Here is a huge post with the most popular 50 homebrews and tools of the past year for the PSP and the Vita in our database. If you are new to the PSP/Vita scene, or if you’re looking for some exciting new content to try, this is what you are looking for! You can find more homebrews on /downloads, and don’t forget to add yours, and to rate your favorite ones. No login is required!
Most of the homebrews are compatible with both the PSP and the vita (in the case of the vita, you’ll need to run VHBL, TN-V, or equivalent tools. For the PSP, usually a custom Firmware is required)
This is a list generated from the community’s votes. If you want a “human-curated” list, check joel16’s Top 10 homebrews for 2014.

49. CyanogenMod PSP C
This isn’t a port of CyanogenMod for android, it’s a project created from scratch. It will never allow you to run android apps, the psp system doesn’t have the hardware capabilities to run android. It’s purpose is similar to that of “iR Shell”, but with a UI inspired by CyanogenMod. If developers are interested, feel free to contact me through my email: sauskethunderkid@gmail.com

34. Lamecraft
If you know the PC game Minecraft, you will feel at ease with this genesis entry which reuses the same concept: allowing grownups to play with blocks like little kids.

But Drakon has been restlessly updating this entry regularly for the past months, and each update is simply impressive.
Still need to be convinced? 10 days after the first release, there痴 already a massive community around this homebrew, and the release thread in our forums is already 23 pages long as I type this. This will quickly become a must-have in your homebrew library.
