This is the most direct method. You can convert an individual SNES ROM file into its own PS3 PKG installer, effectively creating a "digital" version of that game that installs and boots like any other PSN title.
If you are building your library, these titles run exceptionally well on PS3 emulation and are community favorites:
User-generated search queries often encapsulate complex technical ecosystems in a few keywords. The phrase “snes games pkg ps3 hot” is one such example.

A PKG file is a package format used by Sony to install software, games, and updates onto the PlayStation 3 hard drive. In the homebrew world, developers use this format to package emulators and retro ROMs.

A PKG file is a standard installation package used by the PlayStation 3 network. In the context of retro emulation, an "SNES PKG" is usually a bundled homebrew package. It typically contains a dedicated emulator—such as RetroArch or Snes9x PIT—pre-configured to launch either a single specific SNES game or a library of games directly from the PS3 XMB (XrossMediaBar) menu.
To install and play these files, your PlayStation 3 must be running a modified environment. This requires either a full for compatible models or PS3HEN (Homebrew Enabler) for superslim and late-slim consoles. Attempting to install homebrew PKG files on a standard, unmodified retail console will result in an installation error.
