3. Open up the application from the xmb

4. Select Virtual FAT16 . UMD ISO-9000

5. Copy and paste UMD9660 to your harddrive

Wow, you skipped a lot of steps... no noobie would be able to follow that. Lemme show you how I would do it using D_A's dumping software. :wink:

Dump UMD to your Computer

First get the following:
UMD DAX Dumper 0.2 beta (http://exophase.com/files/psp/umddaxdumper02.zip)
PSPLink v2.0 (http://ps2dev.org/psp/Tools/PspLink/PSPLINK_2.0.download)
USBHOSTFS Windows package (http://www.irshell.com/download/usbhostfs_PC_Win_1.5.zip)

Installation:
Unzip the __SCE__umddaxdumper and %__SCE__umddaxdumper folders into the PSP\GAME folder for firmware 1.5, PSP\GAME150 folder for custom firmwares.

From the psplink_v2.0.tar.bz2 file, extract the file usbhostfs.prx from psplink_v2.0/v1.5/psplink/ inside the archive. Copy this file into PSP\GAME\__SCE__umddaxdumper\.

Make a folder on your PC's harddrive, for example, c:\usbhostfs. Unzip usbhostfs_PC_Win_1.5.zip into that folder. Create a folder inside it called ISO. You should now have two folders inside c:\usbhostfs, ISO and driver.

Setup:
Now the tricky part - Windows won't install drivers for hardware that doesn't exist, so we need to activate USBHOSTFS from the PSP so that Windows will ask to install the driver. Run the DAX dumper on the PSP now. It'll ask you to insert a UMD - do so. Now press the left on the d-pad until Dump to: changes to usbhostfs0:/ISO. Press the Start button. Windows should now see the PSP and ask to install drivers.

Tell the Windows hardware driver installer that you have a disk, navigate to c:\usbhostfs\driver, and click ok. The driver installer will select the psp.inf file, and tell you that it's found drivers for PSP Type B hardware. Click okay to install the drivers. You'll have to power off the PSP at this point because it won't abort the previous attempt to dump the UMD.

Using:
Open a Windows command shell and do "cd c:\usbhostfs", then "usbhostfs.exe". Power on the PSP and run the dumper. Set Dump to: to usbhostfs0:/ISO. Set the Format: to ISO if you wish to look at the dump with an ISO program, or set it to DAX format if you wish to have a compressed game disk. Set Compression level: to the amount of compression you wish (DAX format only, 1=least, 9=most). Make sure Split size: is set to No split. Press the Start button and now the UMD will be dumped into the c:\usbhostfs\ISO folder. Once the PSP is done, go into the c:\usbhostfs\ISO folder and rename the file to something meaningful (e.g., the name of the game). Now you can dump another UMD.

I thought the instructions were pretty clear. I had heard of your method before but I coudn't work it so I thought my tut was easier. Whats so hard about mine

You tell how to set up the PSP side, and say nothing at all about the PC side. It takes both sides to dump to the PC. The PC won't take a PSP dump without drivers installed and a client application running. That's why I had all that info on usbhostfs.

With usbsss you dont need any drivers or a client app thats why it's so easy

Okay, I went and checked the readme in USBSSS... what it does is mount things as fake USB sticks... one of which is the UMD. So I guess that would be more convenient for dumping a UMD. :smile:

[roe-ur-boat]

Thats why I didn't mention anything about the pc side of things

[Chilly Willy]

Yeah, my bad. Sorry about that. :blushing:

[roe-ur-boat]

Yeah, my bad. Sorry about that. :blushing:

It's ok I forgive you lol:laugh:

[triplenine]

Can you then use that iso like any other and compress it with popstation to play it from a memory stick as a backup? Or is another compression tool needed?

Yes you can use that iso like every other there is absolutely no difference.

[Darkchild]

you don't compress UMDs with popstation, popstation is for PSX games that can be ripped from windows, Google Iso to CSO compressor

I also made a python script that linux folks can use. I should probably upload that here sometime. Technically, it should work in any system with python, cdread, and cdrdao, but I couldn't get it to work on OSX... trouble getting cdrdao to work with the built in DVD.

I made all my popstation EBOOTs in linux with the script, so I know that works. I really ought to make a GUI for it and take another whack at the Mac sometime.

[Silvio6]

Thank you very much, roe-ur-boat, this is so simple to use ...

[wonderwoman90274]

Followed the instructions but when I connect to my computer with the program running Windows says it does not recognize the device and therefore there's no drive to copy the UMD to the computer.. any hints? Thanks!

[wonderwoman90274]

Funny.. tried it on another computer and it works great! Thanks!

[roe-ur-boat]

Just a question wonderwoman. Were you on win 98 on your first pc?

[Wally_Peanuts]

Roe-Ur-Boat you are THE man, love the tut and how simple it is, finally, i can play all my games, without carrying around 238947239847239487 umd discs.

[roe-ur-boat]

haha,thanks man :biggrin:

[damiono]

how do i run dax from the psp?

[damiono]

i have version 3.2, how do i dump using this version?

[Acerthief]

version 3.2 official? or custom firmware

you need to have custuom firmware on your psp in order to use this program, or unsigned codes.

[Digitalgame]

Does this works with Vista? I am triyng it with Vista and is taking a lot to dump it

It works. But I don't know where to put the files, by the way I uses Chilli's tut,worked great!

[Darkchild]

Digitalgame, I hope this is the last time I merge your double/triple posts! When you forget to say something edit the post! or wait untill someone else post's something!

[Cheezeball99]

I'm a total newbie at all of this since I've only had custom firmware 3.52 M33-4 since yesterday (very first CF too). I'm also very unskilled with computers, so please forgive my idiotic questions.

For step #1 can I save the file to my desktop & extract it from there? I don't think I'll ever find it again if it's not on my desktop.

Step #2 When you say to "copy" the files...do you mean to "drag 'n drop" them into the PSP's appropriate file/s? Am I supposed to have the PSP turned on, hooked up to the PC via USB & in USB mode? If not then would you please explain in more detail how I'm supposed to do this.

Step #3 Once I've succeeded with steps 1 & 2 I'll know how to do this I think.

Step #4 I guess I'll understand this once I've gotten past 1-3

Step #5 where on my hard drive am I supposed to paste this? Sorry. Yes, I'm THAT unfamiliar with all of this ^.^

Step #6 Well...now what do I do? :laugh:

SauceyWombat: This guide is somewhat outdated for those on 3.52 M33-4 or 3.71 M33.

To dump a UMD to the memory stick on 3.52 M33-4, simply press HOME while in the PSP main menu screen and toggle USB Device to UMD Disc.

Then go to USB connection and your ISO file should appear in the file browser. Once you've copied the ISO file to your hard drive, toggle the USB Device setting back to Memory Stick.

[SauceyWombat]

Oh, gotcha :-)

I followed your directions & my UMD game's ISO is waiting to be saved to my computer...I just don't understand where exactly I should save it.

You can copy it to the Desktop, doesn't matter where you save it.

Once its saved on the computer, move the file to the ISO folder on your memory stick. If you don't have an ISO folder on the memory stick then create it. It should be created alongside the PSP folder.

they make things easier every time :biggrin:

i wonder wether this couldn't be added to the first post, since a lot of people dont read discussions to the end

I'm happy i did on this one though!

[SauceyWombat]

Anyone using custom firmware 3.52 M33 or 3.71 M33 should check out the new Guide: How to copy UMD game onto memory stick (3.52 & 3.71 M33) (http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=4440). It's amazing how simple it is to copy your UMD Game onto a memory stick with the M33 custom firmwares! I'm brand new to all of this & have done it myself. Hey, if I can do it ANYONE can (^.^)

[roe-ur-boat]

Yes SauceyWombats guide is much easier as things have changed since I wrote this guide. BTW very easy to understand guide Saucey +rep

1. Redownload the archive.
2. Get custom firmware.
