I find FPS's to work nicely on the PSP. You just need to use the right controls. A good control scheme (used in most PSP FPS's) would be move/strafe with the face buttons, aim with the analog, fire with R, secondary fire/switch fire mode with L, and the D-pad is used for more complex things, ex: down=crouch, up=jump, left=reload, hold left=flashlight (or another special function), right=last weapon used, hold right=show all weapons and go to the next weapon with R and previous weapon with L (while holding), select = use (or another special function). And then you could hold up/down on the D-pad for even more controls.

It's not.

The closest you'd get is making an interpreter for the assets. But that takes a little more time than posting on a forum.
