The '''Sony PlayStation Portable''', or '''Sony PSP''', is a portable game system released by Sony in 2004. The PSP-1000, PSP-2000, and PSP-3000 systems are nearly the same, with the PSP-3000 having a different pixel layout on the screen. The PSP Go in 2009 has a smaller screen and different hardware layout. The PSP line was succeeded by the [[PlayStation Vita]] in December 2011.

==Homebrew==
The PSP, now that Sony isn't actively focused on stopping homebrew for the system, is surprisingly simple to deploy code to. Using the [[pspdev]] toolchain and [[gLib2d]] graphics library, the example files provided give a solid development foundation. After the build process, the files can be copied to a memory stick. Once a custom firmware has been installed to the PSP, it will boot your software straight from the memory card.
