PS1 emulation is one of the most anticipated features for the PSP at the moment. You'll be able to download Riiiiidge Racer, and other PS1 classics to your PSP and play them on the go. Sony has been taking their time, and we've been waiting for any new information on things like price, available games, and interface. It appears that the homebrew community is sick of waiting-- it has just released its own emulator. Yoshihiro's PSX-P emulator will let you play bootleg PS1 games on the go, although the code is somewhat rough at the moment. To run it, you'll need an eLoader, which now supports firmware as high as 2.71.
While we don't support downloading illegal games, hopefully this new revelation will make Sony wake up and get the PS1 emulation to us now. I really want to get my hands on Castlevania: Symphony of the Night some time soon, damn it!

Whats needed now is a device to plug into the PSP's USB port that adds two more shoulder buttons and a second analog nub. It would be ugly but very practical for running PS1 games.

"bootleg PS1 games"
hmm.. I think its more for playing backups of games you own since its much easier to rip a cd game vs. a cartage. This emulator supports bin and iso, they are nothing more then image files of the cd/game.
I own over 20 PS1 games. I don’t think I should have to pay for them all over again just to play them on my psp.
