Copy ISO from Portable HDD to PSP

Is there any program (or is it even possible) to copy over ISO files from a portable Hard drive to the PSP.

Here is my problem:
I have a lot of ISO's on a portable HDD and I only have a 2GB memory card so I can only fit around 3-5 games on my PSP at one time. So when I go on holiday I'm limited to only 3-5 games. I wanted to bring along my Portable HDD and transfer the ISO's to my PSP using some kind of File Manager.

Is this possible?

Mr O

 

your portable player jus has to have some sort of file manager within itself and you open a usb connection between your psp and w/e portable player you have..
i was on some website a few days ago and a guy bragged about using his 30gb portable player in conjunction with his psp...
so it isnt that far fetched

 

Ide be interested in this too!!

have you any more info on this?? or a link to where you saw it??
cheers!

 

hi sarah *batts eyes*
i am going to look right now for you!

 

Ha ha ha ...thanks!

 

so sarah how long have you had your psp?

 

got it yesterday, been looking for a while and doing my research!

original firmware 1.5 have two memory cards on the way, but want to have everythig set up before they arrive!

 

which two memory cards?
lol congrats on gettin a 1.5 you are cool now =)
now how are you trying to set it up, cause i would be glad to help you =)

 

yeah a 1gb one and a 2 gb one. Gonna use the 1b one for music and video. the 2 GB one for games...am going away for a month so i reckon ill need the two...but now if i could get my portable HD hooked up to it would be sweet!! saves me having to make the tough decision of....Which games to bring!! lol!

i have a 32 mb card with it now, trying to get some homebrew on it, but reckon its too small, have managed to get a video to play on it with video 9. but thats about it.

do i need to load something else on top of the firmware to play homebrew and iso??

 

Ok first off. Ok the biggest ms that comes officially is 2gb.. there is another company that sells a 4gb hdd but its not good for us 1.5 users... Now I don't know how much you payed altogether for you 2 memory sticks but I can tell you that i found that article i was talking about in this thread. And its 20gb for 249.99. Now its a mp3 player with USB host capability. Jus incase you are like what is he talking about, its a mp3 player that lets you view files from anything that you plug up to its usb. So you would be able to view files on your psp, add files to your psp, or delete files on your psp. So basically you would load everything on to there especially your games, homebrew and video, and keep it stored that.. you could use the mp3 player for well, mp3 and use the psp for video and games since the psp screen is 6 times bigger than this particular mp3 player.. i read up on it and like i said its tru it actually works. If you want more information on that let me kno. its $249.99 USD


As for running homebrew. For homebrew all you need is the homebrew files that come with the games to play them.
For isos/roms: you need emulators. Isos are what psp back-ups are called. roms are what snes,nes, sega genesis etc roms are called..
Do you have any back ups yet sweet stuff?

 

eh sweet stuff?!?!


yeah have about 60 games in iso format ready for 1.5 on my HD.

240$ is a bit steep for me at the moment as ive just shelled out 170euro for the psp and another 120euro for the two cards....

i have a usb 250gb external HD which would be dead handy to plug into and get my games off that......can't see why it couldnt be done like you said, with some sort of a file manager

was actually looking at those 4gb hd on ebay, bit too expensive for what they are really!!

 

i thought sweet stuff was cute lmao? you didnt like that one?

how about buttercakes lol?

anyway, for you to pull this off with any sort of HDD it [bold] has to have a usb host option [/bold].
The mp3 player that has this is the Cowon iAudioX5.. so if you could get your hands on a cheaper one, or a used one it would be great for you since you are going away.

Going away for spring break i assume?
Do you have the emulators to run the isos yet?

 

@Joeva: picking up in a forum??? SHAME!!!!!!!!

if anyone finds a way u can do that, itd b very fab if u can post the website and details up here.

i thought it waznt really possible, but it wouldve taken some time to do. cant really google search it cauz i wouldnt kno wut to type :S .

itd b VERY handy if were on a shell app ^_^

 

-sigh-

i wasnt trying to pick her up, i was just being silly as we don't get girls around here often. im just trying to help her.. if you had read the thread you would have seen that i posted what you need to do this... if you need more information you can pm me.. *pushes gregii away like a lil brother*

*fixes hair*

so sarah, any questions?

 

come on guys ive been a member here now for about a year!

anyways...yeah can't see how it WOULDN'T be possible with the right tweek....something to suggest to a psp modder maybe?? or is there a psp mod team?? like Team executer for the xbox or something?? im sure they have already thought of it tho.... pity...


but anyways....i tried to load up counterstrike that i got from psp hacks and got the error...the game could not be started (80020130)...

also got this with mario Bros from same place..

just dragged and dropped the unzipped package into my game folder as it was 1.5 ready??

 

dwdw, im jus havin fun. im acting like how i would in real life. i jus like havin fun. life cant alwayz be serious *nods*

anywayz, thats weird how it wont start. u sure the games are meant for v1.5? cauz to my recollection i had a game only meant for v1.0 which waz super smash bros melee. dble check if its for v1.5

 

i wasnt being serious, i was actually joking at first. i understand you want to up your post count so you can be a member, you just arent helping here right now.. thats all (thats why i said pushes gregii away like a lil brother, hint hint)


anyway,
did you get it to work yet sarah?
have you tried this one http://www.psp-hacks.com/download.php?id=72
i've never heard of anyone needing anyting extra to boot up the games, you just put them in your game folder and fire up

 

Thanks Joeva for the USB Host idea. I've done a search and found this http://www.psp411.com/show/product/270/0/Share_Steno_CD311_Portable_HD.html

According to the posts for the HDD it stats that it works with the PSP.

like Sarah, I don't really want to dish out more money on a portable hard drive because I've already got a 80GIG drive and I would prefer to get that working on the PSP.

I have a File Manager loaded on my PSP but can't see/access the external Hard drive plugged into it.

In windows it's the USB drivers that pick up the device but I don't think that the PSP will have a USB driver. So we either need some cleaver developer to get round this or pay a lot of money for a USB host portable hard drive and cross your fingers it works.

Has anyone managed to try this out?

Mr O

 

i kno your jokin Joeva. and plus, this is THE MOST ACTIVE forum ive been on. just as good as havin someone on MSN. dont really care if i get member status. i just like having active people on to have fun and help each other out at the same time. lets leave all this on a good note: i apologise for what i said. if it offended you in any way, im sorry. i shall take caution in having fun ^_^

@mrolympia: thats a niffy link there. all someone needs to do is be willing to buy it, sorta reverse engineer it, and hopefully be able to incorporate it into portable HDDs.

 

Buttercakes!! lol


nah not going away for spring break..am actually going to L.A for a month, visiting a mate and trying to see if i can pick up a job aswell! lol!


which emus. do i need?? i have fastloader and some other umd emulator...was given all the disks of software with the psp...havent tried anything with the iso's yet as ive not a big enough memory card to fit them on....

as for the HD thing... yeah i do think its very simple to figure out..one of those little annoying things!! maybe someday someone will crack it...hopefully soon!!! lol!!
