The term refers to the process of acquiring a specific database file, typically compressed in a ZIP archive, designed for use with the PPSSPP emulator on Android devices. This database contains codes that modify game behavior, enabling players to bypass challenges or enhance gameplay experiences within emulated PlayStation Portable titles.
The availability of such resources offers users the ability to customize their gaming experience, addressing difficulty levels or unlocking content more readily. Historically, the creation and distribution of these files have been driven by the desire within the gaming community to tailor software to individual preferences, often resulting in increased enjoyment and replayability of older game titles.
