PSP UMD format cracked; game ISOs appear

pr0digal jenius · May 6, 2005, 02:53 AM

"Another step forward in the race to crack open the PSP: Paradox has worked out how to get a dump from a UMD disc, and has released the ISO files for several PSP games (Wipeout: Pure US, Ridge Racers Japanese, and Vampire Chronicles: The Chaos Tower Japanese). Also of note, UMD discs use the standard ISO9669 format, so the released ISOs can be burned to regular CDs or DVDs. Know that the games are not yet playable in this format, but it’s a big step forward now that all the reverse engineers out there can get their hands on this stuff."

Time is money, except in the pirating world, where time simply robs Sony of money

now, time to wire an external cd drive to the psp and load up the iso's thru a disc OR wire up an external hd and load the iso OR link the psp to the pc and load up the iso OR find a way to load it off a memory stick

YAY

Everyone here is cheering for this, and while I don't hold any love for Sony, this move on ensures that Sony will have an easier time justifying high prices
