Psx2psp 1.4.2 Now
PSX2PSP v1.4.2 is a legacy Windows-based graphical utility designed to convert PlayStation 1 (PSX/PS1) disc images (ISO, BIN, IMG, etc.) into the native EBOOT.PBP format used by Sony’s PlayStation Portable (PSP) for its official PS1 emulator (POPS). Released in the late 2000s, this version represents a mature, stable iteration of the tool, known for its balance between user-friendly features and advanced customization options. While largely superseded by modern all-in-one emulation tools, it remains a reliable choice for retro enthusiasts running custom firmware on original PSP hardware.
