How reliable are the NO UMD drivers? Can I remove my UMD drive completely? URGENT!!!!

Hey, I recently fudged up my UMD drive, and for the life of me I can't figure out what. I'm still playing with it to fix it...

But those new M33 drivers seem to work with every game I tried them with. If I just remove my UMD drive, will my PSP still work? Will it cause any problems in the future? Like, could newer ISO's not work with those drivers? I was just thinking, since the UMD drive is so much of the wieght, and takes up a lot of space, I could actually make a really sweet memory card tray back there. :P

er. no ISO talk here.(even if theyre backed up and you have the umd)

what happened to your umd drive anyway? how is it "fudged up"

If it's already that jacked up, you might as well. Besides, if 3.71 m33 is where the CFW stops, and newer games will always bring along a newer firmware, you're going to need a new PSP anyways. Go for the new PSP Slim with the Star Wars Battlefront game, or the Daxter pack.

I think you can, and yes, the drives will never die

Awesome, thank you.
