How to Convert PSX Multidisc Games to PSP

The Sony PSP is fully capable of playing the first generation of Sony PlayStation games. These games are referred to as "PSX" games. In order to play them on the PSP, they first need to be converted to the PSP game format. If you have multiple-disc games, you can simply convert all the discs and use the "Switch Discs" function located on the in-game menu.
