God of War II remains one of the most technically demanding games of its era. On Android, achieving smooth gameplay requires more than just a powerful processor; it requires a deep understanding of how PPSSPP handles compressed data. High compression reduces a 4GB+ ISO file down to roughly 200MB to 400MB. This makes the game accessible to users with limited data or storage, though it can sometimes lead to longer loading screens as the CPU works harder to decompress assets in real-time.
