PSP Emulator Web
What it is
PSP Emulator Web is a browser shell and local server for the PPSSPP WebAssembly build. Its Angular app provides a browser interface with a service worker, manifest and icons. The project is self-hosted: its setup describes building the Angular app and PPSSPP locally, then serving the result from the repository. Emulator source and WebAssembly outputs come from a pinned submodule, and the build steps use those outputs; WASM_ROOT can point to another checkout. For container use, a Docker image builds the Angular shell in Node and serves the static bundle from a Python server, while Compose mounts WASM_ROOT read-only at /wasm. The project also documents creating a static bundle for GitHub Pages using an existing PPSSPP WebAssembly release build. Its server uses HTTPS and COOP/COEP headers, and the browser app includes an ad hoc WebSocket relay. The public GitHub repository links to the maintainer’s profile and has an Issues section. The project is free and supports web browsers.
For and against
For

- Includes an Angular browser interface.
- Supports Docker-based serving.
- Documents static publishing for GitHub Pages.
- Server uses HTTPS and COOP/COEP headers.
Against
- Requires locally building the Angular app and PPSSPP.
- Uses a pinned PPSSPP WebAssembly submodule.
- Listed platforms are web browsers and self-hosted.
The verdict
PSP Emulator Web provides a browser interface for the PPSSPP WebAssembly build, with local, Docker and static-publishing approaches documented. Its setup depends on building and serving the project rather than using a listed hosted service.
Who it suits
It suits people who want to run a PPSSPP WebAssembly browser shell from a self-hosted setup. Its build and serving steps are intended for users working with the project locally or through Docker.
