To run your PSX games from your old disc's on your PSP, First off
you need Dark Alex's custom firmware. This guide is for 3.03oe-C &
3.10oe-A of his firmware, so get one of them if your not on them
already.
A cd/dvd when on a hard drive is named an image, there
as many types of images including: .iso, .img,
.bin, .mds. the list
goes on. ISO, IMG, BIN are most freqeuntly used.

Getting the PSX Disc Image Onto Your Hard Drive
-----------------------------------------
Note: If you already have the PSX Disc image, move on to:
Converting The Image To
PSP Format part of this tutorial.
- Download "Alcohol" from here:
Download
- Install "Alcohol" like any other application. (it needs a reboot
to install)
- After installing "Alcohol", Put a "PSX" disc into your cd/dvd
drive.(for this guide im using "Tony Hawks")
- Now, Open "Alcohol" if not already open.
- On the left hand side of the menu, under "MAIN", select "Image
Making Wizard".
- When a new window opens, select the drive your psx game is in.
- Next at the bottom of that window also you will see "Data
Types", Scroll through that menu & select "Playstation", Then press
next.
- In the next menu, under "Image Location", select were you want
the image saved to. (im going to save it on my desktop)
- Under "Image Name", write your games name there. (for me its
"Tony Hawks")
- Under "Image Format", Select "CloneCD Image file .CDD".
- Hit the "Start" button, to start reading the cd onto your Hard
Drive.
- If you get disc read error, please go back to step 7, over "Playstation",
select "Skip Read Error"
and carry on from there.
Note: Games may not work if a crucial file if skipped but most of the time it works ok.
- After it finishes, exit "Alcohol", then check were you saved the
image(mines on desktop), there should be three files there a IMG, a
CDD & a SUB file, thats it its completed it on your hard drive now.
(next is converting it to psp format)

Converting The Image To PSP Format
-----------------------------------
- Download "Simple Popstation GUI by Zinga Burga" from here:
Download
- Extract the download to a new folder. (use winrar to extract the
file, google will find it for you)
- Open "Simple Popstation GUI", Under "PSX Image File", Select the
.IMG file you made from ""Alcohol(mines on desktop).
- Under "Output Folder", leave it at default, so the converted
image with be left beside the original image.
- Under "Compression Level", choose the level you desire.
- There is a few minor, other options but i'm skipping them now as
they are for advanced users.
- Press "Go", A message may come up if your games pal, select yes
for it to continue, then let it convert the image to eboot(psp form) form.
- When finished, the application will ask do you want to transfer
the game to psp, press yes and have usb enabled on psp(you can choose no if you want).
- Once finished transferring, go to your game menu on psp, the
game will be found there, then press "X" to start.
- To manually put the file onto your psp's memorystick, just go to
were you saved the image to when using alcohol, beside that should be a folder with the same name as
your game, it has an Eboot.pbp within. Drag or copy that folder to X:\PSP\GAME\ on your memorystick(X
is your psp drive letter). Then follow step 9 again.
Note: If you want icons for the games, there is an option to add them in
Simple PopStationGUI. Here is
some premade one for you's:
