PlayStation Portable



"Come out and play."

Sony's first handheld system. It was a major success in Japan, though Sony's strict localization policies stymied ability to competition with the Nintendo DS elsewhere. Despite that, its capability to natively emulate PSX titles and to run scaled down PS2 graphics has given it a vast library with large variety. Though much of the games remain Japan exclusive, fans have been hard at work to give them proper translations.

The system is easily cracked, allowing for a multitude of emulators, fan-made "ports" of PSX titles, some homebrews, and the ability to manually change the CPU clock.

The PSP 200x and later revisions had double the RAM. It wasn't used much by commercial games but can improve homebrew and emulator performance.
