For example if you want to change the ‘DPAD UP’, then click ‘kbd.UP’ and press your desired key. That key will be immediately assigned. You can change the rest of the controls on your own now. Once done press ‘Esc’ to return to game.

Use A Gamepad To Play PSP Games On PC
Well playing PSP games with a keyboard is very slow and hard. You should use a game controller with USB interface. All USB gamepads are supported including Logitech and PS3 controller. If you have a gamepad with six axis controllers then you only need to connect it to your PC and the controls will be automatically assigned by PPSSPP, so you don’t need to map controls for gamepad. Just plug and play. Xbox 360 controller is fully supported, just connect it to pc with USB cable and leave rest upon PPSSPP, the buttons will be auto assigned.

On Screen Touch Controls
To enable on screen touch controls go to ‘Game Settings>More Settings>Controls’ and enable ‘On-screen touch controls’. On-screen touch controls are useful if you have a touch screen laptop. If you have a touch screen laptop then you can play PSP games on it without keyboard, best enjoyed on a Windows 8 touch laptop or screen or tablet.

Note : When On-Screen touch controls are enabled then these can be controlled with a mouse. To control any button with mouse just click on it. In case of six axis controller, click and hold the six axis controller with left mouse key and rotate the mouse in any direction, you will see the controller will work.
