PES 2026 PPSSPP updated kits, balls, and boots 2026

What is the PES 2026 PPSSPP updated kits, balls, and boots 2026 pack?

The pack updates the look of teams, the game ball designs, and player boots. Kits mean the shirts, shorts, and socks teams wear. Balls mean new football models used in matches. Boots mean the shoes players wear, with better textures and colors. The pack is made for PPSSPP so you can use it on Android or PC. It is not the original game from Konami. Instead, modders built it to give a fresh look for the 2025/26 season.

What the pack includes

Most kits packs include:

• Club kits for many teams (home, away, third kits).
• National team kits for big countries.
• Match balls with new logos and textures.
• Boots for many top players and a few generic styles.
• Minikits and small logo images for menus.

Why these updates matter

Updated kits, balls, and boots make the game feel new. When kits match the real season, matches feel fresh. New balls can change how the game looks in replays. New boots make players look more real in close-up shots. These small things add a lot to the game feel.

Which devices can use the pack?

The pack works with PPSSPP on Android and PC. It can work on mid-range phones if you use the compressed version and lower some settings. High-end phones and PCs will show more details and better colors. If your device is old, use lower rendering and small texture scale.

Recommended device power

For the best look, use:

• High-end Android (recent CPU + 6GB+ RAM) or
• PC with a good GPU and 8GB+ RAM

If you have mid-range phone, do this:

• Use the 800 MB compressed pack.
• Set PPSSPP rendering to 2x or 3x.
• Turn off heavy shaders.

Before you start — backup and prepare

Always backup your game. Copy your save files and original game files. This step keeps your old game safe if you want to remove the mod. Also, check free space on your phone or PC. For the compressed 800 MB file, free up at least 1.5 GB to be safe.

How to backup saves

On Android, use a file manager to copy the PPSSPP/SAVEDATA folder to another folder or to cloud. On PC, copy the game folder. If something goes wrong, you can restore these files and go back to your original game.

Update PPSSPP

Use the latest PPSSPP build from a trusted source. New PPSSPP versions fix bugs and support more features. Old versions may not read new kit files or textures well.

How to install kits, balls, and boots (step-by-step)

Here are clear steps you can follow. This guide does not include direct download links. After you obtain the pack from your trusted source, follow these steps to add the files to your game.

Step 1 — Extract files

After you download, use a zip app or file manager to extract. You will see folders named like kits, balls, boots, or sometimes textures. Read any readme file and follow the modder notes.

Step 2 — Find the game folder

On Android, PPSSPP stores games in /sdcard/PSP/GAME/ or /storage/emulated/0/PSP/GAME/. On PC, it is where you keep your PPSSPP games. Copy the kit folders to the game folder. If the mod wants you to replace files, make a copy of the original first.

Step 3 — Put kits in the right place

Some kits use a texture swap method. That means you replace certain texture files in the TEXTURES folder. Other kits use a menu install method and show up inside the game. Follow the readme. If kits do not appear, check that folder names match exactly and that you did not miss a step.

Step 4 — Add balls and boots

Balls and boots often behave like kits. Move their folders into the same texture or custom folder. Some packs need a small edit in a file to point the game to the new balls. Read any small instructions the mod maker gave.

Step 5 — Clear shader cache and restart

After you add the files, open PPSSPP and go to Settings → Debug → Clear shader cache. This step helps the game read new textures. Then, restart PPSSPP and start a match to test. If you see old images, clear cache again or recheck the file path.

How kits, balls, and boots are mapped in the game

Understanding mapping helps fix mistakes. Most mods place textures in folders that match the game team IDs. In simple words: each team has a number and the mod places kit textures where that number is. If the kit goes to the wrong team, check the team ID mapping file. Most mod packs include a small list to help you match kits to teams.

Minikits and menu icons

Minikits are small preview images the game shows in menus. If your minikits look wrong, check the minikit folder. The names must match the team id names. If a minikit is missing, the menu shows a default image instead.

Best PPSSPP settings for clear kits and smooth play

Use these settings to see nice textures while keeping smooth speed. You will need a good phone and test each change until the game feels right for your device.

High-end devices

• Rendering Resolution: 3x–6x
• Texture Scaling: On (set to high)
• Rendering Backend: Vulkan for Android, OpenGL or Vulkan on PC
• Frameskip: Off

Mid-range devices

• Rendering Resolution: 2x–3x
• Texture Scaling: On but lower
• Frameskip: 0–1 if needed
• Turn off heavy shaders

Low-end devices

• Rendering Resolution: 1x–1.5x
• Texture Scaling: Off
• Frameskip: 1–2 as needed
• Use OpenGL if Vulkan causes trouble

Extra tips

Clear the shader cache after big changes. Close other apps. Turn on "I/O on thread" if your device supports it. This often helps load textures faster and avoids stutter during matches.

How to keep kits and boots up to date

Modders release updates. Updates can add new kits, fix wrong team IDs, or add more boots. Check the mod page for updates. When there is an update, follow the same install step. Keep a copy of your custom choices so you can restore them after an update.

Optional packs

Some modders add optional packs like "legend boots" or "classic balls". These are not needed, but you can add them later. If you add many optional packs, the game folder becomes large. Use SD card storage or external disk to keep space free.

People Also Ask

Can I use custom kits and still play online?

Most PPSSPP play is offline. If you use custom kits and try online play, you may face issues. Mods are best used offline. Online features of stock games may not work with mods.

How big is the kits, balls, and boots pack?

Sizes vary. Some packs are small (300–500 MB), others are larger. A good compressed pack is about 800 MB. After extraction, size may grow so keep at least 1.5 GB free space.

Will kits replace my old kits?

Yes, if the mod tells you to overwrite files. That is why backups are important. Always copy the original files before you replace them.

How do I change a wrong kit to the right team?

Open the pack folder and find the file that holds team IDs. Then rename or move the kit file to the correct team ID folder. If you are not sure, ask in the mod comments or check the pack readme. Many packs include a simple map list to help you match IDs.

Common problems and fixes

Below are simple fixes for common issues with kits, balls, and boots.

Kits not showing

Check the folder path. The game needs the files in the right place. Also clear shader cache and restart PPSSPP. If the problem continues, re-extract and copy again.

Wrong kit on team

This happens when the kit folder name does not match the team ID. Open the mod readme to find the correct ID list. Rename the folder or file to match the ID.

Missing ball textures or black ball

Balls are textures too. Check that the ball textures are in the texture folder the game uses. If the ball is black, try changing the rendering backend or re-enable texture scaling.

Game crashes after install

Remove optional large packs and test again. If the game still crashes, restore your backup and add packs one by one to find the problem pack.

Tips to make your kit pack look great

Small steps can make a big difference. Try these tips to make kits and boots look better in-game.

Use proper texture scale

Textures that are too large may slow the game. Use a smart scale: not too high and not too low. Test each scale until you see the right sharpness and speed.

Match minikits with full kits

When you add kits, add matching minikits. This keeps menus clean and right. It looks better when you pick teams in the lineup screen.

Use good ball models

Choose balls made for your match camera. Some ball models look great in broadcast cam but not in close cams. Pick the ball that looks best in your camera choice.

Pick boots with clear textures

Boots with clear markings look better in replays. Also choose boots that match player positions. For example, fast players often use light, colorful boots.
