# JGR Portable: a native PSP reconstruction of Jet Grind Radio

> JGR Portable rebuilds Jet Grind Radio as a native PSP game using reconstructed game and DSP behavior. Its conversion tools process a user-supplied Dreamcast GDI image locally into the data needed by the PSP program. The repository includes PSP source, format converters and build documentation; the author describes performance as scene-dependent.
