| The latest and the greatest in the seminal WipEout series, 'Pure' |
| distils the essence of anti-gravity racing and futuristic |
| adrenaline-fuelled combat. Hi-tech weapons, hi-octane speed and a |
| high-tempo dance soundtrack combine to deliver an explosive taste |
| of the future directly into your hands. Supporting up to eight |
| players via a Wi-Fi link for multiplayer gameplay, gamers will be |
| able to take on their friends and attempt to blast enemy ships to |
| pieces in a fierce competition for top racing honors. Players who |
| win a gold, silver or bronze trophy will earn fresh racing colors, |
| new ships and four classic tracks from past installments in the |
| Wipeout series. Fresh downloadable content that can be saved to a |
| Memory Stick Duo, such as new tracks, ships, skins and music, will |
| expand the racing experience and allow for personalization of the |
| game. |

| Of course you can't play this game yet, and you won't be |
| playing it anytime soon on a burnt umd disc (as sony has |
| already said they wont be releasing burners for these). |
| |
| However maybe it will give you an idea of what PSP games are |
| like, and just what is hidden on those little discs smile.gif |
| Hopefully it will give psp developers a chance to look into |
| the files etc used on a UMD. Knowing what files are present and |
| where in the filepath they can be found may help with loading |
| of 'driver' files etc from disc. |
| |
| (Hint: UMDs use an iso9660 based filesystem, so this image file |
| can be opened in any iso image browser such as isobuster to |
| look at, extract and generally play with the files within. |
| It could also be burnt to a dvd to let u access the files on |
| your computer such as in windows explorer) |
| |
| Since this contains the ability for "web browsing" its hoped |
| that an exploit can be found that will allow the booting of |
| code on any version PSP. Check the unencrypted files on disc for |
| more info on exactly how the browser works. |
| |
| Thanks go out to the supplier of this title. Cheers. |

How long before they have these running from the memory stick I wonder?.. Its only 150MB after all. I might even buy a PSP when that happens

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Software developers have figured out how to extract files from the Universal Media Discs used in Sony Corp's new PlayStation Portable handheld video game device, though there is no way to play the games extracted from those discs.

Some details of the exploit were posted Wednesday night on the Web site PS2nfo.com, along with lists showing all the files pulled off the game discs for "Ridge Racers," "Wipeout Pure" and "Vampire Chronicles."

The games are not yet playable because there is no way to burn UMDs from scratch, and the PSP does not accommodate larger discs. However, the site said the ability to look through the games' file structures could still be instructive for developers.

What about loading it onto MS DUO and playing it there?

That's what i was thinking. Though a 2GB MS isn't exactly cheap.

no UMD movies yet? i thought that would be the first thing to be ripped.

Most PSP games aren't big, Wipeout Fusion is 150MB. So a 512MB card could hold probably any current PSP game and often more then one at a time.

why ? use psp 9 or whatever its called and just put it on memory stick , you odn't need to rip a umd when u can rip a dvd

 

[see colon]

why rip and convert a dvd when you can simply rip a UMD?

I don't know, maybe because of the all joy, pride and pleasure, this home-made video, will bring to you and your familly?
I don't know, I'm just guessing...

I don't see why UMD movies should be the first thing to be ripped rather then games. Movies can be gotten all over the net in various different formats (DVD, DivX, VCD ect). So its hardly essential to have a UMD source for a movie since your still going to have to convert it just like with a DVD/DivX video.
