Sony PlayStation Portable Dumping Guide

From Redump Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

This guide is for dumping PlayStation Portable games, alternately if your disc has a movie partition as well follow this guide instead (usually just for multi-demos - or Stealth movie + WipEout Pure demo disc). Note: Some test discs need the PSP to be resigned to dump them UMDT-99813, see here.

Contents

Required Hardware

First Time Setup / Tools

  • PSP Filer v6.6 - OR - UMD Image Creator (dumps some UMDs that PSP Filer won't).
  • Start dump and upon finish move image from root folder ms0:/ISO to computer
  • SFOInfo to extract info
  • Hashcalc (or another program that can calculate CRC32/MD5/SHA1 of a file)
  • IsoBuster for PVD data (free version is fine)
  • Note: Please do not use USBSSS — it makes bad dumps!

Installing PSP Filer onto your PSP

  1. Extract the PSP Filer ZIP file
  2. Open the 'release\GAME' folder, select the 'Filer' folder and 'copy' it
  3. Connect the PSP to the computer using a USB Cable
  4. Open your memory stick, then open the 'PSP\Game' folder and select paste
  5. Disconnect the PSP from the computer.

Dumping a UMD using PSP Filer

  1. Enable your PSP to run homebrew / start your Custom Firmware.
  2. Insert the UMD you want to dump into your PSP.
  3. Select Game > Memory Stick > PSP Filer and start it.
  4. When PSP Filer starts, Press the Triangle button to open a menu.
  5. Press the 'Right Trigger' button to select 'UMD Ripping'.
  6. Make a note of the filename the UMD will be dumped to. (Example: ULES-00135.iso)
  7. Press the 'Start' button to start dumping.
  8. Wait while the UMD dumps to your Memory stick. This can take a while, it depends on the size of the game.
  9. When completed, Press the Cross button then exit 'PSP filer' using the Home button then Quit game.

Dumping a UMD using UMD Image Creator

  1. Start either the UmdImageCreator application, or press the Note button if you're using the PRX module variant.
  2. Insert the UMD you want to dump into your PSP.
  3. Press 'Circle' to start dumping the UMD.
  4. After it's done, press 'Triangle' to exit the application.
  5. The dump logs will be located in the ISO folder on the Memory Stick.

Dumping PSP discs with two partitions

A few discs such as "Demo Disc for PSP Vol. 1" or "Stealth + WipEout Pure" contains two different partitions on the same disc, one for the game and one for the video sections. Those discs need a different process and a different tool to be dumped correctly. [1] UMDKiller requires the Note button of the console to be pressed, so this particular tool is not compatible with the PSP Street console (the button is missing). Note: UMD_DATA.BIN of each ISO has the partition number, 0001 & 0002.

  1. Use UMDKiller V1.2 [2] to dump the first partition. It will be saved to ms0:/ISO/UCJB-98306.iso.
  2. Connect your PSP to a PC and rename the dumped ISO as "UCJB-98306_0001.iso" and then move it onto the PC.
  3. Use UMDKillerPRX V1.5 to dump the second partition. It will be saved to ms0:/ISO/UCJB-98306.iso.
  4. Connect your PSP to a PC and rename the dumped ISO as "UCJB-98306_0002.iso" and then move it onto the PC.
  5. Open Notepad and type the text below, make sure to modify the filenames to match your ISOs. 
   copy /b UCJB-98306_0001.iso + UCJB-98306_0002.iso UCJB-98306_merged.iso
  1. Save the file as Merge.bat and move it to the same location as the two ISO dumps.
  2. Double-click the Merge.bat to merge the ISOs into one file, "UCJB-98306_merged.iso" is created.
  3. Use clrmamepro's Dir2Dat function and uncheck everything except Add MD5+SHA1, create the .dat file to save the three ISO hashes.

Transferring the dumped ISO file to your computer

  1. Connect the PSP to your computer using a USB Cable
  2. Open your Memory Stick then open the ISO folder.
  3. Copy/Cut the Dumped ISO from your memory stick to a folder on your computer.
  4. Disconnect the PSP from the computer.

Retrieving PVD

  • Open IsoBuster app.
  • File > Open Image File.
  • In the left hand side of the app, right click on "Session 1" > Sector View.
  • In the box at the top input "16".
  • Scoll down and highlight lines 0320 - 0370 > click on the notepad-looking icon (when your mouse hovers over it, it says "Copy").
  • Paste this info into your submission, it's the "PVD" info. Here's an example of how it should look: 
0320 : 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 32 30 30                200

Collecting the necessary info and submitting the dump

Note: MPF.Check (UI or CLI) supports UMD Image Creator dumps with logs. This greatly speeds up gathering submission info.

Please review the important guidelines outlined in this forum thread regarding submission of both new discs and verifications: Redump Submissions

1. Extract SFOInfo from the ZIP file and place it in the folder as your Dumped ISO.

2. Mount the ISO image file with Daemon Tools or whatever you use normally to mount disc images on a virtual drive.

3. Get the virtual drive letter and use this command "sfoinfo s f:\ d:\PSP\myinfo.txt" where f:\ is the virtual drive and d:\PSP\myinfo.txt is the drive folder where you need to extract the data. Change the letters according to your computer configuration, and if you want you can prepare a small batch file so you don't need to open the command prompt every time. On a Windows computer, you can copy the below code to a new .txt file and then save it as "getinfo.bat" (or any other name you prefer) in a directory that also contains sfoinfo.exe : 

@echo off
if not exist SFOInfo.exe echo. SFOInfo.exe not found && pause && exit
for %%a in (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q U R S T U V W X Y Z) do (
if exist %%a:\UMD_DATA.BIN sfoinfo s %%a:\ sfoinfo.txt && exit
)
echo. Mounted PSP ISO not found...
echo.
pause

This batch file will go through all drives D-Z, looking for a mounted PSP ISO. If it finds one, it will dump the information in the same directory as the batch file itself, using the name "sfoinfo.txt". If this file already exists, it will be overwritten, so make sure to run it only once and copy the result elsewhere if you are doing multiple dumps! Once you have your .bat file ready, you can just be clicking on getinfo.bat instead of running a command prompt. Note: This batch file is safe for your computer and has been tested by a Redump moderator. There are of course other ways to achieve the same results, if you know your way around batch files. This is provided as-is for those that are not really familiar with them.

4. Run Hashcalc, press the '...' button and browse for the ISO file that your dumped.

5. Tick the MD5, SHA-1 and CRC32 boxes then click 'calculate'

6. Open the text file that got created in step 3.

7. Copy the template data below and paste at the top of the text file.

8. Replace the data in <Angled Brackets> with the data from your dump and save when done.
