It appears a French company has created a new development platform exclusively for the PSP, most recently used in Konami's Online Chess Kingdoms, called Virtools. The press release notes that "The Virtools framework brings together GUIs, graphical and text scripting, debug APIs- such as the behavior and render engines- as well as asset integration." Whatever that means. You can see it in action in the video above.

Just though you guys might want to know, Virtools is not a PSP programme, it is an open set of development tools that can be used for various applications, not just games. I used it on my animation course at uni. Pretty sure anyone can purchase it for about £6000, although this PSP compatible version may well be developer exclusive.
