Yeah there are two of them. One is PSP VBA which is real slow. The other is gpsp which is full speed. It is the nicer of the two. For the gpsp you need to find the gba bios for it to work. Don't ask for it here because it's against the rules to ask for tha kind of stuff.

Yep, gpsp is great! It even supports ROMs in .zip files, which hugely decrease the amount of space they take up. For example, Pokemon Emerald goes from 16MB to 4MB!

And to find the GBA BIOS, Google 'gba_bios.rar'. A few results down, there should be one in Russian, it's there.

I don't know about the cheats, but go to psp-hacks.com or any other major psp homebrew website and look for it.

Took this from the readme

currently, gpSP supports some functionality of Gameshark/Pro Action Replay
cheat codes. To use these, you must first make a file with the same name
as the ROM you want the cheat code to apply to, but with the extension .cht.

To write a code, write the type of model it is, gameshark_v1, gameshark_v3,
PAR_v1, or PAR_v3. gameshark_v1/PAR_v1 and gameshark_v3/PAR_v3 respectively
are interchangeable, but v1 and v3 are not! So if you don't know which
version it is, try both to see if it'll work.

Then, after that, put a space and put the name you'd like to give the cheat.

On the next several lines, put each cheat code pair, which should look like
this:

AAAAAAAA BBBBBBBB

Then put a blank line when you're done with that code, and start a new code
immediately after it. Here's an example of what a cheat file should look
like:

gameshark_v3 MarioInfHP
995fa0d9 0c6720d2

gameshark_v3 MarioMaxHP
21d58888 c5d0e432

gameshark_v3 InfHlthBat
6f4feadb 0581b00e
79af5dc6 5ce0d2b1
dbbd5995 44b801c9
65f8924d 2fbcd3c4

Also put it in the same dir as rom
