PPSSPP core on Android

On Android do you need to just download the core or does the ppsspp core need something else to work? I tried Megaman Powered but when trying to save data retroarch crashed. Tried again and the game started but when saving ingame retroarch crashed again. Also do you know what version is better retroarch core or the stand alone ppsspp?

Personally i just downloaded the core, put it in retroarch/cores and it works. I haven’t tested it extensively but i can say for sure that it is noticeably slower than the stand alone PPSSPP emu for android.

Then why is it included as a core?

if it compiles, we include it, for the most part.
