[Guide] How to use the PS1P Emulator - and how to make your own bin's
Guide to PS1P Emulator
Setup
1. Download PS1P Here.
2. Unzip it.
3. Put the '__SCE__ps1p' and '%__SCE__ps1p' folders in your GAME folder on your memory stick.
Note: SE-A/B/B'/B''/C users put this in the GAME150 folder.
File Structure:
PSP
-GAME
--%__SCE__ps1p
---EBOOT.PBP
--__SCE__ps1p
---EBOOT.PBP
4. Get the scph1001.bin BIOS and put it in the '__SCE__ps1p' folder. (Don't ask me or anyone for the BIOS, go to google. The file size is 512kb)
5. Now you need your games. Only .bin, .iso, .img, Z and ZNX files are supported at this time. These go in the '__SCE__ps1p' folder.
5. Run PS1P from the GAME, the Memory stick on the PSP.
Controls
-Once you've started PS1P select your game and press O.
-In game controls are as normal except there is no R2 and L2.
-You can set the CPU/Frameskip by holding L + R buttons then pressing up and down.
-You can save state with L+R Left and load state L+R Right
Tips & Tricks
-The CPU is set at 700% as default, try taking it down to 100%-200%-300%-400% etc. and generally play for the best result on a game by game basis.
-Don't forget always read the readme, its why it's there.
Here's how to get bin's from your own games.
1. Download Iso Buster Here
2. Install Iso Buster
3. Insert your PS1 game into your CD drive.

6. Name the file whatever you want and tell it where to extract it to.
7. Once you click OK it will extract your CD as a bin file.
8. When its done that it will ask you to name and save a .cue file. You don't need this file, just click cancel.
9. Put the bin file in the '__SCE__ps1p' folder.
10. Rename the file with .bin at the end.
11. Unplug your PSP (remove hardware from computer) exit USB Mode, Scroll right to GAME, Memory Stick and then run PS1P.
12. Press O on your game and wait up to 2 minutes for it to load.
