Good proof of concept, more pieces of the puzzle are out

Its poorly explained in the thread, but this tool is not focused in psn, but in rebuilding PS1 games in ps3 format from a copy of the original disc

The fact is there is an .iso inside all "ps1 classic" games and "psp minis" games... and probably "ps2 classic" games
There are firmware modules (the ones labeled 9660) that can read this .iso format that is an standard of the industry

So theorically, if you can provide an .iso in the correct format (with the extended track info)... and with the hability of recreating his header and the rest of his structure you have a way to boot any ps1 game in any ps3 model

*obiously there is no 100% compatibility in the emulators itself, so some games will not run, but expect a big number to work

------------
With "psp minis"... there is no use because there are no minis discs to make a backup in .iso format

------------
With "ps2 classics" probably has some things in common with PS1... but also some different things... can be a bit more complicated (and compatibility very low with ps3 slims)
