Once again, I'm making a tutorial for those of you that have PM'd me.
DO NOT ASK FOR ISOs! The distribution of them is illegal.
Only use games that you own.
Ok, let's begin.
First, you will need to download Popstation or PSX2PSP. I'll add an attachment. You will need BASE.PBP (This is the PBP rip of the PSX BIOS. Google it! Do not ask me.)and you will need KEYS.BIN. After you get these two, put them in the Files folder for PSX2PSP.
After you download it, extract it to a folder. Go inside and run the .EXE or .BAT file. You will get and error saying that you need zlibwapi.dll
Go to Local Disc: (C) and search for it.
Put zlibwapi.dll in the same folder as PSX2PSP. After you run it, you will have a choice to pick the converter type. They're both the same, but I would pick theme mode to get a visual of what it will look like in the XMB.
Next you will need to get the disc ripper. Click here. This will be a free trial. (You won't have all functions) Install it which does take awhile so sorry. You will also have to reboot your system.
After installation, insert your PSX game in your CD drive. Click on Image Making Wizard. A file will pop-up in the A 120% window. Your game will be in there.
This is what the Wizard will look like. Your game will be in the box.
As shown in the spoiler, change the data type to Normal CD and press next. Change the file type to ISO. Choose the output location, and let it do its thing.
Once finished, go back to PSX2PSP. Click on Convert menu and choose your ISO file just made. All of the info you need will automatically be recognized by the converter.
If the game is apart of a disc set, it will say the disc number in the bottom, right corner.
Now let's make customize the EBOOT. Click the Customize PBP tab. To get some pretty good files for this, go here.
This site has all the files you need from ICON0 to the preview music. Find your game and pick anything to your likings. Open them in the corresponding location on PSX2PSP. The BOOT and Information Page is optional. My PBP is in the spoiler.
This what will be shown in the XMB. Once finished, go to the Options menu. (Bottom left corner.) Your options should look like this.
Now your ready to convert. Start the conversion under the Convert Menu. The time it takes will vary with the file size. Once finished, copy the resulting EBOOT to a folder. (or if it's already in one) Copy to the GAME folder on your PSP. NOT GAME3xx. Change the ISO mode to Sony NP9660. Go to your GAME on the XMB and you should see your game.
Now, you can start the game, but it might be lagging or glitchy in some ways. You will need the popsloader plugin. I have a complete one but i will only give it to you in a PM or over MSN. It has all the right PRXs needed for all Pops.
Done! Enjoy your classic PSX games now!
I will also be adding more things as they come.

This will help you for making the preview music for your game.

Ok! I will use a Chrono Cross FAQ and a
image as an example to explain on how to use it.
1) Copy the FAQ onto a notepad and save it watever name u like. (Here I will save it as Chrono Cross FAQ) and a image if u wan add tat is (I will name the image Chrono Cross Image)
2) Now open the PSPDocMakerGUI (I assume u extracted it already) and then click on PSPDocMaker. This should appear upon clicking it.
3)Click on the Options at the top right of the window, ok now look at the below spoiler for information on features of the GUI.
Shaded Area Feature Explanation:
Red(Compression) - Ranged 1-9, Recommend going for 9 as it reduce the file as small as possible and find tat there is no difference in viewing it on psp whether I set it at 1 or 9, so go for 9
Orange(Text Options) - Here is where u adjust how big u wan ur text(smallest is Size 8, tried 6 but no effect),changing of font and the bg colour for ur text 2 be viewed in the psp
Blue(Height) - How long u wan 1 page viewed on ur psp be (248 fits to the screen so no scrolling is needed, but pages will increase of course)
Black(Directory) - Well to make ur life slightly easier, this allow u change the default folder where u will be when u click on add text files,select files and create
Purple(Selection) - Add textfiles is where u add text files, select files is where u add images and create is when u wan cre8 the file.
Green(Game Code) - U totally no need care about the game code, just let it be as the creator stated the document is able to view in ANY game codes(Well not sure if is any but i tested with FF7 and Chrono Cross, no problems... So ignore and dun touch it.
4) Click on Add textfiles and add the FAQ tat u saved as .txt file and the image which u wan add by clicking on the select files button. This should appear after adding
5) Now I will set the compression to 9, height 248, MS Sans Serif white colour font and a black BG. After u finish setting the options u desire click on the create button on the btm right of the window and this should appear...
6) After around 4-5 mins, u will be prompt to save it in somewhere in ur PC, save it in any where u like.
7) Plug in ur psp through usb and copy the DOCUMENT.dat which u made just now into
ms0:/PSP/GAME/(PSX Game folder which has the EBOOT). Then unplug ur psp.
8) When u run ur PSX game in ur psp, press the home button, then scroll down to software manual and click on it which is where ur FAQ is in. Voila! This the pic and FAQ I put in as proof it works!
Note:
Step 1 - U can add multiple .txt files and images, is does not need 2 be 1 of each only.
Step 5 - The options, set it watever u like, I just setting it how I desire it 2 look on my psp.
Step 6 - The duration of how long it is needed to create the file depends mostly on how big the txt/image is and compression setting and also DUN RENAME THE DOCUMENT.DAT! or it will not work in ur psp.
Step 8 - The words are all being slightly realigned to fit into the psp screen, so is unwise to add texts which forms a pattern like a map or landscape.
!This tutorial is made for joomla12's PSX Installation Thread ONLY!
!He will decide whether 2 distribute it in other forums or not!
nice tut. i prefer zinga burga's PSGUI or also know as Simple Popstation Gui and it makes the keys.bin during teh conversion. also you can change the gameboot and everything and it supports about 5 diffreent image files. i have attached it to my replay if you want to try it out. very helpful.
