+PSn00bSDK is a 100% free and open source SDK project for the original Sony
+PlayStation for developing homebrew applications and games for the console
+100% freely. This SDK can be used for freeware, commercial, and open source
+homebrew projects.
+
+The SDK is composed mainly of libraries (libpsn00b) and some utilities that
+provide a basic framework for developing software for the PlayStation
+hardware, the compiler is separate (GCC) and should be acquired from GNU.
+The library API is intentionally written to resemble the library API of the
+official libraries as closely as possible. This design decision is not only
+for familiarity reasons to experienced programmers, but also so that existing
+sample code and tutorials would still apply to this SDK, as well as making
+the process of porting over existing homebrew originally made with official
+SDKs easier with minimal modification, provided it doesn't use libgs.
+
+PSn00bSDK is currently a work in progress and cannot really be considered
+production ready, but what is currently implemented should be enough to
+produce some interesting homebrew with the SDK, especially with its extensive
+support for the GPU and GTE hardware. There's no reason not to fully support
+hardware features of a target platform when said hardware features have been
+fully documented for years (nocash's PSX specs document in this case).
+
+Most of libpsn00b is written mostly in MIPS assembly, moreso functions that
+interface with the hardware. Many of the standard C functions are implemented
+in custom MIPS assembly instead of equivalents found in the BIOS ROM, for both
+stability (the BIOS libc implementation of the PlayStation is actually buggy)
+and performance reasons.
