Exophase has stopped working on the PSP version of GpSP, in favor of the GP2X and Pandora versions of gpSP. Future versions of gpSP will be closed source due to the constant third-party re-release of gpSP against Exophase's wishes. | Exophase has stopped working on the PSP version of GpSP, in favor of the GP2X and Pandora versions of gpSP.
