January 25, 200917 yr My father and brother decided to buy a PSP 3000 recently (To play one game... go figure), and I heard that you can put emulators on it. I have a few PS1 games I'd like to play on it (as in, I have the disc itself sitting on my shelf), but I really don't have time to sit down in front of a TV and PS2 for a few hours to play those games. Does anyone know how I could go about: 1) Installing a PSX or PS1 emulator onto the PSP? 2) Make a ROM file from the actual game disc, and format it so it can be played on the PSP? It is currently updated with 4.20 firmware, and has a normal 1 GB memory stick in it. I do have the necessary USB cable as well. I've tried Google, but it brings me to guides for outdated firmware, or software that doesn't seem to work. Want to learn to Nex? The Nex Hunters are recruiting! Click for more information!
January 25, 200917 yr I think you have to downgrade to a lower firmware, or the emulators wont work. Veni, vidi, vici - Julius Caesar

At the moment, it has NO Custom Firmware, and thusly cannot run any emulators on it. In fact, you can't play emulators without custom firmware. What you've probably read is that the homebrew community has invented a HEN (Homebrew ENabler) for the PSP 3000 so that you can play Homebrew, including emulators, on it. It's using the Gripshift exploit, and without that particular game Homebrew won't work. Anyway...The only way to install PSX/PS1 games on a PSP is to run it through a converter, which makes it into an Eboot file to run it on the PSP. It cannot be made into a ROM. And it cannot be played unless you have a HEN or Custom Firmware. So technically, the PSP has a built in PS1 emulator in it to run those Eboots. With your 3000, you'll have to wait for the Second Kernal Exploit to be found and then they'll release the HEN. DO NOT update to 5.03 firmware, it patches the Gripshift exploit and prevents the HEN from working...So if you really want to play those games on the 3000, just wait it out. Alternatively, you can BUY the PSX/PS1 games through the PSN store, but that requires 5.03 firmware. Or, you could trade your 3000 in for an earlier brand, but I wouldn't. I love my 3000, and would happily await Homebrew and emulators. If you choose to wait, I can explain more about the Homebrew and such through PM.

January 25, 200917 yr You can't get Custom Firmware on a PSP-3000. So there is no way you can do it. I really don't think the PSP-3000 will ever be able to be downgraded. Sony did a good job this time. If I where you, return the PSP-3000 and shop around for a PSP-2000.

And besides, it isn't exactly his PSP, it's his Brothers, Fathers and his altogether, so they'd all have to agree...

Well he did say he bought it recently, so the firmware may be 5.0 +, where the exploit is fixed. And I really don't think there is hope. Just like the PS3, people are begging to get it hacked but it is pretty much untouchable.

There is always a loophole, and where there is a loophole there is a way. Besides, the PS3 can be hard modded and CFW can be installed...Or so I thought...Anyway, his is like mine, Shipped and packaged with 4.20 firmware pre-installed.

Yeah, my sisters came the same way also. I am also hoping it can be modded soon. The colour just beats the 2000s silly.
