How to Transfer PS1 Games From a PC to a PSP

The Sony PlayStation 1 was the first home video-game console that Sony created in the mid-1990s. The PlayStation Portable is the first portable video-game device from Sony and was released in 2005. The PSP can play PS1 games, but they need to be converted into a playable PSP format, which is the eboot file format. The only program that can do this is called PSX2PSP. This program allows you to convert any of your PS1 games to the eboot format and play them on your PSP.
