The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is a handheld game console made by Sony. The system was released in Japan on December 12, 2004, in North America on March 24, 2005, and in the PAL region on September 1, 2005. It was retailed for $249. It had a MIPS R4000 CPU at 333 MHz with 32 MBs of RAM. Later revisions of the PSP came with 64 MBs of RAM, allowing for faster load times.
The PSP had one of the most active modding scenes of any handheld console starting from the very early days of its life, utilized for homebrew, emulation, and piracy. Additionally, the PSP's software architecture that required the use of Sony's static libraries for many console functions made the simple and fast HLE approach both reasonable and accurate. Emulation efforts began as early as 2006, with games booting two years later, although overall game compatibility was poor. This early work was used as a basis for PPSSPP at the start of the 2010s, which has developed PSP emulation into a polished, fast, and accurate experience.

Comparisons
- PPSSPP (compatibility, AdHoc compatibility, AdHoc compatibility#2)
- Released in November of 2012. Compatibility is higher than JPCSP and games runs significantly faster. The emulator is currently capable of playing the vast majority of the PSP library but remaining 3447 titles are unreported. Additionally, both the libretro core and standalone version of PPSSPP (as of v1.16's release) support the RetroAchievements service for players hunting video game achievements. The standalone version is highly recommended over the libretro core as the libretro core version can be slow/unstable, especially for mobile users.
- JPCSP
- Requires the Java Runtime Environment to be installed. It is also slower compared to PPSSPP. JPCSP was built around debugging and was never really meant to be a standard emulator. They made it so they could understand the PSP's inner workings better. Thanks to the JPCSP team, and other PSP homebrew teams, PPSSPP developed at breakneck speeds. Both teams communicate a lot and contribute with each other.
