PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient is a puzzle game for the PlayStation Portable. The game is known as Practical IQ in Europe. The game's framework is centered on discovering the player's "practical intelligence quotient," by completing a test consisting of 100 puzzles. The player controls a white, human-like avatar who can interact with the game world. The puzzles are all logic-based, and include a variety of tasks, from rearranging blocks to avoiding security guards to operating machinery. In most of the levels, an exit must be reached to complete that stage. After clearing all 100 levels, the player's score is determined based on how long each stage took, among other variables. The player's PQ can be taken online and be compared with other players' scores. A sequel to this game, PQ2: Practical Intelligence Quotient 2, has been released. PQ is notable for being the first published game from D3 Publisher in North America. |
There are two components for playing a psp PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient rom on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psp OS and software.
The second component is the PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient rom itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest PPSSPP – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading PPSSPP, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the PPSSPPWindows.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient rom. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to PPSSPP and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
