*NOTE:
if you have a 1.5 psp system, please READ middle portion of this post
*ANOTHER NOTE:
1.51 and 1.52 PSP systems need to be updated to 2.00, then follow 2.00 instructions
*2.00 NOTE:
Read the bottom-est instructions
Step 1: Get a USB Type A to Mini Type B, or a cable named for PSP usage.
Step 2: Plug it into your PSP and PC.
Step 3: On the PSP, go to Settings -> USB Connection, and push X
Step 4: If you have Windows XP, a new window will pop up, looking like this
Step 5: Open the PSP directory
Step 6: Right click in the folder, go down to New -> Folder
Step 7: Rename the New Folder to GAME
Step 8: Open the GAME folder
Step 9: Make another new folder, name does not matter
Step 10: Place the EBOOT.PBP in the new folder. If it's a emulator, then you'll also need to place all of the appropriate roms in the same folder as EBOOT.PBP, after this, the psp will have access to all folders. If you have vba psp, it's more complicated. Pm me for that.
Step 11(optional): If you have more homebrew/emulators, repeat Step 9 untill all homebrews/emulators are added
Step 12: Done! If you have a version 1.0 PSP, simply press circle to leave the USB connection, press right untill game is selected, select Memory Stick, and you'll find it. If It says "Game could not be started" then you have 1.5, read below to see how to install on that.
1.5 USERS:
1. Download this file located at
http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/files/k...1.5_psp-dev.rar
2. It's in Spanish, so what you need to do is download any emulator/homebrew anywhere.
3. Open the file, and extract the EBOOT.PBP located inside it.
4. After installing the file mentioned in step 1, open the program.
5. Where it says "Nombre:" type down whatever you want the emulator/homebrew to be called, this does not effect the game.
6. Where it says "Fichero PBP:", click the "..." button, and locate the EBOOT.PBP file you extracted from step 3.
7. Where it says "Unidad PSP:", make sure your PSP is connected, and select the drive letter of your PSP.
8. After all that is inputted, click the "Generar ficheros" button. wait for it to finish.

As always make sure you own the orgainal game before downloadind any roms.
Also bewarned SNES emulation is very slow at the moment, so don't expect to play your fav games at full speed yet, The megadrive emulation however is excellent. Have fun and feel free to pm me if you have any problems
