When using ProCFW you can run lots of emulators.  Some are available at http://zx81.dcemu.co.uk/ but some of those are not free software, so you have to check. Other software which runs on ProCFW includes: Links2, PSP IRC, PSPMagic (EtchASketch clone), PSPwrite, Bookr, RenPSP, LuaPlayer.

This page collects info about free software firmware and operating systems for small computers. The goal is to help people free all their computers. You may also be interested in the wiki page for FSF' Giving Guide 2012.

  • RockBox - a mature project providing free replacement firmware for portable music players by Apple, Archos, Cowon, iriver, MPIO, Packard Bell, SanDisk, and Toshiba

PSP

  • ProCFW - homebrew, GPL'd firmware for the Sony Playstation Portable

An installation guide is available at http://wololo.net/cfw4dummies/

(wololo.net contains other pages with info about homebrew firmware, as well as a free software card-based game which they develop called Wagic)

When using ProCFW you can run lots of emulators. Some are available at http://zx81.dcemu.co.uk/ but some of those are not free software, so you have to check.
