I understand the PlayStation 1 was kinda weak cuz sometimes it was 30 to 20fps but why psp?
 
I don't know, but maybe the game doesn't run well on the emulator or it was badly programmed.
Is the version PAL or NTSC?
 
3 out of 5 of the PSP Harry Potter titles were releases that coincided with a movie release (namely Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, and Half-Blood Prince) and thus the games needed to be completed at the same time the movies did. Rushed development is likely the cause of their performance issues.

As far as I'm aware, the games generally run poorly on official hardware as well, based off of reviews at the time of their release. I haven't played the games personally.
 
Even the PC titles had issues with performance and bugs from what I heard.
I only played one or two games and it was so long ago that I don't remember much.
I agree that the rushed development is a factor, the games were likely not optimised by the developers.

What kind of emulator you use? Pc or phone?
I recommend use vulkan for better performance and make sure emulator don't make graphics and resolutions too hight!
Phone on ppsspp and i always use vulkan if it runs bad on opengl when i tried the games they both were 20fps

Okay check resolution and some other settings to lower the graphics. Sometimes even games like final fantasy tactics lions wars get lag and low FPS.
In fact 20 FPS isn't bad that much.

literally when i tried it it was 20fps on the lowest resolution

Then maybe the game can't go over that... I don't know if there's a way you can override such a limit.

What are your phone's specifications? Do other games run ok?

Games like ben 10 protector of earth on ppsspp work at 55fps and 1080 (if i put the hz to 110) and games like gow and lego batman on it can run at 60fps and 720 but somehow dante Inferno can only run at 2x resolution when i play on 60fps and my specs are kirin 710f and 4 gbs of ram (can run ps2 gcn and wii good and some 2d switch stuff)

Is it ppsspp gold version or simple version. I think golden have better performance.
Phones can't emulate heavy games like PCs.
I have simple btw if u have golden then actually try a harry potter game (not the halfblood prince one) and tell me how it works cuz i aint paying for it

I think it could be the game itself 🤔

Anyway, if you're on ppsspp (normal or gold version doesn't matter) you should try using some cheat code which works as a resolutive patch for the frames (i.e. it forces a game to run at a specific frame rate): there are several for many games. Not sure about Harry Potter, though...
What's the title in your case?

Harry potter and the order of the phoenix but i dont think theres any code for it
 
Checked my cheats database and... nope, unfortunately there's no frames cheat for Order of the Phoenix 😟
However, you could try:
- Switching from vulkan to opengl and setting the rendering resolution to 2x.
- Or try lowering the CPU frequency to 333MHz (if it's too high) or even a bit less.
Time ago, I did it on some games that were quite laggy, and it worked to me 🙂

Wait 2x isn't bigger and higher resolution????

Mine is 1.18.1 standard

As for the rendering:
Settings -> Graphics -> then "Backend" to switch vulkan/opengl and "Rendering Resolution" to set 2x PSP (I keep this value because at 1x graphics is a bit grainy)

As for the MHz:
Settings -> System -> then scroll down where it says "Change emulated PSP's CPU clock". A slider will appear wher you can set the MHz value.

I'm not sure but as I saw in another site it means it will make resolution higher. By doubling pixels.....
Oke

Got it right and did it but still 20
 
Then, my friend, there's not much you can do, I'm afraid 😕
It almost looks like Voldemort doesn't want you to play this game... 😝
In any case: what's the version of your ppsspp?
You know, some times it happens that some games run Better on previous (or even older) versions.
