Save the date! PSP Homebrew Developer Conference on April 1st, 2023
The annual PSP Homebrew Developer conference (PSPHDC) is upon us, and no, it’s not a joke, it will happen on April 1st, from 1pm EST (5pm UTC). Tune in to their Youtube Channel (watch from the comfort of your home, or, I won’t judge, the office) for educative and entertaining talks about Homebrew development and hacks for Sony’s venerable portable console.
The conference will consist in short presentations about indie development (past, present, and future) for the portable console, as well about exploits.
Yes, the PSP is now fairly into the “retro” stage of a console’s life cycle, but it’s still in my opinion the best handheld that ever was! If you’re interested in console development, console exploits, or just curious in general, mark the date for a series of presentations on Youtube. Below, a more comprehensive list from the organizers:
- Nazi Zombies: Portable – NZ:P Team ; A 3D First Person shooter based on CoD Zombies!
