(OUTDATED) Guide: How to dump a rip from your PSP game with USB Special System Storage [Archive Reference Only]

to thisdude

when my rip is finished it is not in ISO format,it is in a winRAR format, and it never goes back to 0%, wat shud i do

 

well first you do not touch the winRAR files if you don't have winrar. and i think it should already be in ISO format?

and its normal if it doesnt go to 0%, just wait a few mins and then turn off your psp.

yep thats all working now to, is there any way to make the file smaller then a CSO

 

No cso is the smallest unless you want to change the compression level.

 

Im running Custom Firmware 3.71 M33-3. I'm having trouble opening the USB program and end up with a "The game could not be started (80020148)" message. Any suggestions?

(EDIT) My apologies I did not read the information regarding the how I can change to view the UMD disc instead of the Memory Stick.

 

will it brick my psp? and can i do it with 3.72?

 

Haha, no it won't brick your psp, because it doesnt mess with the flash files and stuff. and you cant do it with official firmware. only with custom. :]

 

This doesn't seem to be working for me.

I'm using my downgraded PSP on fw 1.50.
When I run the app and choose the first option (as the guide says) a new drive appears on my PC but it just shows the contents of my memory stick instead of a single ISO file.

I've tried several different games and have the same problem.
My memory stick has has a capacity of 2GB but at the moment it has 160 MB free.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

 

Try another option, until you can see a single .iso file. Normally the first option should be fine...

 

K I'll try that when I get back from work.

 

Every option I've tried just brings up the contents of my memory stick.

 

Did you have an UMD inside your PSP??? A GAME UMD.

 

Yep tried two different ones and had the same result.
I noticed that the disc isn't even accessed (don't hear it spinning) when I select one of the options.

 

Does the UMD run itself in like an actual game?

 

Do you mean when I run USBSSS? Because it does't run at all while I use the app.

 

No, does the UMD play itself????

 

Yeah both UMD's I've tried do work, I was using the PAL versions of Syphon Filter Dark Mirror and Gangs of London.

 

Hmm... I'm out of ideas...

Try this app instead:

I can't offer you any help on that sorry, I never used that one before.
