Cannot run the USA WipEout Pure demo bundled with the Stealth movie on a Japanese PSP about ark-4 HOT 12 OPEN

I know how to dump a 1:1 😉

Really? How?

You need to be running the 1.50 kernel and a dumper that I was working on with another developer.

Yeah, this UMD is a weird one. From what I have heard, no one has ever been able to extract a Redump quality ISO; they only can dump either partition separately and merge them afterwards. It would be nice to finally be able to dump the UMD’s contents properly.

Also, is the PSP not being able to read a region-locked UMD from another region when booting with it already in the disc drive intended behavior? Even if it is, it would be nice to not have to reinsert the UMD.

The reason you have to reinsert the disc is because the region change happens at a later stage in the boot process, by that time the system has already tried reading the UMD using the old keys (before being swapped) and thus couldn't read the disk, ejecting and reinserting makes it read it again but by time the keys have been swapped.

Does the Movie portion work?

Does the Movie portion work?

Yes it does. Also, I tried dumping the UMD. I was able to dump the movie partition easily, but no matter what method I tried, I could not dump the game partition.

Yeah that would depend on runlevel. I have hit that issue with other dumping methods also. Does it show up in Custom Launcher?

I'm pretty new to PSP CFW; I usually just dump the UMDs and emulate them. What is the Custom Launcher?

from ark-4.

Under Extra's click Custom Launcher.

If your PSP does not have Extra's then it would be under the Game section.

In the Custom Launcher the UMD has no icon and running it just reboots the PSP to the XMB with a disc code error.

Okay yeah that is expected behavior. So the issue is the UMD is marked as UMD_VIDEO instead of UMD_GAME which is why this is happening. I was trying to resolve that before within the CL but it being launched as a Game caused issues. But XMB should not have issues which is an interesting find.

Yes the region would rely on the video with that one.
