I have the original hardware on hand as well as a PS3 mem card reader and a PS1 mem card pro (using micro sd cards).
The way I do it is to use a PS2 loaded with FMCB and transfer the savegame files from the memory card directly to a usb stick. The stick has to be FAT32.
The savegame files have different filename structures for different games, but they are pretty similar to each other and often have a code like "BASLUS" in them followed by a string.
There are also various memory card management frontends for PSX/2 savegames with editors you can find online, but I've never used any of those. I just keep everything on a stick. It's very important to backup those saves if you care about them. I've had at least 3 PS1 memory cards fail on me, and it's not hard to pooch the data if you are going between a PS1 and PS2.
Trying to use a PS3, I'm not famailar with as I've never owned one.
