• PC (Windows recommended)
• PSP ISO file (legally dumped from your own UMD)
• PS3 ISO Tools – specifically PS3 ISO TOOL or PS3Gen
• PSP Launcher PKG (signed homebrew) – e.g., PSP Launcher Mod or ARK-4 for PS3
• USB drive (FAT32 or NTFS) or FTP access
• Multiman / webMAN MOD (optional, for file management)

Before diving into conversion, it is crucial to understand what these file formats represent.

With the discontinuation of the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and the PlayStation 3 (PS3) digital storefronts, preservationists and hobbyists have sought methods to maintain software libraries. The PS3 hardware includes a robust software emulator for PSP titles, originally designed for the "PSP Remasters" and "Minis" programs. Converting a raw ISO dump of a PSP disc into a PS3-native PKG file allows the software to run natively on the PS3 hardware without the need for physical UMDs or the defunct PlayStation Store infrastructure. psp iso to pkg converter ps3
