This is a PSP reversing challenge, so let's set up an [emulator](https://www.ppsspp.org/).

We are asked to press a bunch of buttons on the controller to reveal the key:


We can extract the ELF executable out of the PBP file and open in in Ghidra. The following is the function of interest:

```c
void _gp_6(int *param_1,int param_2)
{
int iVar1;
int iVar2;
int iVar3;
int iVar4;
int iVar5;
int iVar6;
int iVar7;
int iVar8;
int iVar9;
int iVar10;
int iVar11;
uint *local_50;
code *local_4c;
uint local_44;
undefined **local_40;
undefined4 local_3c;
undefined4 local_38;
undefined **local_30;
undefined4 local_2c;

iVar1 = *param_1;
iVar2 = param_1[1];
iVar8 = param_1[8];
iVar10 = param_1[7];
iVar11 = 0;
iVar3 = param_1[2];
iVar4 = param_1[3];
iVar5 = param_1[4];
iVar6 = param_1[5];
iVar7 = param_1[9];
iVar9 = param_1[6];
do {
local_2c = 1;
local_3c = 1;
local_4c = h8dc2c151a61fc5c7;
local_40 = &PTR_LOOP_0008b68c;
local_38 = 0;
local_44 = (uint)(byte)hd21e1c288d6314bc[iVar11] ^
iVar7 + iVar8 + iVar10 + iVar9 + iVar6 + iVar5 + iVar4 + iVar3 + iVar2 + iVar1 +
param_2 & 0xffU;
local_50 = &local_44;
local_30 = (undefined **)&local_50;
h3ee82e4c30d7dcbc(&local_40);
iVar11 = iVar11 + 4;
} while (iVar11 != 0x120);
local_3c = 1;
local_30 = &PTR_LOOP_0008b68c;
local_40 = &PTR_DAT_0008b684;
local_2c = 0;
local_38 = 0;
h3ee82e4c30d7dcbc(&local_40);
return;
}
```

Here data at location ```hd21e1c288d6314bc``` is XORed with codes from button presses. Instead of digging further let's simply bruteforce the code in CyberChef:


Bingo! The flag is ```inctf{s3xy_lil_machine_running_at_333mhz}```.
