The PlayStation Portable homebrew community was one of the most dynamic and successful modding initiatives in the history of consumer electronics. It went from a small operation to bring out the most of the first affordable mobile computing device, and managed to rescue exploit after exploit from the jaws of defeat.

Welcome to the BASLQC PSP Homebrew Wikibook,
dedicated to preserving homebrew on the PSP.

Yet now their achievements are stuck in obscurity, disappearing under the curses of code and link rot. We need to save, restore, and liquidate what we can salvage from the ruins of the forums and the bottomless depths of the file archives.

This Wikibook has been produced to help nostalgic users revive their PSP systems, and function as a final testament to their accomplishments.
