The '''[[wikipedia:PlayStation Portable|PlayStation Portable]]''' (PSP) is a handheld game console made by [[wikipedia:Sony|Sony]]. The system was released in Japan on December 12, 2004, in North America on March 24, 2005, and in the [[wikipedia:PAL_region|PAL region]] on September 1, 2005. It was retailed for {{Inflation|USD|249|2005}}. 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]]:An [[High/Low_level_emulation|HLE approach]] PSP emulator and released in November 2012. Compatibility is higher than [[JPCSP]] and games runs significantly faster. Despite limitations in its [[#Hardware features|PSP hardware feature support]], PPSSPP shines as an emulator with [[#Enhancements|impressive enhancement capabilities]]. The emulator is currently capable of playing the vast majority of the PSP library, while [https://report.ppsspp.org/games?compat=unknown remaining 3675 titles are still unreported].

;[[JPCSP]]:An [[High/Low_level_emulation|LLE approach]] PSP emulator, and it requires the Java Runtime Environment to be installed. It is also slower compared to [[PPSSPP]], and it 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.

===UMD Drive===
During the era of the PlayStation Portable (PSP), "UMD Movie" was more common as it represented the main function of the format but as UMD adoption expanded beyond movies and included other types of video content such as TV shows, music videos, and documentaries, "UMD Video" became a more generic term to encompass the full range of applications. While UMD primarily focused on movies and video content, there was also some limited use of the format for UMD Music. However, it wasn't nearly as widespread as movie or other UMD Video content. UMD-PG on the other hand stands for UMD-Players Game, and it was used for a unique type of [[Home_Media_Player#Interactive_media|interactive media]] released on UMDs for the PlayStation Portable (PSP).

*PPSSPP has no UMD Video or UMD-PG support at the moment: [https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/4902 UMD Movie request] and [https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/11662 UMD Video and UMD-PG request] for PPSSPP. See [https://www.ppsspp.org/docs/faq/ PPSSPP FAQ: Can PPSSPP play UMD video discs?] section.
*JPCSP has [https://github.com/jpcsp/jpcsp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen%2Bclosed+umd+video+ partial UMD Video support] ([https://github.com/jpcsp/jpcsp/issues/388#issuecomment-1300530907 demonstration]). Also see [https://github.com/jpcsp/jpcsp/blob/master/src/jpcsp/GUI/UmdVideoPlayer.java UmdVideoPlayer.java] for how it's implemented.
*Adrenaline [https://old.reddit.com/r/VitaPiracy/comments/unb0r1/heres_how_to_watch_your_umd_movies_on_your_vita/ never had UMD Video support].

===XMB and apps===
:[https://www.psdevwiki.com/psp/index.php/XrossMediaBar PSDevWiki: XrossMediaBar]
The XrossMediaBar (pronounced "cross-media bar" and officially abbreviated as XMB) is a graphical user interface developed by Sony Computer Entertainment. You can launch various applications from this interface as well.

*[https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/14286 PPSSPP do not support XMB], but for better immersion with XMB-like interface there are additional UI features for PPSSPP such as;
:*You can use custom sound files for PPSSPP UI and game list navigation feedback sounds<ref>[https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/13225#issuecomment-776396995 PPSSPP pull request: add menu and interface sounds]</ref>. Also you can use custom sound files for RetroAchievement notifications<ref>[https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/pull/17725 PPSSPP pull request: Custom achievement sound effects]</ref>, for setting these up you need to set "Settings> UI Sounds: On", "UI Background animation: Waves" and "Theme: Default", after these you need to change .wav files from "\PPSSPP\assets" directory with your custom .wav files. Also there is a [https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/18393 feature request] for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlFkIjbWg2M intro sound] implementation to PPSSPP UI similar to XMB ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QrE_QYXaE4 concept demonstration]).
:*PPSSPP supports music playback when a game selected in the menu screen<ref>[https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/pull/6393 PPSSPP pull request: Play the game's SND0.AT3 when a game is selected in the menu and on the "game screen".]</ref> similar to XMB, but currently [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIQe8-wdC0g&t=98s there is no video support] on this screen for PPSSPP UI as "hrydgard" mentioned in that pull request.
:*PPSSPP supports background wallpaper change when when a game selected in the menu screen<ref>[https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/pull/6388 PPSSPP pull request: Show game background during controller/keyboard game selection]</ref> similar to XMB.
:*PPSSPP's UI font could be changed if you want. For this you need to change .TTF font file from "\PPSSPP\assets" directory with your custom .TTF font file but it needs to be renamed as “Roboto-Condensed.ttf” just like original PPSSPP one (easiest solution).<ref>[https://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=11332 PPSSPP forum: Where can I find PSP original font that supports full Unicode and can be used in emu?]</ref><ref>[https://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=16639 PPSSPP forum: Change font of PPSSPP]</ref>
*JPCSP is able to boot the official PSP VSH interface, though the menus are not yet working properly, it is currently only an alpha release.
