You can get a plugmod or modchip for next to nothing. The plugmod sticks in the back of the ps1 like the game shark but you have to do the old insert a real disk then change to a copied one.
If you fancy your hand at soldering then you can buy a modchip online as well... but seeing the pics of your goodself then I reckon your hands shake like a mofo

Bootdisks are like the unicorn.. everyone knows about them but few people have seen them. I've been told that the only one that works is the PSXChange disk:

I doubt that you'll get it for free because you can't copy it... its pressed so that it fools PS copy protection.
