What Reddit users keep repeating.
Paraphrased from top threads on r/PPSSPP and r/Emulation. Cross-check the settings page before changing advanced options.
"Save in-game regularly. Save-state undo is disabled by default on Android, and overwriting a slot on the main menu can brick your session."
"Multithreaded (experimental) often slows games instead of helping. Leave it off. I/O on thread helps when storage goes to sleep mid-session (Project Diva lag)."
"If Vulkan stretches or black-screens on older Android, OpenGL is the safe fallback. Test one backend change before touching resolution."
"Convert ISO → CSO with maxcso to save 40–60% space. Use lower compression for action-heavy games; max compression can stutter on weak hardware."
"Disabling Fast Memory fixes some multiplayer games, but if you need it off for single-player too, that's a bug worth reporting on GitHub."
"Texture scaling is a speed killer on budget phones. Anisotropic filtering is nearly free on modern GPUs. Use that instead for sharper distant textures."
