I was in the shower the other day and was thinking about this. This would not be for the normal user, more for PSP3D...
1. would it be possible to take the UMD loader off of the PSP and somehow hook it to a CPU and run the UMD's VIA a CPU?
2. If this is, could you write a program to view the code of the game?
3. Could you use the code in the game as an opener for homebrew to bypass Sony's encryption? Like say take the opening for GTA, and get all the way to the load game part and than load a homebrew game from memory stick? OR something to the effect?
It is just a thought, and not sure if it would work but that something I was thinking about. Thanks! |

Points: 2.67 Donate | | | couldnt you take the wires for the PSP drive, solder them into a USB and than make it a slave or something...so you could run UMd's without running the PSP hardware? anyone have a bricked/junked PSP they would like to experiemnt with? LoL...
Unreal, actually the UMD disks are smaller than mini-disks. My mom has a dvd-camcorder, and i thought they were the same but no dice.
anyone have any suggestions about my original idea...let me know...thanks... |

Points: 2.67 Donate | | | but isnt there an encryption code on the UMD's that lets it play on the PSP? could you take the boot up of a game and then code a homebrew game after the boot up to pass encryption? runnning from a memory card of course...
I know what I am thinking maybe I am not wording it right...
*ADDED*
YEAH the "boot sector" of the UMD...if we could pull that off of the umd and use it as a save and code homebrew after the boot up...it would have the encryption already in it and it should work no? |

Points: 0.22 Donate | | | interesting idea, but someone would have to rip apart a PSP to get the UMD drive, and then u'd have to write a driver for it.
id be willing to (try) writing a driver if someone could provide details on the specs of a UMD disc, as in all the info |

Points: 2.67 Donate | | | that is why i asked if anyone had a bricked psp that they would be willing to donate...i figure if you can get the boot sector off of the game and then code in your homebrew technically it should work..if my theory is correct...

Points: 1.51 Donate | | Good luck writing a driver for a proprietary UMD Drive. The biggest problem is getting all the information about it to properly write such a driver. This is the same issue people have with Drivers for ATi Graphics Cards in Linux.
BTW: Who the hell is going to buy another PSP just so they can tear out the UMD drive from it to hook it up to the PC, and it's not even like there's a PSP emulator for the PC so it's completely useless outside of the idea that you can somehow exploit games. Which is already being done with GTA:LCS  | |
