PSP UMD disc protection cracked?

Dela @ May 06, 2005 11:18 | 55 comments

It is being reported that crackers have managed to compromise copy protection on Sony PSP games. A few days ago, several PSP games appeared on the Internet in the form of ISO images. However, there is no way for somebody to play these copies of the games on their PSP device just yet because you cannot burn UMD discs. The PSP has only been on the market in the U.S. for a couple of months but already several hacks and tweaks have appeared for it.

Sony is trying to get more deals with content providers to offer their content in UMD format for consumers to view on the PSP console. While some content providers may be less likely to sign a deal with Sony if they think UMD discs are unsafe, existing partners have nothing really to worry about as Sony has touted UMD's DVD-like region coding, unique per-disc ID number and AES-based content encryption system as suitable protection for UMD-stored content.

UMD discs can hold about 1.8GB of data. But even though you couldn't burn a UMD disc, one major possibility is that one day games might be loaded directly from a MemoryStick. You can get pretty high capacity MemorySticks now that you can use with the PSP and some of the PSP games floating around the net now are quite small in size for games; one of them being just 133MB. So a MemoryStick is a complicated but maybe possible method; more possible than actually making direct copies to UMD discs for now.

pspcrack.tk has a story on how 2.00 is pretty much cracked we just now need some homebrews for 2.00, becuase the apps have to be separate.

"Sony is trying to get more deals with content providers to offer their content in UMD format for consumers to view on the PSP console. While some content providers may be less likely to sign a deal with Sony if they think UMD discs are unsafe"

Okay, that's not true, it can't be. Seriously, DVD is completely cracked everytime a new encrytion comes along. And yet DVD keeps coming with every content imaginable. So why care about UMD, it won't make a difference.

Comment by: solargame (Sep 27, 2005 18:58)

that was before it was tested, we tested it and it works, theres already a pong game for 2.00, we were the first to test it but all the big sites dont give us no credit.

Where can we get PSP games if it's crack? Do i have to get a memory card that's more then 1g to fit the game?

Comment by: Razorke (Sep 28, 2005 14:05)

you can download the games (like downloading movies, apps,...). You'll also need a 1GB memory duo stick (are more). If you want to know how you can install the games on you're psp, just get a look at www.pspcrack.tk

hey, it has been a long time ;)

Well, i still have my cracked PSP and i'm still happy that i've cracked him. I don't play it that much anymore but i was looking for a 2.0 emulator to play 2.0 firmwire games (etc.GTA) but haven't found it that far (i think they haven't made one yet, if anyone knows one, let me know!!). Ow yeah, i've also found a few cool FREE games for PSP etc. one of the classics: Transport Tycoon. Realy had alot of fun with it, quite crazy that they can put a PC game on the PSP (you need the same files to install it on ur PC). you can download the game on http://openttd.teamjak.net. You need some files of the installation file for windows xp, if you can't find them, just ask me by mail, i'll send them to you ;)

Well, i hope you guys like Transport Tycoon :p

@ Razorke

The thing your looking for is Devhook, but the installation is not for the faint hearted. Do NOT goto torrentspy.com and search "Devhook" because that would be illegal, lol.

Comment by: Razorke (Aug 27, 2006 17:19)

oO illegal, sorry don't do that kind of stuff :p

thx, i'll give it a try

Comment by: solargame (Aug 27, 2006 18:57)

downloading it from ts is better becasue its pre installed so theres no need to have 2 psp's, plus with devhook you can emulate up to version 2.71.

Comment by: Razorke (Aug 28, 2006 03:52)

jep, i have it now and it works great, thx! now i'm going to try if GTA works on it AND LOCO ROCO!! i realy want that game :p
