The role of the PPSSPP (PlayStation Portable Simulator Suitable for Playing Portably) emulator was pivotal in this resurgence. By 2021, PPSSPP had reached a high level of maturity, offering enhancements that allowed PSP games to look better than they ever did on original hardware.

This accessibility turned the game into a "commuter’s favorite," allowing high-quality football to be played anywhere, defying the hardware limitations of the time. ppsspp pes 2015 2021
