PSP5

PSP5 01.000.100

PSP5 now follows the console's language, reads games and texture packs from USB drives, and lets you remap the PSP's buttons.

Interface language

Choose a language under Settings → System → Language and the home screen follows it, not just the emulator. 45 languages are available, including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and Lao. The font atlases were rebuilt to carry them, growing from 113 glyphs to 3,055 per face. Right-to-left languages are laid out right-to-left.

Where PPSSPP already translates a term, PSP5 uses its translation. The remainder — favourites, the A–Z view, the cheat panel, the save-state slots, the button names and the description under every settings row — are PSP5's own, shipped as 78 strings in 44 languages under assets/lang/psp5/.

These 78 strings are machine-translated and unreviewed in most languages. Corrections are a one-line edit in assets/lang/psp5/<id>.ini: the files are plain English = translation, and a missing line falls back to English.

Games and texture packs on USB drives

PSP5 now reads drives using the same layout as its own memory stick:

/mnt/usb0/PSP/GAME/<your game>.iso # also .cso, .chd, EBOOT.PBP

/mnt/usb0/PSP/TEXTURES/<DISC_ID>/ # a texture pack, with its textures.ini

All eight USB ports (/mnt/usb0 … /mnt/usb7) and both extended drives (/mnt/ext0, /mnt/ext1) are scanned. A texture pack on a drive takes precedence over one on the memory stick.
