How to Convert PSX ISOS to Bins

PSX, or PlayStation ISOs are the PlayStation game images. The Sony PSP plays PSX ISO files once converted to BIN files. You convert the Sony PSX ISO files through the use of a few programs, and then you play the games on your PSP. Once you transferred the Sony PlayStation BIN files, you play the PSX games right off of your Sony PSP. The M33 firmware or an Open Edition Sony PSP is required to play PSX BIN games.
