I want to play FF Type-0 too! How!?You need:
An ISO copy of either one of the UMDs (FF Type-0 originally came on two UMDs)
The Translation Patch
Chrome or Firefox
PPSSPP (PSP Emulator)
WinRAR (or something else capable of opening RAR files, e.g. 7Zip)
A gamepad (It's a nightmare to play with the keyboard!)
-------------
You can get the ISO file from here. Note that this site sometimes has a pop-up/under or two, but the site itself is otherwise very good, very fast, and always works.
Note that this ISO is a multi-part RAR file. You need to extract every single file to a folder, and then open one of the RAR files and then extract it again to another folder. You should end up with an ISO file.
You only need *one* UMD ISO file. The translation patch will provide the files normally present on the other UMD disk. This process will merge the game into one UMD which means you don't need to disk-swap while you play anymore.

You then need the patch. Right now this patch is hosted on MEGA. You need to be using either Firefox (with an addon) or Chrome to be able to download files greater than 1GB off of MEGA.

This package contains a patch and a patcher .exe file. Extract them both to a folder, run the patcher, click Patch and select your FF Type-0 ISO file. It will then ask you for a filename for the new patched ISO, give it a new different filename, and ideally a different folder.
Get the latest version of PPSSPP. This is not the one on their website, you need to go here to get the absolute latest:
Code:

Extract PPSSPP to it's own folder somewhere, and drop your new patched ISO into the folder too. Then run PPSSPP, and the game should run once you select the folder it's in.
Note: To start a "New Game", you have to go to "Options".
