Dumping UMD with PSP Filer

Note: Please do not use USBSSS — it makes bad dumps!

• PSP must have latest CFW.
• Download PSP Filer v6.6.
• Start dump and upon finish move image from root folder ms0:/ISO to computer.

Extract info

• Use HashCalc to obtain various hashes: CRC-32 / MD5 / SHA-1.
• Download SFOInfo (this tool needs .NET 2.0).
• Mount PSP image as ordinary disk emulation drive and run "SFOInfo s r:\ D:\myinfo.txt" (r: emulation disk letter).
• Post myinfo.txt, image hashes and in-game languages as PSP dump info.

Dumping a UMD with PSP Filer Guide

You will need:

• PSP Filer v6.6
• SFOInfo + Batch file to extract info
• Hashcalc (or another program that can calculate CRC32/MD5/SHA1 of a file)
• a PSP with Custom Firmware that can run Homebrew programs.
• a Memory Stick with at least 2 GB of free space. (a UMD can be up to 1.8gb in size.)

Installing PSP Filer onto your PSP

1. Extract the PSP Filer ZIP file

3. Connect the PSP to the computer using a USB Cable

Collecting the necessary info and submitting the dump
