Hello,
Try to clear the memory stick and reformat it with the PSP format and make sure that your current firmware version supports the ISO files saved in the game folders of your PSP.
First of all, there is no way you can run games off the memory stick. It has been confirmed by several websites that psp hackers are able to extract the whole PSP game onto the computer and burn an ISO to CD/DVD. To answer your question, even though the PSP games are in ISO format, they are non-playable on a memory stick because the PSP checks for a boot file normally from a UMD disc the memory stick doesn't have.

For you to download and play games on your psp, please follow the steps listed herein;
1. Since you can download directly to your PSP memory stick, you'll have to download to your computer and further transfer to your PSP memory stick.
2. You'll have to modify the PSP from the official version to a custom version. You can find out how to do this by typing in this search "How to hack PSP to custom firmware"
You can now do the following to transfer and play games;
a. Get
a good memory stick. I recommend that you get a Memory Stick Duo in at
least a 1 GB size, though a 2 GB is even better.
b. Find and
download the PSP games you want. If you don't know where to find the
games try a download service. A good one will let you have unlimited
downloads for a small one-time fee. You can see the link below for more
information.
c. Unzip the game files and save them somewhere that
you can find them easily, like your desktop.
d. Plug your PSP USB
cable into your PSP and your computer.
e. For PSP games- go the
the root directory on your PSP then make a folder called ISO. (If you
downloaded PSOne games, go to the root directory on your PSP and find
the folder called PSP/GAME.)
f. Copy the PSP game files into the
ISO folder. (Copy PSOne game files into the PSP/GAME folder.)
Once this is done you can now play games on your PSP.
Check the setting of UMD ISO MODE if it is set to SONY NP9660. You can see this menu by pressing the SELECT button and the VSH menu will appear. If this one did not work proceed to the next step.
You need to reformat your memory stick, but before you reformat your memory stick make sure you back-up all your games into the PC.
Hi. First, you have to format your memory card so that the required folders will be automatically created.
On your PSP, go to Settings>>System Settings>>Format Memory Stick. Select YES when asked if you really want to format your memory stick. Wait for a few seconds & once prompted that it's done, you can now grab your USB cable and plug your PSP to a computer.
Go to Settings>>USB Connection. Your computer will detect the memory stick as an external drive. Once connected, navigate to your PSP's memory card directory via Windows Explorer. You should see an "ISO" folder. Open this and copy your downloaded games here (.iso or .cso file).
Safely remove the USB connection once done. Navigate to your "Games" on the PSP and the copied game will appear.
The memory card has to be supported by the PSP, first of all, and the CSO Games have to be saved in the ISO Folder of your Memory Stick root. You might have to make this folder if you don't already have it.
