No, you can't play PSP games on a PS1.

Installing PSX4All took only 5 minutes, only had to copy the BIOS and it worked

I tested so far:

- Spyro 3 (Working quite fine, just the sound is a bit laggy)
- Diablo 1 (Works very fine, but its sadly crashing with strange blue spikes once you enter the dungeon. May Smoku can have a look at it? The whole game is working good except that)

I've been testing out a few games and the ones I've got working well at a playable speed are:

Driver
G-Darius
Grand Theft Auto
Hot Shots Golf
Mega Man Legends
Wipeout

Games that don't work are:
Soul Blade
Ponit Blank 2
Need For Speed
Nagano Winter Olympics
Gran Turismo
Destruction Derby
Destruction Derby 2
Crash Bandicoot
Crash Team Racing
Armoured Core
Ape Escape

I'll be testing a few more in a couple of days once I get round to converting them.

Confirmed, also games with issues will work with the alternate BIOS. Diablo works for example fine with the SCPH5702.bin, no more crashes in instances and even the videos / sound plays smooth!

I haven't tried any games myself, but planning to do it soon.

I compiled this list (Mostly copy & paste from the thread) for the games.
It is a mess, but at least you can look for your game there, and if you want more info, then look in the thread.

It would be nice if it is updated avery now and then, but I don't think I'll be able to do it.

cheers!

Interesting problem, using the cycle at 4 and frameskip at 4/5:

with 1001 bios: everything works except accessing the memory card (via title screen or in-game)

with HLE bios: game crashes zooming in on the first village after the giant wall o' text. Memory cards work properly. Performance, based on the title sequence, seems much worse despite equivalent framerate.

Any ideas?

test with frameskip 0/1

Looking for a decent game to screw around with with my PS3 controller. If I wanted to play RPGs I'd play SNES. Seriously keen for some action games, getting wipeout.. but nothing else comes to mind that would be expected to run well.

On topic:
Found Micro Machines runs almost 100% (with 0/1 FS and 1 multiplier at 850 MHz)
FF7 runs fine with x3 and 1/2 FS at 950 MHz

Wipeout 3 runs extremely well, playable at 600 mhz, flies at 1.15 ghz...

Frameskip 3/4, I had multiplier at 8, but noticed today that it meant the game was running fast. Setting it to 4 made it run about right, and fixed some odd behaviour that was happening.

Also, I noticed that if I let the intro animation play, every 5 - 10 secs in game the framerate would drop dramatically (ie 3-4 fps) and this would carry on even if I restarted the emulator and skipped the intro. The only way to fix it was to restart the device...

With in build bios:
Ridge Racer 4 Pal : Doesn't Even Start
Wip3out: Crash at Loading
Tekken 3: doesn't even start

With 1001 bios:
Ridge Racer 4 Pal : slow playable, perfect full motion video and sound! (cycle 4, frame skip 0/1)
Wip3out: Playable! Choppy full motion video (cycle 4, frame skip 0/1)
Tekken 3: doesn't even start
Fade to Black: Mess with polygons
Diablo: Fully Playable with sound! (cycle 4, frame skip 0/1)

What is cycle multiplier? I have read a lot of pages but i can't find an explanation...
