A Modern Browser for the PlayStation Portable
What happened
The Sony PlayStation Portable, better known as the PSP, is now over two decades old. In its day it was an impressive handheld gaming machine, not least because of the inclusion of wireless networking and a web browser. Sony is a video game and electronics company based in Minato.
Powerful back in 2004,but leagues behind something that would run any modern web browser. The answer seems to be by careful choice of software components and use of the PSPโs built-in capabilities for jobs such as video decoding. The browser engine is Lexbor for example, while JavaScript (high-level programming language) is handled by QuickJS .
