foo_input_psf is a decoder component that adds playback support for PSF, PSF2, miniPSF and miniPSF2 files ripped from PlayStation and PlayStation 2 discs to foobar2000.

It is based on foo_psf by Christopher Snowhill (kode54).
It uses the PS1 and PS2 Sound Emulator Library (Highly_Experimental) by Neill Corlett and the PSF Parser Library (PSFlib).

PSF/PSF2 soundtracks can be distributed as a single ".psf"/".psf2" file per song (with a lot of redundant data) or as a set of ".minipsf"/".minips2" and ".psflib"/".psf2lib" files, where all redundant data is stored together in a single ".psflib"/".psf2lib" file and the data unique to each song is stored in the ".minipsf"/".minipsf2" files.

The PSF format (originally PlayStation Sound Format, now renamed to Portable Sound Format) was created in 2002 by Neill Corlett, also the author of the Highly Experimental Winamp plugin.
