1 INTRODUCTIONAL RANT 12
1 Introductional Rant
If you don’t know what programming a machine down to the metal is all about, go away! no really, this document is not for you! if you
are seeking for advice on using existing solutions, such as SDKs or libraries, you will find little to none information that is of any use
for you and you might only become frustrated by figuring out how little you know. If you however aren’t afraid of numbers and want
to dare jumping into the snake-pit of semi-accurate information based on guesswork done by a bunch of freaks - feel invited. this was
made to give you what you need in the most compressed and visually pleasing form possible. Stuff that matters.
1.1 Things that are in this document
just about everything explicitly and specifically related to the PSP hard- and software internals and its programming. everything inside
the box is subject to be documented, may it be relevant for actual programming or not. its ment as a reference for everyone who wants
to know in all possible detail what makes this thing tick.
one more thing: please notice that this is a technical documentation which is presented for pure educational purposes and higher
learning, and not a moral lesson. i have decided against leaving out any information since i believe that information by itself should not
be crippled in any way. if you choose to abuse this information for any kind of illegal activities (PLEASE DON’T!) so be it, but don’t
bother me with it.
1.2 Things that are not in this document
several things were decided to not being put into this document because they didn’t fit into the ’technical documentation’ type of concept.
They may be documented seperatly some time but not now and not here. These things are:
Tips on Emulating the PSP on another Host system (this kind of information is only useful for a very limited number of people,
and additionally might be highly confusing and/or misleading for those who are writing actual PSP programs)
Instructions on using any tools that let you upload and execute code on the PSP, or any other development related tools except
anything related to setting up and using gcc as a cross-compiler targeted to the PSP.
anything related to gaming, cheat-codes and the like. (this is a tech-doc not a gaming FAQ!)
detailed and/or complete sourcecode, except when a formal explanation would just over-complicate things. (this is a documenta-
tion, not a code library)
anything related to playing/booting/copying pirated games (as you may have noticed, we do not support piracy!)
some of these may be arguable, so if you think they should be here - probably along the lines of the appendix - don’t hesitate to write
the chapter in question and send it to me. i might include it if you write it, but other than that i wont care (there is still enough other stuff
to complete).
1.3 Conventions
we count bits starting from 0, the most significant bit of a byte is bit 7. when visualising a byte the most significant bit comes first
(left), and the least significant bit comes last (right).
when dealing with 16- or 32 byte values all figures are in big endian byte order. this means that the most significant byte comes
first (left), and the least significant byte comes last (right). notice that this is not the way values are actually handled by the
allegrex cpu (since it is little endian).
if known (from patents or other freely available sources) we use the same terminology as Sony does, in particular we try to use the
same names and abbreviations for hardware registers, signals and the like as a weak attempt of providing consistency with other
existing documentation.
absolute memory addresses are shown as used in real world PSP Programs. For this matter we dont use physical adresses to avoid
confusion for the majority of our readers.
code snippets are in either real or pseudo C language. any logical or arithmetic expressions outside code snippets are loosely
simelar to C notation according to the following table:

1 INTRODUCTIONAL RANT 13
Description Symbol
logical or bitwhise AND &
logical or bitwhise OR |
logical or bitwhise exclusive OR ^
logical or bitwhise NOT (inverse) !
equality or assignment =
addition +
substraction -
multiplication *
division /
please notice that -outside code- we do not make a difference between logical and bitwhise operations. if in doubt the opera-
tion is bitwhise, it should however be clearly visible from the context.

3 HARDWARE OVERVIEW 19
R0...RH - Nineteen tuned-path traces leading over to the main processor. These appear to be address/control lines?
D0...D7 - 8-bit bus that leads from main processor, past button-cell and up from below (south of) the NAND chip.This could be
an 8-bit data bus?
J0...J6 - 7-bit bus emerging from VIAs near button cell, leading around to the north side of the NAND chip. This could be the
re-flashing control lines?
?? - Indicates a pin that is connected by a trace to a VIA beneath the NAND.
!! - Indicates a pin that is connected to a diagonal neighbor by a trace beneath the NAND chip.
!? - Indicates a pin that is connected to a diagonal neighbor by a trace beneath the NAND chip which also has a VIA.
