Is there some kind of list online that actually details which pal ps1 games are optimized to run at their intended speed on 50hz pal tvs or which games don't have a botched aspect ratio? I found some lists that cover PAL optimized PS2 games but for some reason I can barely find anything regarding ones on the PS1. It's been such a pain in the ass to collect games as a pal shitter because I can rarely find details on whether or not a certain conversion is shit so having a proper list would be really helpful.

Generally, if the game was made in Europe, it's intended for PAL 50Hz. If it wasn't made in Europe, it wasn't intended for PAL.

Sega Saturn 50Hz compatibility/optimisation has been fully documented if you'd like to switch over to a REAL MAN'S games console?

If you intend to play the games then mod your system and burn the NTSC versions. But since you're a self-described collector, whether a game is PAL-optimised is irrelevant since you're not going to play it anyway.

There aren't many, that's why. I think for instance Crash Bandicoot might be (although there still exists some timing differences), but not its 2 sequels.

You don't wanna do that. It's a fools game. All us PAL shitters are either pirating, modding to play NTSC releases, using an import console or emulating. Or childhoods were a lie and it pains us too much to even think about.

Invaders from beyond is a bit too fast on ntsc, PAL version is better (b movie)

Turn it upside down, it helps.
