Homebrew developer Akop Karapetyan (uberjack) has released Handy PSP v0.95.1, an Atari Lynx emulator for the PSP portable. This is his first attempt at porting of Keith Wilkins' Handy Emulator, and from all indications it is a pretty good conversion.

Karapetyan pointed out that the sound emulation still isn't perfect and that he still isn't sure at the cause of this problem. Programmers who want to try their hand at fixing this problem should know that this application was coded in C and C++ while using the Graphical Utility toolkit for rendering. To compile the program, users will need zlib and libpng.

If you plan on downloading this Atari Lynx emulator for the PSP, be sure to go over the documentation included with the zipped file to avoid any problems with the homebrew.
