The PSP has a hibernate mode, which saves your exact position when you turn off the console. When you turn on the console, you will be in the exact same position, whether in the PSP system menus, or actually playing a game.

To hibernate your PSP, simply push the power switch up for no more than 1 second. To turn off your PSP completely, hold the power switch up for 3 seconds.
