IMGburn-(Download HERE)
Simple Popstation GUI-(Download Here
Once your done downloading and installing IMGburn, Go ahead and put in your favorite PSX game into your cd-rom drive (where else?) Start Imgburn and on the top menu change the MODE to READ then wait.
This is where some PSX games don't work, if IMGburn gives you the message (Type not supported)-Multi-session disc then scroll down to the end of this Guide and read the troubleshooting section. If not lets keep going.
Press the button and convert your PSX disc to ISO. Once that's done with open Popstation and find your ISO file. Then select your output folder, if you want to customize your EBOOT with images refer to the Customizing eboot section of this guide.

CUSTOMIZING YOUR EBOOT
-------------------------------------------------
Needed
* Photoshop
I'm going to walk you though making image backrounds for your EBOOT.
I'm going to assume you have the picture you want as your EBOOT's thumbnail and the backround. Open up Photoshop Then import your image into Photoshop. Once it's up on the screen go to IMAGE>MODE and set it to 8 BIT COLOR. Then go to IMAGE>IMAGE SIZE
and set the dimensions to (for THUMBNAIL) 144, 80. (for BACKROUND) 480, 272. Once your done go to FILE>SAVE AS... and save it with what ever name, but MAKE SURE YOU SAVE IT AS A .PNG FILE!. Open up SIMPLE POPSTAION, and click customize EBOOT and follow the directions in Popstation to customize EBOOT. Once done just hit GO! again and let it Rebuild your EBOOT.
CONGRATS! you now have an image when you highlight your game on your PSP.
TROUBLESHOOTING
--------------------------------------------------
CA000008 (when booting game)- Something happend when you where making the ISO. Try making the ISO again.
-----------------------------
Multi-session disc - IMGburn does not read the PSX games with that tricky security sony put in them. the ONLY PROGRAM THAT (I know) WILL WORK IS ALCOHOL 120% I WILL NOT WRITE A GUIDE FOR A PROGRAM THAT IS NOT FREE AND/OR IS A TRIAL. EXECPT PHOTOSHOP.
