There's a pretty comprehensive Snatcher/Policenauts fanpage that has the differences between all the versions of both games (I'm on my phone, otherwise i'd link to it). I believe that the PlayStation and Saturn versions are pretty comparable, with the Saturn version having a few small graphical upgrades, a few different songs for the ending, and, of course, light gun support. The light gun support is what makes me really wish someone figured out how to hack the Saturn version first, but beggars can't be choosers!

I'll just pretend the PSX is the best version

Pretty much all translations on consoles are patches, meaning you need some form of the original software, which in this case would amount to an iso (whether created yourself or downloaded). I'm not sure how consistent iso's are from creator to creator, so it may require a specific iso to be patched. Either way it won't be using the original disc in the final playable form.
