On Hacking the PSP

[psplover]

I'm saying if UMD is a DVD format and there's ever a hack to make UMD drives read dvds its still even impratical.


The reason why you can't make custom Mini DVD's without the plastic area is because personal use burners laser cant move in that close to burn in the section.

I'm not suggesting that we make our own UMDs.
I wish I could though.
I actually agree with you on this one. The memory Stick is our best option.

Maybe you'll find this interesting also.

Well if you've been reading up on all your PSP news, then you already know that the reputable "Code Warrior" wrapper for PSP ver 1.1 was accidentally leaked.

What this means?
It is unlikely that this compiles directly to code you can run on a PSP. It more likely translates the code from c++ to PSP optimised code. If I'm wrong, oops. But this would appear to be stride forward for our community. From what I understand about how Code Warrior works, you would still need the PSP SDK to take advantage of this fine tool. This may be a quick way to port emulators. It may not be the most efficient way, as more experienced programmers will likely tell you, but it may also allow us to port some other kinds of interesting applications. Like memory dumpers...

Who knows...
