Here is a webpage that discusses the legal issues and shows a simple circuit that you can build to read a game cartridge:

Wikipedia has interesting things to say about "abandonware":

And it looks like abandonware has been added as an exemption to the DMCA (along with another exemption that allows breaking "locks" on ebooks so that they can be used by the blind):

I can't see how buying used games is diffirent from piracy for game company.
Anyway PS1 is so old that you can download all the games you want without fear (if you won't try to sell them ofcourse, goodluck with that). Also if you really want to be "legal", just delete the roms after 1 day.
