You don't. In fact, you shouldn't steal/"borrow" anyone's work. Linux is free because the author, Linus Torvalds, decide he wanted to share, as did the other open source coders. I doubt the same holds true for the authors of your PSX game. If the game holds value to you, you need to decide what that value is. If it's $50-60, then buy it when it first comes out. If it's $5-10 dollars, wait till it's on the discount shelves of your local store or order it from an online dealer for that price. If it holds no monetary value to you, wait longer, and you might be able to get it as scratchware.

There are programs that run PSX software on Linux, but the authors wrote it for the technical challenge (and maybe to use one disk for all their gaming needs), not to put game authors out of business. If you want it bad enough, you're surely capable of finding it, but asking people to hurt other people is just wrong. Search elsewhere, buy the PC version, or buy a PSX. Your other option is to learn how to code, in which case you might understand how important other people's work is.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but think of it this way. You spent months/years making something, and then nobody pays you for it because somebody else decided to make copies. The RIAA is wrong, but only because they marketed cd's as cheaper alternatives to tapes, but now sell them for almost double the price.
