The crop of PSP VNs

I remember struggling finding these things (the discussion caused Sage to call Extrange "blind cod"), so in line with the previous public service for DS VNs, here's what I was able to find.

Toradora Portable (2009) - It was my first VN on PSP and entirely by accident I lucked upon something amazing. The story, the art, the voices - everything is top-notch. Also, the protagonist is voiced, which is a rarity and godsend for those with shaky Japanese. Every other VN requires you to take major ranks in speed-reading.

Tenshin Ranman (天神乱漫) (2010) - A modern take on generic school ren-ai.

No Fate! Only the power of will (2010) - Nothing is known, seems like some kind of a super-power alien princess or something. Cute designs. But again, protagonist is unvoiced.

ToHeart2 Portable (2009) - Basically a ToHeart for PSP. At least it's not some Remember My Memories shit.

Snow Portable (2007) - A Key game which is not Clannad. Reportedly all other Key novels were ported too, but details are sketchy.

Will o' Wisp, Hiiro no Kakera - some supernatural stuff by Idea Factory.

Memories off ~T-wave~ - nothing is known about it.

Like Life Every Hour - nothing is known about it, except that it's done by Hooksoft.

Little Busters Converted Edition - seems like a port of Little Busters.

One other thing, Idolmaster Portable has a VN component, and in addition to non-voiced player, it also has timed choices with right-hand selections (square - triangle - circle). It's madness. However, I saw a Nico-nico video which seems to have it voiced (very poorly - almost sounds like a text-to-speech output). Maybe it's a setting which I cannot find.

UPDATE: Guncannon points out that I missed Yoakena. Well, duh. Also, Snow is not a Key game, but only had a writer from Key.

Crescent Love (Yoake Yori Ruriiro na Portable) (2010) - Feena. Need I say more? It better not be butchered by the PSP release (obviously all the sex is out as usual, but aside from that). Port of the August Soft game is done by Aria and... Kadokawa (wasn't it purely a rights holding?).

Mirai Nikki (2010) - based on a highly acclaimed manga with a stalker girl.
