i have searched on the forum and haven't see a guide on doing this. so here it is..
If you have 'Custom Firmware 3.52 M33-4 or higher' there is a UMD Copier feature built into the
custom firmware.
The dumping process should be similar on Macintosh and Linux computers as well as its just a basic
'file copy'
Its probably best to plug in your AC Adaptor because copying a UMD Disc will use a bit of battery
power.
Copying a 1.42gb UMD Disc with the AC Adaptor plugged in took me about 20 minutes.
The transfer rate started at ~1.3 Megabytes per second at the start and increased to ~1.7 mbytes per
second towards the end.
(The PSP UMD drive is 'CLV' drive', this means its slower to read data near the center of the disc and
faster near the edge)
To copy a UMD using the built-in UMD Dumper on Custom Firmware '3.52 M33-4' and higher:
(This copying method will work on both the PSP Slim and PSP Original as long as you have 3.52
M33-4 or higher custom firmware)
1. Turn off your PSP by holding the power button for 4 seconds.
2. Turn on the PSP while holding the 'R' button to access recovery mode.
3. Select 'Configuration' and press 'X'
4. Scroll down to 'XMB USB Device' and press 'X' until you see "UMD Disc"
(It scrolls through 'Memory stick -> Flash 0 -> Flash 1 -> Flash 2 -> Flash 3 -> UMD Disc)
5. Scroll up to the 'back' option and press 'X'
6. scroll to the 'Exit' option and press 'X', the PSP will load the XMB menu.
7. Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable and activate a USB connection.
8. You should see a 'New Drive' appear in 'My Computer', inside that new drive is a file called
'UMD9660.ISO'
9. Copy this file and paste it to a folder on your computer and the UMD Disc will start copying to your
computer.
The copying process may take up to 15 minutes, It depends on the size of the game...
10. Once the UMD has finished copying to your computer, you can close the USB connection.
11. Rename the file you copied to your computer from 'UMD9660.ISO' to the name of the game you
just copied.
(you might need to go to the properties of the ISO file and remove the 'read only' attribute so you can
rename the file)
12. To copy another UMD -> Take out the old UMD and insert the new UMD Disc, re-create the USB
connection and repeat steps 8 -> 11
12. Once you have finished dumping your UMDs, turn off your PSP by holding the power button for 4
seconds and enter recovery mode.
13. Go to the 'Configuration menu' and change the 'XMB USB Device' option from 'UMD Disc' back to
'Memory Stick'
14. Choose 'Back' and then 'Exit' to go back to the XMB Menu.
You can now copy this ISO into the ISO folder on your memory stick or you can compress it to CSO
using a program like UMDGEN.
