Uo-NeoCDPSP review
A focused PSP emulator with strong Neo Geo CD support and no save states.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Uo-NeoCDPSP is an open-source Neo Geo CD emulator for Sony’s PlayStation Portable. It is aimed at PSP users who want to run Neo Geo CD software on the handheld, with support for zipped and unzipped game files. The emulator covers core playback needs while adding display, audio, memory-card, and control features suited to portable play. Its narrow platform focus makes it relevant to PSP owners rather than users looking for a desktop or multi-platform emulator.
Its standout strength is the combination of Neo Geo CD support and configurable rendering. Users can choose between software and PSP hardware graphics engines, use multiple rendering modes with hardware stretching, and adjust CPU speeds. The feature set also includes sound, MP3 music playback, screenshots, autofire for Neo Geo buttons, and memory-card emulation. Together, these options give the emulator useful flexibility for different PSP configurations and play styles without broadening beyond its Neo Geo CD purpose.
The main trade-off is scope: Uo-NeoCDPSP supports PSP only and does not include save states. Game loading also relies on the Neo Geo CD BIOS, while the project’s documentation is historical and does not describe a current release schedule. It is a sensible choice for PSP owners specifically seeking Neo Geo CD emulation, especially when memory cards, rendering choices, and MP3 playback matter. Users who need save states, broader platform support, or a more actively documented release path should choose a different emulator.
