Why don't you make it open source and set up a public git repository and task tracker which allows to upload patches? That way you can lure casual contributors.

just playing around with a homebrew of my own without any /custom firmware/ just my 6.60 system software, psp-2001 running with hen( a temporary soft mod that does no harm to the psp if you are sure your using the right version ) Just thought I would share
To bad its just a background and the duck I used for an icon to move around with the arrow keys.

Just extract this put the EBOOT.PBP file into the game folder and run it on the psp. This will allow you to use the EBOOT files you make.

I tried to port tmw to to the psp, I was successful in compiling the client but couldn't get the SDL net stuff working properly so I could never connect to a server.
Edit: Had a look at my old source code and figured out why I could always connect to login server but never negotiate fully with char server... game initially designed for little endian system and PSP is big endian so incoming packets being misread and outgoing packets getting mangled.
I may pick it up again at some point, but the version I ported is like 0.0.29.1.

Works pretty fine on my Optimus Speed, though. There isn't an alternativ but if the creator of this app could add the latest updates (Some of the latest graphics are missing and the client doesn't render them properly. Not sure why this happens at all since the client does catch updates online.) I'm sure this would attract more players.
The control is also alright and it is definitely possible to play the game. Basically, all features of the PC client are also implemented in this client, even chatting. If someone could contact the creator and ask for the source code, it is definitely a great starting point for a mobile version.

It's GPL software, so the author has to make the sourcecode available. Otherwise it is a violation of our copyright.

It is avaiable, on demand. But really, developing this would be a huge step for TMW.

Got it working, but the screen is kinda too small to make it playable...

Nice, to make it playable you need to add a mobile/handheld gui.
The wesnoth port for IOS did a great job with that.

I reduced the font size and scaled some of the windows down and it plays ok until it crashes. I have the old fat PSP with 32MB of RAM so I keep running out of memory. One of the slim PSPs could handle it no problem.

Ported one of the newer clients hoping it'd have a little bit better memory management.... but nope

The memory caching strategy of the Mana client is optimized for desktop PCs which rarely have less than a GB of memory nowadays, and even the oldest machines still have several 100MB.
Reducing the caching time of unused resource files (maybe remove it completely) could reduce the memory footprint a lot. Most of the files in memory are graphics. To reduce the required memory you could load them in a lower color depth. The difference between 32bit and 16bit color depth is invisible with most graphics, and even 8bit color depth looks still OK.
Audio files could also be a factor. Omitting them could save a few vital MB.

Yeah, I got rid of the audio and removed the ambient layer. That improved it some... I think I will go for the colour conversion though to free up some memory, as I don't think it's getting far enough to cache anything yet. Really only have 20MB to play with and with all the different threads running and network modules loaded into stack space, only leaves about 19MB for the heap.
