What a PSX asset pack actually is (and what it is not)
A PSX asset pack is a set of 3D models and textures made to resemble early PlayStation graphics. The recipe is low triangle counts, small textures with hard pixels and flat or vertex lighting. Some packs also add shaders that mimic vertex wobble and affine texture warping.
It is not automatically a PSX game. The look comes from the whole pipeline: models, textures, lighting, camera and post-processing. A PSX pack in a modern renderer with soft shadows and smooth texture filtering will look like clean low poly, not like the 1990s.
It is also not a single standard. Creators interpret the style differently. Some use 128-pixel textures, some 64, some add dithering. When you mix packs, normalise the texture sizes and filtering, and keep one colour palette. A single shader pass over the whole scene helps tie different sources together.
On itch.io, the PSX tag lists many packs, from free to paid. Look at update dates, ratings and whether the pack is editable. An editable .blend file lets you fix a texture or change a mesh. A closed FBX does not.

Questions
Yes. The Small Town Buildings kit has a free edition with 3 buildings, 15 modular pieces and 14 furniture props. itch.io's free PSX tag lists many more.
Mostly, because the style is defined by low triangle counts and small pixel textures. Keep texture sizes and filtering the same across packs and run them through one PSX shader.
It depends on the need. Pizza Doggy for nature, Ink Ribbon for characters, and our town kit and weapon packs for buildings and weapons.
Use small textures, turn off filtering and mipmaps, add a vertex snapping shader and apply fog. Our guide explains each step.
Most ship as FBX or .blend. A .blend file is editable in Blender, which helps when you adjust textures or meshes.
