p2pnet.net News:- On the heels of the illegal online release of PSP games packed as ISO files, "someone has now developed and released a utility enabling anyone with a PSP to ‘dump’ data on inserted UMD discs to their PSP memory sticks,” says Games Radar, going on:.

“Previously, a small number of PSP games were released on to the internet by small piracy groups, who specialise in the hacking and copying of numerous different types of digital media.

“However, in light of the release of this ‘dumper’ utility, anyone in possession of an original 1.0 firmware PSP has the ability to copy game files. As such, the number of PSP game files currently doing the rounds on the internet is expected to explode.”

BUT —– there’s a problem, continues the post.

At the moment there’s no way of playing these raw game ISO files from memory cards, Games Radar says.

“However, hackers are currently working on an ISO player, which, according to some, is merely days away,” it states, adding that there’s some consolation for Sony:

Copied PSP games won’t turn up at boot fairs because for now, there’s no way for potential counterfeiters to burn their own UMD discs.
