Hi, I recently downloaded a game online. It is a .7z file. I opened it up to find a file names "(games name).bin". Now, to my knowledge, I think i need a pbp file as well inorder for it to work since my other ones are like that (they were not .7z files). Anyone have any ideas to make it work out?

First you need to extract the files from the archive using winRar or something like that.
Now you have the .bin image of the PS1 game, then you need to use a converter to turn it into an eboot. Personally, I use ICETEA, which can be downloaded from HERE. All you need to do is choose the file you want to convert (to chose a .bin file, just change the file type from .img to .bin), and set the compression level to Best Compression which will save a lot of space without effecting gameplay. Fill in the Game Title how you want to see it in the XMB, and click onto the advanced tab. Here you can add the game icon and the full screen background for when the game is highlighted on the XMB, although they must be in .png image format. There are a number of other options such as the sound it will play when highlighted etc, but i never mess with these as i dont really see the point.
NB: it is not nessesary to add images and backgrounds. If you do not want to, simply skip this step.
Click CONVERT, and let the program do its thing. You will be given a folder with an eboot file in it when the program finishes.
Next, download THIS GUI by danny_kay1710. unzip the .rar, and go to the FILES folder. Copy the file called Keys.bin, and paste it into the output folder from ICETEA, which contains the eboot.
Now, rename the folder contaning your eboot and the keys.bin files to the name of the game, and copy the entire folder.
Now, connect your PSP to your PC, and go to USB CONNECTION under the setting tab on the XMB. Enter the PSP folder, and then the GAME folder. Paste the folder containg the eboot and the Keys.bin into the GAME folder, so the path should be as follows:
x:\PSP\GAME\NAME OF YOUR PSX GAME, and in that file there should be the Keys.bin and your eboot file. Press O on your PSP, and go to the GAME section. Select Memory card, and your PSX game should be displayed.
Hope thats easy enough to understand, its quite a simple process once you get your head around it.
If that doesnt work or you need anymore help just give me a shout. Hope it works out for you.
