...well, actually, that's not correct. I suppose you could install Linux and emulate a PS1 that way. Then you'd just put your files onto the Linux part of the hard drive, and you should be able to play it.
But if you're gonna snatch some ISOs off the net, you may as well just play them on your PC. Most modern PCs (and heck, even some older computers like my 2.44GHz Pentium 4) can emulate the PS1 without any major hiccups.

You can probably play PS1 backups using the Swap Switch (see the thread somewhere around here), but it involves some basic soldering and technical know-how. You'll also have to open your PS3, which would void the warranty, so... yeah.
And I just realized that you should be able to buy some PS1 games from the PSN. Sure, you'd have to pay for them, but they WOULD be backups on your hard drive, technically.
