PSP UMD format cracked; game ISOs appear

uh ohh...

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.

This is what everyone's thinking now. It's the deciding factor.

I would like to see it so you can play your movies on it without having to go buy another version of the film. This way my kids can watch their shows when we go on trips and I dont need to buy at $20 a pop the movies again so they will play on the psp.

You already can. There's software available that rips from the DVD in your computer to the memory stick. Then you just pop in the memory stick and watch the movie.
