PSF initially stood only for "PlayStation Sound Format", but with the addition of the PSF2, SSF (Sega Saturn Sound Format), DSF (Dreamcast Sound Format), USF (Nintendo Ultra 64 Sound Format), QSF (Capcom Q-Sound Format), and GSF (Gameboy Advance Sound Format) subformats, a more generic backronym was developed: Portable Sound Format.
