## Featured reviews

- **5★ · Next level of retro gaming · August 31, 2026** — Update feedback: looks great on the phone, but especially on the iPad Mini. Only issue with the iPad is scrolling through titles is very clunky if you have more than a half dozen titles. Not smooth like the iPhone and actually hesitates to move at all. You have to be a little aggressive with the scrolling movement then. Otherwise, UI is great now with tablets. Thanks Dylan. Great job as usual. I know you have Discord for issues, but your server requires a phone number so I hope this option for feedback is okay. Older update: Sure, there are other options for PS1 emulation, some are even free. But this is an all inclusive package of features you cannot find with those other options. $2 is a steal. What the heck can you buy for two bucks these days? A candy bar? We always complain about the lack of well thought out, quality retro emulation in the App Store. Well, now we have it and the price of admission is practically nothing.
- **4★ · crashes on iPhone, good for iPad · May 26, 2026** — I can’t get this app to boot-up on my iPhone. it immediately crashes every time i just try to run the app. For my iPad, it runs really smooth, and is a great experience. I love that it’s Metal renderer but i don’t like how there’s no way to change per game settings. if i need to turn down settings for a game, all settings must be turned down. this is the one thing really holding back the app once it actually opens. All-in-all, because it’s metal, for my iPad, this will be my go to, even with the drawbacks, i unfortunately can’t use it on my iPhone if i wanted to. Update: lately this app has been opening and once it opens it runs smooth. back to 4 stars. if there was individual game settings i think id be 5 stars.
- **5★ · Can actually change graphics settings, 11/10 · June 5, 2026** — Most emulator apps only offer to degrade the image for that authentic retro feeling. But you know what’s also degraded in the past 25 years? My eyes. Cranking up the saturation and sharpness does more to make the game look ‘authentic’ to how I remember than all the CRT filters in the world. Thank you. Easily worth a couple of bucks.

## About

Sakura is a PlayStation One & PSP emulator frontend built on top of the Beetle PSX and PPSSPP cores for iPhone and iPad. Add your own system BIOS and disc backups & customize your library then play with on-screen controls or a physical gamepad/controller for a console-like experience!

• Add your own PS1 BIOS (.bin) file(s) and choose a default in Settings; PSP games boot without one.
• Add games under the app’s Documents folder in Files, or use in-app import. Sakura scans folders recursively, including multi-disc setups and M3U playlists.
• Supported formats CUE/BIN, CHD, PBP, M3U, ISO/IMG, MDS/MDF, NRG, CDI, ECM, CSO/ZSO
• One library for both systems, with a system switch in the library bar that picks which settings you get and which system Boot System starts.

CONTROLS
• Full touch overlay with layout editor: move, scale, and theme controls to fit your hands.
• Digital and DualShock-style modes, with optional per-game auto-switching.
• MFi and Bluetooth gamepads with remappable buttons; haptics and rumble where supported.
• Analog deadzone, axis scale, and gate compensation on both systems.

GRAPHICS & PERFORMANCE
• Internal resolution scaling, fit vs fill framing, and multiple texture filtering paths from crisp pixel modes through sharpened upscalers.
• FXAA, CAS, optional PGXP-style geometry options, widescreen-related tweaks, color and dither controls, and frame blending where you want a softer or more authentic look.
• Libretro Shaders: load your own slang presets, pick a built-in CRT or TV preset, or pull the shared pack from inside the app.
• Fast Boot and host-side run speed for slow-mo or fast-forward-style pacing alongside core tuning for CPU, GPU, and disc access.

QUALITY OF LIFE
• In-game menu for graphics, performance HUD, save slots (when enabled in Settings), controller remapping, and stopping a session.
• Optional performance overlay, notification cards, and extensive UI customization: accents, backgrounds, typography, accessibility options, and optional background music including your own tracks.
