These files are stored on the PS3 HDD (hdd0/home/00000001/savedata/your game folder), and can be copied over to a media through USB or similar. There are two types, those which are encrypted+signed, and those which aren't neither. This allows modifications/cheats for some games, yes. When copied, they are put inside these folder called "PS3\SAVEDATA\", followed by their Title ID. I'd like to call the encrypted+signed saves as protected saves.

When you copy the saved data from ps3 to psp, ps3 ask if you want to convert it for use with the psp.
