Regarding PSX ROM format for RetroPie. So I found a version of the ROM that came in a BIN file format and it still isn't being recognized by the emulator.

Choose a save location and then press the button down below. ImgBurn will create a BIN and CUE file, which are a bit-for-bit exact copy of our game. Step 2: Transfer the Game Files to Your Nexus 7 Transfer both the BIN and CUE files over to your Nexus 7 tablet or other Android device using your USB cable. I just have mine in a folder called PS1. Just make sure both BIN and CUE files are in the same folder! Step 3: Install a PS1 Emulator on Your Nexus 7 Head over to the Play Store and install. This is a very powerful app that can emulate a wide variety of gaming systems, and it works really well with PlayStation 1 games using a PCSX ReARMed based emulator.

Playstation games take up a lot of space. A real shame. You COULD remove the dummy files inside them if you wanted.

(Dummy files pad out the disc image to improve load times on real systems.) But this is a mess. I tried it and wound up with a nonworking game. Thankfully, PCSX-ReARMed supports PSP EBOOTs, which take up less space. To give you an idea, I cut Armored Core down from 500 to 246 MB! You will need a Playstation 1 game, whether you ripped your own or not.

ISO, CUE, BIN, PBP, IMG, or MDF files will work. If you have the original disc, you will need to rip it before you start. If your rip has '.ecm' at the end of the filename, you will need to treat it with before you start (simply drag the file onto the program). Step 1 It's supposedly Windows only, but it works perfectly in WINE if you install the Visual Basic 6 runtime (you can do so via Winetricks). Extract the contents of the archive and put them wherever you'd like. Step 2 Go down to 'Customize the EBOOT' and uncheck all of the boxes.

These are for the PSP menu (icon, sound effect, screenshot, etc). No need for any of that here, it'll just take up space. Step 3 Load your game in 'PSX Image File', and select where you'd like it to output the result. If you have a CUE file, make sure to select that. Otherwise, the disc image itself will do.

Set the compression up to 9. The better the compression, the less space the game takes up, but the slower it loads.

I've found that the loading times aren't too bothersome anyway, so don't worry about that. You can also ignore the contents of the second box. Step 4 Hit 'Go' and wait!

It'll take a few minutes for a game to be converted. The file should end up as 'EBOOT.PBP'. Rename it to whatever you'd like, and you're done! The file is ready to be used! Thanks to Wally for his help! Click to expand.eboot is the native 'executable' format of the PSP. It's the PND of PSP, if you will.

All the PSPs download games, whether it be PSX or actual PSP games and demos are in eboot, including firmware upgrades and most homebrew. As far as PS1 games on the PSP, as I understand it the core the PSP is basically just an upgraded PS1, so it doesn't require a full emulator, just some extra work to move stuff around a bit. Kinda like virtualization on a PC, I think, but not exactly. Maybe more like WINE? Somewhere between the two. Eboot is the native 'executable' format of the PSP.
