Super Stardust shouldn’t work on PSP. The lack of a second analog stick (which was used in the HD version to control shooting direction) should completely cripple the game. However, even with blasting now assigned to the face buttons, Super Stardust Portable manages to stand up as a pretty competent space-shooter.
