PSPKVM is in a project to enable MIDP/JavaME applications such as mobile games, to run on PSP. Originally developed by sleeper, the project was merged with pspMe on February 12 2008.The two developers decided to continue by keeping the better advantage from both projects. On March 31, before April Fools, they updated the KVM to version 0.3.0 slightly increasing the interface and playable applications.
Features:
*MIDP 2.0 *Nokia UI APIs (partial) *WMA1.1(JSR120) stub *Networking (By PSP's WIFI) *Java AMS with MVM supporting *Several input methods: QWERTY/Abc/Symbol/... *Directly browse and run from local jad/jar file, and auto-install without interrupting *Jpeg support *MIDI & Wave audio playback support *Device emulation. You can choose device type to emulate for different screen sizes and key codes. *Change default key assignment for specific application. *JSR75(File Connection) *Virtual Keyboard Input + Chinese Input Method *Sony OSK Input (OE version only) *JSR179 (GPS) (OE version only) *Freetype2 font rendering *JSR226 (SVG) *JSR172 (Web Service)
Usage
Start PSPKVM and select a .jar file in the Memory stick to run. The default device is SE K800i, user can press Triangle to select another device, such as Nokia S60, Motolora Triplets, and etc, the last selected device will be loaded on next starting.
Compatibility Status
There is actually a compatibility list made by sleeper after release of version 0.0.8. You can consult it here

Version History + Changelog
Versions:
v0.5.4 (2009-10-26)
-AMS changes:
* The AMS supports folders.
* Virtual keyboards and Freetype setup are now configured in the GUI, not in the .ini.
-UI changes:
* There's a Danzeff-style virtual keyboard available now.
* The semichordal board supports Greek and Cyrillic scripts
* The X/O keys are now fully switchable system-wide
* The Danzeff and semichordal boards support a 'smart display' feature, in which they move out of the way of the active input area in large text boxes.
* Built-in font now supports basic Cyrillic characters in Unicode range 0x0400 to 0x045f (should support Russian, Ukrainian, Macedonian, Byelorussian).
* The FreeType font system now supports all three fonts (proportional, monospace,system) and bold, italic, bold/italic faces for all three, in addition to a utility
font for speeding up certain system GUI displays, a 'fallback font' useful for large Han (CJK) fonts, and uses the FreeType portable cache manager to speed
rendering and allow loading much larger font files than previously.
- Bug fixes:
* Resolve bug of media playback via "file://" URL. We-Travel voice playback bug should be fixed.
* There are fixes to network setup that *should* prevent unrecoverable network dropout issue in previous builds. Generally, reconnecting from the Wifi Manager
