Developer Sep 5, 2013 265,961 31 If you have no clue how to run PSP Games on your PS3 thats ok this guide will walk you through it step by step. 1. Download a PSP ISO or CSO for whatever PSP game you wish to play on the PS3 for example if i wanted lets says Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core i would download the ISO for Crisis Core 2.Once you have the ISO or CSO of the game of your choice downloaded you need to download a program called PSPtoPS3 its a Graphic program for converting your PSP ISO into a .PKG File for installation on the PS3. The program you will need looks like this~ 3.Once you have that downloaded go ahead and select browse then select your PSP ISO or CSO 4.You have the choice of selecting either remaster or Minis some games work as only minis and some games work as only remasters however most games i've come across work fine with the remaster method so just select remaster. 5.Before you hit Build Package you can customize the ICON0 Pic which is the Picture that shows up when the game is selected and you can also change the title if you wish. 6.Once your finished with that just hit Build Package 7.Now your PSP ISO or CSO will be converted into a .pkg file 8. When its done copy the newly created .PKG file to a usb drive 9. Plug the USB Drive in to your PS3 and select install package files 10.Install the PKG 11. Thats it now your PSP game will show up on the Game section of the PS3 XMB 12. Have fun Also as a side not in order to enhance the quality of the PSP Game you need to go to Settings and then game settings and where it says PSP select Full Screen and now your PSP Game will show up in Full Screen and will look better too.

It said in the picture of the conversion program that it works with eboot files. Does this mean that I could possibly convert a PlayStation 1 ISO into a PSP eboot file, then convert it again through this program to turn it into a PS3 game? (If I'm mistaken and the PS3 is backwards compatible that far, then I must sound awfully silly right now.)

Yes just create a folder on your USB Drive called PSP and then inside that create a folder called SAVEDATA and then put your save inside there and then on the PS3 under the game section go to PSP Save data and select Copy and it will copy over the save data to your PS3

People that already have it, not sure whats going to happen but all i kow is that Sony are unhappy that people are using CFW on a PS3/PS4

It's resolution turns down when the game is launched. It's just like the PSP. BTW everyone an easier method is to install webmod using cobra and put the PSP iso into the webmod files.

I've been able to get 80% of the games I tried to work, but nothing has been flawless. Castlevania X slows way down during titles, Burnout's got lines on the screen and runs more slowly than it does on real hardware, Street Fighter Alpha 3 won't save, etc. Namco Museum won't run at all, locking up the PS3 tight. I'd really like to address the save issues in particular; even clicking the box for save temp fix doesn't help Alpha 3.

Will the psp games load saves then? If so you can download psp gamesaves and use those if possible i'm thinking.
