## What it is
An open-source SDK of libraries and tools for developing homebrew software for Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP). It provides OS stub libraries, 2D/3D graphics (libGU/libGUM), audio playback, runtime support, and build tools for creating executables and PRX modules.

## Use cases
- develop homebrew games for the PSP
- write PSP apps that run on custom firmware
- build 3D graphics programs using PSP hardware acceleration
- create PRX modules for the PSP
- play PCM audio in a PSP homebrew app
- convert binary assets into C source for PSP builds

## When to choose
- you want to write C/C++ homebrew for the PSP
- you need low-level access to PSP OS, graphics, wifi, or audio APIs
- you want an open-source, community-maintained PSP toolchain companion

## When to avoid
- you target modern consoles or platforms other than the PSP
- you need official Sony SDK features or licensing
- you want a high-level game engine rather than low-level libraries
