If you just need to play PS1 games on PSP/PS3, consider downloading pre-converted EBOOTs from trustworthy archives, but converting your own discs (legally owned) is safest.

The PSP runs PS1 games via an internal emulator called POPS. Different firmware versions have different POPS compatibility. PSX2PSP 1.4.2 writes a POPS signature of your current PSP version. If a game fails (e.g., Tomb Raider crashes), install POPSLoader v2 on your PSP and force POPS version 3.80 or 4.01.
