TL;DR

A new Android frontend called Play Field Portal brings a PSP-like experience to Android devices.

The app copies Sony’s classic XMB interface, down to the icons and default wallpaper.

The developer confirmed that they used AI to develop the app, but it might not be a solely vibecoded effort.

There’s no shortage of great gaming-focused frontends on Android today. We’ve already seen the 3DS-style IISU app , but what if you want a throwback to the PlayStation Portable? That’s where this new Android app comes in.

Developer JohnnyCollado has released Play Field Portal on GitHub (via r/EmulationOnAndroid ). This new frontend is effectively a copy of the PSP’s XrossMediaBar (XMB) interface. That means we’ve got several main menu categories that can be scrolled through horizontally, such as Settings, Photo, Music, Video, Game, Network, and App Store. Sub-menu items appear below each main menu category. Even the menu icons and default background are in line with Sony’s old UI.

T-Mobile is bringing back its free DashPass offer tomorrow for eligible customers.

It will offer 12 months of free DoorDash deliveries, offers, and other members-only benefits.

The carrier is also offering cash back on dining, sweepstakes, and a limited-edition streetwear drop.

As part of its 10th anniversary, T-Mobile turned June into “ Member Month .” The carrier has been offering different perks and offers each week, including discounts on gas, movie tickets, F1 sweepstakes, and more. But one of the most-awaited perks is coming tomorrow: DashPass.

If you have been using the un-carrier’s DashPass perk from last year, this new one comes just in time to let you continue getting deliveries for free. Like last time, T-Mobile is offering 12 months of DashPass for free alongside other offers and members-only benefits that will be available throughout the year.
