I cannot post urls apparently but google: zlibwapi.dll was not found psx2psp and it's the first link. Basically you just need to download the file and put it in the folder with the exe.

The Sony PSP is a great way to relax and unwind on the go. Its ability to play Playstation games -- once they've been ripped to the IMG format, and you've converted them to EBOOT files using one of several freely available utilities -- also means you do not have to spend a lot of money buying these classics from the PSN store if you already own the original discs. Storing these converted games on the PSP memory stick allows you to take along a library of classic games wherever you go.
PSX2PSP
1.Navigate to the Exophase website (link in Resources) and click the download link for PSX2PSP. This free utility allows you to convert a Playstation disc that has been ripped to IMG files to the correct EBOOT format for playing on the PSP.
2.Right-click the file you have downloaded and select 'Extract All' from the list of options. Click 'Next' and type 'PSX2PSP' (without the quotation marks) for the folder name.
3.Navigate to the folder where you extracted the files, then double-click 'PSX2PSP.exe' to launch the program.
4.Click 'Classic mode' on the 'Mode select' screen, then click 'OK.'
5.Click the '...' button next to the 'ISO/PBP File' section and select the IMG file you want to convert to EBOOT.
6.Click the '...' button next to the 'Output PBP folder' section and specify where you want the converted EBOOT file to be stored.
7.Type the name of the game in the 'Game title' and 'Main game title' text input boxes if you are not satisfied with the names that are entered automatically when you select the IMG file. The 'Game ID' and 'Main game ID' text boxes are also filled in automatically, so do not alter these values.
8.Click the '...' button next to 'Icon Image' and select an image to use as the icon for the game when viewed on the PSP. It does not matter what size the image is, because the program automatically resizes it to fit the required dimensions. A photo of the front cover of the original game works best, but you can use any image.
9.Click the '...' button next to the 'Background image' section and select an image to use as the background for the game when it is shown on the PSP. Like with the icon, you can use any image, though something related to the game in question works best.
10.Click the 'Preview' button and make sure that you are satisfied with how the icon and background images will look on your PSP.
11.Click the 'Convert' button and wait until the percentage shown at the bottom of the application window reaches 100. The converted EBOOT file is then saved to the folder you specified, from where you can copy it to your PSP.
Impaler PSX EBOOT Creator
1.Navigate to the PSP-Hacks website (link in Resources) and click the download link for Impaler PSX.
2.Right-click the file you have downloaded and select 'Extract All' from the list of options. Click 'Next' and type 'Impalerpsx' (without the quotation marks) as the folder name.
3.Navigate to the folder where you extracted the files, then double-click 'ImpalerPopStation.exe' to launch the program.
Click the '...' button next to 'Disk 1 ISO' and select the IMG file you want to convert to EBOOT.
5.Type the name of the game as it appears on the original disc in the 'Game Title' section, then click the 'Search' button. Click the check box next to the name of the game in the 'Code' section.
6.Click the '...' button next to 'ICON0.png,' then select an image -- in the PNG format -- to use as the icon for the game on the PSP.
7.Click the '...' button next to 'PIC1.png' and select an image -- again, in the PNG format -- to use as the background for the game on the PSP.
8.Click the 'Create!' button and wait for the conversion process to finish. The EBOOT file is stored in the 'Results' folder of the 'Impalerpsx' folder, from where you can copy it to the PSP memory stick afterwards.
Simple Popstation GUI
1.Navigate to the QuickJump Gaming Network website (link in Resources) and click the download link for Simple Popstation GUI.
2.Right-click the file you downloaded and select 'Extract All' from the list of options. Click 'Next' and type 'Popstation' (without the quotation marks) as the folder name.
3.Navigate to the folder where you extracted the files, then double-click 'PopstationGUI.exe' to launch the program.
4.Click the 'Browse' button next to 'PSX Image File' and select the IMG file you want to convert to EBOOT.
5.Click the 'Select' button next to 'Output Folder,' then select the location on your computer where you want to save the EBOOT file.
6.Click the 'Customize the EBOOOT' button to display the options for adding an icon and background image to the game on PSP.
7.Click the 'Preview EBOOT' button once you are done with the customization to see a preview of how the game will look on your PSP.
8.Click the 'Go' button at the bottom of the application window to start the conversion process. Wait for the conversion process to finish, then click 'Yes' when prompted if you want to copy the EBOOT over to your PSP.
9.Connect your PSP to your computer via the USB cable. Click the 'Refresh' button on the Simple Popstation GUI 'Select PSP Drive' window, then click 'OK.' This copies the EBOOT file directly to the correct folder on the PSP memory stick.

PSP has native support for most PSX titles so if you want to convert your original PSX disc to play on the PSP it's a very simple process using PSX2PSP. Playing these converted titles requires custom firmware and depending on your firmware version you may need popsloader enabled (legacy firmwares).

1. You first need to copy the contents of your PSX disc to your computer in .Bin/.Cue or .ISO format. If you are not sure how to backup/rip games to digital format you can follow this video. Note that you only need to follow that video up to 4:20. The rest is burning it to a blank CD.
2. Once you have your backup game in .Bin/.Cue or .ISO format you can open PSX2PSP. The main window will show a preview of what you will see on your PSP when you select your game.
Convert menu: Options to add PSX discs and modify how the game is seen on your PSP.
Customize PBP: Options to customize how your game icon, background, music, etc when viewing the game in the XMB.
Options...: For advanced users to change things like compression levels, extraction settings, default icons, and themes.

3. Open the Convert menu and click the first drop down box. Select ISO/PBP File 1 and then choose the location of your backup PSX game. The rest of the text fields should populate with information about the game selected. Then choose an output location on the next line, this is where your eboot.pbp will be stored after the conversion.
4. If you want to make the game look nice on your PSP you can open Customize PBP and add custom images. If you want custom music when hovering over the game you can follow this guide.
5. Once finished customizing text and images you can click Convert in the Convert menu. Once the process is complete, you will have a folder named after the game title ID (eg. SLUS0001) and inside is the eboot.PBP. Move both the folder and the containing eboot onto your PSP memory card GAME folder. Disconnect from USB Mode and you will see your game listed and playable.
- It is preferred to have the Game title and Save title the exact same, and not to make them too long or use foreign characters.
- To make it easier to manage, you can open PSX2PSP options, go to the folders tab, and choose Auto create folder on convert: Create game title folder. This will get rid of the annoying title ID so you can know which games are which. Folders in GAME on your PSP do not need to be named a certain way for these.
- As noted previously, most games will work but there are a handful of PSX titles that just can't be played on the PSP. A good way to check is if the game has ever been on the PSN Store with PSP compatibility, it will work. Some titles have been removed due to licensing though.
- PSX2PSP also allows you to convert an eboot back into an image or bin/cue format. Select the eboot and an output folder path and select Extract ISO.
