- TFT LCD from the PSP (our thanks to Nathan at Sparkfun for helping us out with that)
- stereo audio CODEC
- stereo speakers
- headphone jack
- microphone
- couple of joysticks
- loads of buttons

The video below shows the processor board along with a PSP display stacked with pushbuttons, joysticks, a headphone jack and an onboard speaker.
