How to Add PS1 Games Onto My PSP 3000 Without Custom Firmware

The PSP-3000 is a portable gaming system released by Sony that features a screen with better brightness and color definition than previous iterations of the PSP system. The PSP-3000 cannot run a large portion of custom firmware installations due to digital rights management, leaving users with fewer options for their systems than the older PSP models. Thankfully, there is a growing collection of PS1 titles available for download directly from the PSP system, using the PlayStation Store. Downloading new PS1 games should only take a few minutes to complete.
