‘hackers have at last worked out how to bypass the copy protection scheme used by Sony to lock down content on the PlayStation Portable’s Universal Media Disc (UMD).’ theregister.com

it also appears someone has managed to run wipeout off a memory stick, i havent bothered reading too deep into the topic so some info ive posted may not be accurate.

Interesting.. but they say they aren’t playable yet…

I still prefer UMD though..

Good work, guys! Go for it!

Sure, they aren’t playable yet, but that’s just another matter of time - they’ll find a way, they always do. Interesting, however, how they are going to achieve the goal of playability. Making UMDs seems pretty impossible to me right now (I don’t believe there’s even anything remotely planned like a re/writable UMD), the next best bet would be running the game of the memory stick. But if those two media types are managed in a completely different manner by the PSP’s operating system (which really isn’t unprobable), this can turn out to be a nightmare. I’m really excited in getting to know what they’ll think of.

But, anyway, ripping the UMDs is already a big step forward and proves that the homebrewers made a very good job.

I hope UMD will be made re-writable in the near future..  :idea:
Another day of opportunity..
