AMD FidelityFX's sharpening (FSR RCAS).
- **Frame Generation** (experimental, off by default): a game running at 30 is shown at 60, with a
 frame made between every two. Works best in games with a steady 30 fps.
**Everything else you'd expect**
- **RetroAchievements**, online.
- The PS4's own keyboard for text, with **Cross** to confirm.
- **Every language PPSSPP has**, in their own script: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Thai, Khmer, Lao and the rest. M33's own menus in 13 of them.
- A 3D animated startup and M33's own theme, icon and menu sounds.
