Version 1.1 is out and is available here
The source code is still available here
A "Gold version" can be purchased for Windows and Android to support the development of the emulator.
What's new?
- Support for ARM64 on Android, for improved performance on new devices. Has some new optimizations.
- Support Android TV, like nVidia Shield TV
- Screen rotation on PC, useful for vertical games like Star Soldier
- Many minor performance improvements and compatibility bug fixes
- GPU emulation fixes like correct depth rounding, fixing text in Phantasy Star
- Other graphical fixes like UV rotation
- Support savestates for homebrew apps
- Simple integrated "Homebrew Store" to download PSP homebrew apps
- Minor AdHoc multiplayer improvements. Still many issues left.
- Disable a dangerous optimization on ARM, causing walk-through-walls in Tenchu
- sceAtrac music compatibility fixes, fixing noise in a few games
- Better texture scaling performance
- Direct3D closer in features to OpenGL
- Works better on BSD operating systems
- Savedata management UI
Edit
A crashing bug that affected Persona 3 and probably other games on ARM64 has been found. A fix will be released soon, as PPSSPP 1.1.1. Additionally, a crash affecting the homebrew store has been fixed.
Version 1.1.1 is out and is available here
What's new?
Fixes a few crash bugs in 1.1.
Fixed new crash in Persona and other games on ARM64, like Galaxy S6
Fixed crashes when trying to launch web browser when not present on Android, like on Android TV
Fix crash in games that used "depal" functionality (OpenGL)
Fixed rounding mode problems in the JITs
Fix crash when loading savestates many times, and savestate compatibility on Android-x86
Fix minor glitch in Ridge Racer
EDIT:
October 15, 2015: Note for iOS jailbreak users - don't upgrade to iOS 9.0+
Do not upgrade to iOS 9.0+ if you want to keep running PPSSPP short term, stay on 8.4 or earlier. The new jailbreak seems a bit unstable as well.
PPSSPP is not officially supported on iOS like Windows and Android, but we try to keep it working anyway - 9.0 is tricky though, at least if you want to use the JIT. There will probably be a solution but probably not soon.
February 14, 2016: PPSSPP 1.2 is out!
As usual, a ton of fixes and improvements:
A major rework of sceAtrac audio decoding, fixing various music hangs and similar issues
Many fixes and workarounds to depth and stencil buffer usage, and also FBO management
Audio reverb support
Combo keys - custom touch buttons that press multiple PSP buttons
5xBR upscaling on GPU (postprocessing effect)
Fix problems with playback of video with mono audio
Performance improvements like multithreaded audio mixing
ARM64 JIT crash bug fixes
GLSL shader cache to reduce stuttering ingame
Support render-to-CLUT functionality that some games use to change colors of various monsters
x86-64 support on Android
Auto-hide on-screen controls after a while of no usage
Fixes to prescale UV speedhack, now seems reliable
Faster ISO RAM cache
New UI for moving around the PSP display on larger screens
Minor UI fixes like better slider controls
Assorted stability fixes (ffmpeg crash, etc)
Volume setting is back
Preparations for supporting more graphics APIs
AdHoc port offset
Support another HD remaster (Sora no Kiseki Kai HD)
February 14, 2016: PPSSPP 1.2.1 has been released!
What's new?
A bunch of stability fixes when switching apps on Android
Updated the fonts for Chinese and Korean to cover some previously unsupported chars
DownloadDev buildsSource code
March 19, 2016: PPSSPP 1.2.2 is here!
Went back to the old way of initializing graphics on Android. Should fix many recent issues.
Some graphical fixes, a vertex cache performance improvement and a screen clear optimization
Fix for dual source blending on most SHIELD devices, causing graphical issues.
Fix the homebrew store incorrectly unzipping some games. This will lead to more games being added.
Slightly faster ISO handling

So after looking at the build log, could this now be implemented to bizhawk? Another question, how are emulators implemented into bizhawk anyway? Is it a lot of work?
There is an attempt to integrate PPSSPP in Bizhawk made by natt, but I dont know at all if the tests are successful or not.

I don't see any tests on that page.. Not only that, but that page hasn't been edited in 3 years. A lot has changed in 3 years for this project. It might just be approved for tasvideos at this point.
I've begun work on implementing TAS tools for PPSSPP.
The first thing to be worked on was Frame Advance, which has now been merged into master.
https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/pull/8939
I'll be working on frame/audio dumping next, then porting over more things from Dolphin as the code base is similar enough.

There's a started port of ppsspp in bizhawk, dunno what would be the percentage of completion, but isn't it easier to base on something already started?
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

That port is quite old, and I feel it's better to implement tools within the emulator itself, like Dolphin.

But no TAStudio support then, unless it already exists there and I was unaware.

No TAStudio. I'm only working on basic re-recording support for PPSSPP. Once it's merged, then we can see how reliable the emulator is and have either myself or the developers improve upon it.

Looks like someone already made a tas of ace combat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwaj8OFidvc 6 months ago. Using ppsspp.
Just posting it here as I don't think anyone was aware.

Yes "6 months ago".
Also the oldest PSP TAS was in 2013, and if I'm not mistaken it's Half-Minute Hero, which has been brought up somewhere in the forums.

I tried a few seconds of recording, but I do not know when all this was dumped. (I would look at later)
Edit: found: \ppsspp\memstick\PSP\VIDEO and \ppsspp\memstick\PSP\AUDIO
If I'm not mistaken, except "Record Display", "Use lossless video codec (FFV1)" and "Record Audio", there are no other options like choosing the folder where to save the dump?
Good job Fog!
No options yet, it's only basic support to get things started.
In the future I'll expand upon it.
The dump seems to work.
Pause and Frame Advance too.
Can we except options like "Virtual PAd" on Bizhawk soon?
I am glad to see such tools arrive on PPSPP.

Very nice! Within 24 days we already got a lot done! Well, I didn't really contribute to anything besides bringing it up.
Anyways, so when recording, will save states and frame advance apply to the encode?
Just no "movie file" for verication?
I can do some test.

Save states will apply, frame advance acts just like regular playback.

I'm having some troubles here with recording..
Whenever I record with "Record display" and "Record Audio" checked, it goes into a VIDEO folder on memstick(which I had to create on my own) saying framedump0 and framedump1 which are corrupted files. Nothing in the AUDIO folder either.. I put them in caps.

I don't think the game would make any difference, but if needed I can say what game I was running. I also ran the 64 version of ppsspp.
Do I just have to check everything under record?
