Official Sony PSP SDK

Edit on Github | Updated: 9th December 2024

Introduction

What versions of the SDK have been leaked?

  • Version 1.5.0 (psp_full_sdk_JSR) from 2005
  • Version 6.6.0 (psp_sdk_660) from 2011

This page will document the latest release version 6.6.0 as it is the most complete. The 1.5.0 JSR version only contains the files that get installed to C:\usr\local\psp\devkit on windows.

Wheras the more complete version also contains the ProDG installers and additional documentation.

What was included in the SDK?

Later versions of the SDK included the ProDG development kit provided by SN Systems, which provided a way to compile PSP games using Visual Studio 2005/2008/.NET as an alternative to the Cygwin (unix like) development environment provided in the rest of the SDK.

For information on the ProDG SDK we have a seperate post:

SN Systems ProDG PSP SDK

For more information check out this post.

High Level Documentation (/Docs)

/Docs

This folder contains documentation for the Technical Requirementments Checklist and some conference slides, along with the SN Systems ProDG documentation.

This folder also contains the following sub-directories:

  • SNTools - Documentation on SN Systems ProDG Tools
  • ConferenceContent - Password protected slides from conferences in 2005 in both English and Japanese
  • TRC - Technical Requirements Checklist - It contains important rules and restrictions for creating master discs for PSP games

The contents of the SNTools folder will not be discussed in this post as we have a sepeate page for all the SN Systems ProDG SDk information:

Conference Content

/Conference

This folder contains Powerpoint files from Sony seminars hosted in both February 2005 and July 2005, with the February content only being in Japanese but the July content being in both English and Japanese.

We can’t open these files as they are protected by a password and thus can’t describe what is in them.

One of the files was unencrypted (Seminar2005-02_VFPU-Japanese) and it’s from the Sony software development seminar that took place on 28th February 2005.

The VFPU session has this cool screenshot of a dragon example to show that the VFPU is suitable for real-time transformations of 3D models, such as animations: Dragon PSP example

Technical Requirements Checklist (/TRC)

/TRC

This folder contains the Technical Requirements Checklist that need to be followed in order to get Sony to green light a PSP game. It has strict brand guidelines on how to use the Sony and Playstation branding along with all the naming conventions in all the different langauges and PSP versions.

It also has a document of all the test cases that each game goes through before mastering.

This folder also contains the following sub-directories:

  • Logo - Adobe Illustrator (.ai) vector images of the allowed Sony logos

One of the test cases makes sure that all games that get published do not contain debug symbols unfortunetly:

It is forbidden to include the following types of files in the master in any form, even in archive format.

  • Data and files used only for development and debugging purposes such as program source files, executable files with symbols, map files, and driver modules used in title development
  • Data and files designed only for use on other platforms such as Windows wallpaper and screensavers

PSP PGF Fonts (pgf_archives_1.0.0)

/

This folder contains infromation on the officially supported fonts for PSP.

The PGF font format is a proprietary font format developed by Sony specifically for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). It is used to render text in PSP applications and games efficiently, taking into account the constraints of the PSP hardware. PGF stands for PlayStation Game Font, and it is part of the PSP’s system libraries.

They are mainly:

  • FTT-Matisse Pro Latin - serif font
  • FTT-NewRodin Pro Latin - san serif font
  • AsiaKNHH-SONY-uni - Korean font

In various different combinations such as bold italic etc

This folder also contains the following sub-directories for each size of the font, containing all the .pgf files for each variant (korean, japanese etc):

  • org - the original version of the font
  • 6pt - 6 point version of the font
  • 8pt - 8 point version of the font
  • 10pt - 10 point version of the font
  • 14pt - 14 point version of the font
  • 18pt - 18 point version of the font
  • 22pt - 22 point version of the font

Developers were free to use all the PGF files that are contained in this archive file via “libfont,” which is included in PSP Runtime Library 2.0.0 or later.

The files in this folder are described in the table below:

  • bin.windows - Windows version of the build tools such as compilers
  • bin.linux - Linux version of the build tools such as compilers
  • document - Main Documentation

Install instructions

When first recieving the devkit the developers had to run a few commands to install the SDK.

    Cygwin > cd /usr/local/psp
    Cygwin > unzip psp-utils-x.x.x-windows.zip
    Cygwin > cd ./devkit
    Cygwin > ./Install_e.bat

This will move the Linux commands in /usr/local/psp/devkit/bin to /usr/local/psp/devkit/bin.linux and will install commands for Windows XP. After installation, /usr/local/psp/devkit/bin.linux and /usr/local/psp/devkit/bin.windows may be deleted.

PSP Utils Binary Toolchain (/bin)

/bin

The /bin folder is the result of running the Install_e.bat install script, and copies the windows version of psp-utils into the /bin folder, where the linux versions are their by default. As such the contents of this folder will not be documented as they are the same as the contents in bin.linux and bin.windows folders.

Linux psp-utils (/bin.linux)

/bin.linux

This folder contains all the command line programs to build and debug PSP games in a Linux environment.

SMT are a group of web-based tools that support the development of applications with respect to the various PlayStation®Network communication services.

In the course of testing the behavior of applications in the communication services (such as the NP score ranking service, NP matching 2 service, and patch distribution service), SMT functions can be used to modify PlayStation®Network server settings and to obtain registered data.

The SMT Portal is a portal site for connecting to the various SMT tools and for managing all the user and organization privileges for the tools.

The “administrator”, the user who registered the NP Communication IDs and title IDs (product codes) for an organization, can set the access privileges for the organization and the organization’s users using the SMT Portal.

The PSP kernel loader can handle two types of object files. One is a relocatable object file format unique to the PSPTM kernel called a PRX file, and the other is a normal ELF executable object file. Every module that is loaded in memory is identified by a unique 32-bit ID called a module ID.

A PRX-format module can be used as a resident library. A resident library provides some of its functions to another module.

USB_Serial-Reference-English .pdf USB Serial Driver Reference, low level API documentation

BSOD is a module which, when erroneous processing occurs in a program on the DTP-H1500, if possible halts the program in that state and allows the conditions in which the error occurred to be observed.

It enables the values of registers and of the program counter, the state of threads, and the state of the synchronization primitives such as semaphores and event flags, to be observed as they were at the time when the crash occurred.

Graphics (/document/pdf/graphics)

/graphics

This folder contains documentation related to 3D gaphics such as the GMO 3d Model API and how the Graphics engine works.

The Graphics Engine manager (geman) is a service for controlling the Graphics Engine, which is the drawing engine of the PSPTM. geman provides functions for managing display lists (sequences of commands that are transferred to the Graphics Engine) as a queue. By using geman, an application can create and transfer display lists without being concerned with when drawing actually ends.
