Hello,

Right I have pulled all my resources (mainly the internet) and
I have decided, mainly in the interest of saving myself (and others) time in the long run, answering the same questions over and over and over again, to write a guide on how to load your legitimate ISO’s with fastloader and UMDEmulator ( i haven't included Dev Hook because the other two progs do the same thing - although if asked i will include it)

p.s there is also a guide on how to dump your games to the memstick

*PLEASE NOTE* I do not condone piracy and this guide should not be used to copy or play games that you do not own on an orginal UMD *PLEASE NOTE*

In this guide –from top to bottom- I have used and you will need
PSP v1.5
1GB mem stick
Fastloader V0.7 http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/90
UMD emulator V0.8c http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/92

to install fastloader

Step 1. download fastloader from

Step 2. unzip fastloader

Step 3. connect your psp to your pc (remembering to put your psp in umd mode)

Step 4. once connected copy over the contents of fastloader (4 files) to your psp ROOT directory. If its says PSP already exists just click yes (don’t worry you want lose what is already in there

to create an ISO
Step 1. Copy existing ISO file into ISO directory on your Memory Stick
Step 2. make sure you have a UMD in
Step 3. Go to the Game Menu
Step 4. go to memory stick and press X
Step 5. Select fastloader and press X
Step 6. the fast loader menu will load
Step 7. select dump inserted UMD
Step 8. OH F*** everything is being deleted
Step 9. once it load press X (Make sure you have enough space on your mem stick, if not the file will seem to be complete but will be F***ed)
If your mem stick isn’t big enough you can split the files into parts and transfer them during the dumping project
i. Use the left/right button to specify the size of the RAR file to create
ii. Use the up button to enable/disable USB connection to PC
Step 11. once dumping is complete hold up the power button for 6 seconds (ish)
to play an iso
Step 1. load fastloader using steps 1 to 6
Step 2. select the game iso from the menu and press X

UMD emulator 0.8c
Step 1. install UMD emulator using the included instructions

Step 2. put your ISO file in the \ISO directory on your PSP
Step 3. go to mem stick on your psp and select
Step 3.Select the ISO that you want to play and press X (you need a UMD in your PSP). It will then bring you to the PSP menu screen

For film iso's:

CPU/Bus speed : 222/111 Mhz
ISO Emulation Mode : system menu
Disctype ISO : video
Disctype UMD : video
Updater icon : remove
Use boot.bin : off
Regioncode override : off (this setting disables the next three settings)
Flash0 emulation : off
Flash1 emulation : off

For game iso's:

CPU/Bus speed : 222/111 Mhz
ISO Emulation Mode : direct load
Disctype ISO : video
Disctype UMD : video (youll want to change this to game if your using a game umd)
Updater icon : remove
Use boot.bin : off
Regioncode override : off (this setting disables the next three settings)
Flash0 emulation : off
Flash1 emulation : off

with thanks to renhoek03 for pointing out the settings he used - which i have included above

Step 4. go up to UMD and press X it will now launch your ISO

RAR FILES

for those of you that dont know (NOOBS) if you get a file that isn't RAR and says something like .001 or .000 (and so on) these can easily be opened by selecting open with > winRAR then jsut extracting like normal


*PLEASE NOTE* I do not condone piracy and this guide should not be used to copy or play games that you do not own on an orginal UMD *PLEASE NOTE*

Also please do not start new threads asking about these two programs, please post in this thread. And do not ask about downloading games – not only is it illegal and not allowed in these forums but I will not tell you
Hope this helps
goodbye

OK i have tried everything with both the umd emulator and the device hook i dont know if its the setings or if i dont have files in the right place but once i press x it goes blank and then an error comes up saying that the region code isnt right if anyone knows wht to do if this happens please comment back or email me at removed

@95342 -

no email addresses, plus you're gonna have to change your sig to be less offensive

how do i change my thing i dont know how

well you put in there so you do know. it's in 'my account' it certainly didn't happen by itself and isn't a gift from Afterdawn

Hi All, ive just noticed this thread and maybe you can help. i have tried the method above and the only thing that is baffling me is that when i unzip the files using WinRAR i cant seem to find the iso file. i have UMD_DATAa bin file then a folder which named psp-game which contains PARAM.SFO SND0.AT3 ICON1.PMF files plus 2 image icons then 2 folders 1 called SYSDIR and the other USRDIR. SYSDIR contains boot files and sfo and the other has movies and moduals. but knowwhere can i find iso files. can anyone offer any advice. cheers Alscds

hey i sound like a total noob but even after reading this guide i still am not able to run my iso file from my psp... im using firmware v1.50 and have tried using dev hook, fastloader AND umdemulator...because umdemulator was recommended to me i concerntrate mainly on getting that to work but even after following the settings ravenlife put above it still doesnt work.... it seems putting iso emulation mode to direct load, it crashes and i need to restart my psp. it could be my iso file im not sure. quite frankly IM GOING CRAZY!!!!! pleeeease help me!!!!

But when you make a dump with Fastloader, in my case, i have 4 parts.

How do I rebuild a iso from those four files?

Is there any way to dump an iso from a UMD directly to your PC hard disk rather than to the memory stick? I am guessing no right, because you can't have fastloader running and the USB mode running at the same time?

USB mode is running while Fastloader is dumping...
You can set that with 'triangle'.

That's how I dump, place on the computer (parts), and fastloader is alread busy with the other dumps (parts)
But nope you can't dump directly to the pc.

so when you select dump inserted UMD u are moving the files onto ur psp's hardrive, your not copying them?

The real point that im asking is.. are u able to play the game with just the UMD or will it be blank nd worthless?

hi ok right now i am seeing a bunch of numbers tranfering!! but witch folder the rar files are gonna end up???


thanks

They aren't rar files. They are gooing into root/ISOSPLIT

So basically the files will be saved in the ISOSPLIT folder as an (.iso)then i have to move it to the ISO folder so i can play it!!! right?? or is there something else i have to do??

thank you!!!

Never dumped a whole game. I dumped a movie and plitted it since I only have a 1gig ms.

But you can try, I think it will be a iso directly,....but aren't sure.

k thanks!!!
Do i need a USB connection when i dump a UMD?? basically I want to backup a a UMD game from a friend of mine at work and there's no computer available I have a 2g memory stick!!

hi thanks for your guide to umd emulator. but could you also tell me how to use dev hook.
also do u know where i can get a list of all the umd emulator settings for each game from?

thanks in advance.

@@@ravenlife....with the .001 files and so on..do u extract all files up to like .019? if so what do u do after that?

i want to dump a game with fastloader, but i need to be sure...does dumping the game erase the UMD?

no it just takes a copy (image) of the umd

thanks ravenlife but also can u still play online when u copy it?

hi all im new i register only for this Topic XD .
i have a little question...
after i finished dumping i have the iso in the psp but its doing initialazing some thing like thet and its not stopping its not entering the game what to do????

Hi guys,

Do all back-up ISOs work? Or is this only limited to certain games? I notice there are a
few
different loaders - Fastloader/UMD emulator/some others - are some good for some
games
and others for certain others? I'm in the middle of dumping Burnout Legends, I want to
avoid
those insane loading times.

Thanks.
P.S. A *HUGE* thank you to the thread creator, you have been extremely helpful :-)

EDIT 2: I dumped Crash Tag Racing and then tried running it from Fastloader. I selected it,
after a few seconds, the PSP switches off. Any ideas? My filename is "Crash Tag Team
Racing". There is no .iso on the end, but it is obviously an iso file. I did a direct dump
with Fastloader, no splitting involved. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

thank you patrick

there are a few iso loaders but i havnt heard of any being better at loading certain games than others

umdEMu and fastloader are te prefered loaders though

erm 2.0 games wont work like socum or GTA here is a list here
