well check dictionary.com or google
sounds like something that edits hex...

Hex editors are basically file editors, but each byte is represented in hexidecimal (base 16 numbers) form.  This makes it easier to manipulate binary data.  For example, you may have tried to open a binary file, such as an EXE in Notepad?  If you do, you may notice that there's a whole load of junk, and is basically impossible to edit.  Hex editors make this task easier.

Here's a wikipedia article:

The decimal numeral system has ten as its base. (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

hexadecimal, or simply hex, is a numeral system with a base of 16 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F)

there are 10 kinds of people who understand binary, those who do and those who don't

and wat can they do for the psp

Some important PSP files are binary files which you can only edit with a hex editor. For instance the file containing the version info that shows in your System Info screen, you can change it to say 'Firmware Version: Pwnd PSP' instead of 'Firmware Version: 3.03'  if you change the hex file (or you use the homebrew version change program that was made to make this easier). Basically, if you don't know what a hex editor is you don't need one.

i think i know what you mean as in what hex editors are
when you open a file you'll see a bunch of random numbers and percents

is that what it does

Just download one and open a binary file (zip, rar, exe, bin, iso, whatever)
