The Sony PSP is a portable games console produced by Sony between 2004 and 2014. While always designed and marketed as a portable system, later models of the PSP introduced a TV out option which makes them of interest to users of upscalers.

Models
There were a total of five different hardware revisions. The first revision (PSP-1000) and the last (PSP Street or PSP-E1000) do NOT offer a TV/external display output option. The PSP-2000, PSP-3000 and PSP Go variants DO offer this option however.
When using the PSP with an external display, games are rendered at the 480 × 272 resolution of the PSP screen, rather than the standard 480p (720×480) resolution used for output. This means games are displayed with black windowboxing on the external display. To get around this limitation, an external video processor with picture zoom functionality is required.

Since the OSSC is a line doubler not a full blown video scaler, it cannot be used to zoom the PSPs output. It can however be used with another video scaler to produce a more pleasingly scaled image than would otherwise be possible.
480p linedouble and PSP
Using the OSSC's 480p line double mode with the PSP produces an image that is extremely sharp. This is useful when scaling the image using a secondary scaler such as a ABT/DVDO unit since these scalers typically produce a very soft image when used to zoom PSP games on their own.
