Downloading and installing PS1 games in PKG format for the PlayStation 3 is a common practice for users with Custom Firmware (CFW)
For games not on PSN (e.g., Tomba!, Einhänder, Suikoden II for many years), users with or HEN (Homebrew Enabler) can create their own PKG from a legal disc backup.
However, the homebrew community continues to develop:
PS1 PKG files are widely available across the internet on various homebrew and archival sites. When downloading, you will usually see files labeled with their Title ID (e.g., SLUS-00998 ).
The Sony PlayStation 3 is unique in console history because it contains the actual hardware of the PlayStation 1 (PS1) inside it. This means the PS3 offers near-perfect native backwards compatibility with PS1 games. While original discs work on most models, many users turn to digital "PKG" files to store their entire library on the hard drive.
