UMD discs have been specially developed by Sony for their game consoles. If you own a Sony PlayStation console, then you probably know that discs are quite expensive for it. In such cases, a very topical question arises: how exactly can you make a copy of the disc so that in the event of a breakdown of the original, you could use its copy? And it is quite possible to burn a UMD disc to a computer.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - Sony PlayStation game console;
- - USB SSS program from Booster.
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to download the USB SSS program from Booster. You can find it on numerous Internet pages dedicated to game consoles, and especially the Sony PlayStation console. Insert the disc to be burned into the console's UMD drive.
Step 2
After downloading the program, unpack the archive to any folder on your computer. As a result of unpacking the archive, you will have a folder 2 USBSSS 100. Open it, then go to the PSP folder, then to GAME. There will be two more folders% _ SCE_USBSSS and _SCE_USBSSS.
Step 3
You need to act based on the firmware of your set-top box. Owners of firmware 1.50 must copy these folders to the STB's memory card, namely to the PSP / GAME folder. To do this, you need to connect your console to your computer using a USB cable. Owners of other firmwares need to copy the aforementioned folders to the memory card, but to the PSP / GAME150 folder.
Step 4
The following actions should be performed on the console. Open its menu and select the "Game" option. Then open your memory stick and then open the USB Special System Storage program. After that, the program menu will appear, in which select the topmost item. The new device will begin to mount on the computer. Wait until the operating system completes the device recognition process. Upon completion of this operation, a new removable disk will be created on the computer, and its contents will be taken from the UMD disk that was inserted into the drive. Simply put, there will be a disc image, but only in ISO format.
Step 5
Now take this image and copy it to any convenient folder. Please note that the copying process is quite long. After the operation is completed, there will be a complete copy of the UMD disk on your computer. With this image, you can perform exactly the same operations as with a regular virtual ISO disk image.
