doing my homework to perfect my psp... thanks

if you psp is on a custom firmware higher than v3.52m33-4, then there is an easier way to back-up your umd's.

1. enter the "VSH menu" (for custom firmware v3.52m33-4, press "Home" and for v3.71m33-5 and above, press "Select")
2. scroll down to "USB Device" and press left or right on the D pad until it reads "UMD Disc" and exit the VSH menu.
3. select the "USB Connection" icon (make sure that you have a usb cable attached)
4. a screen should pop up on you pc/laptop with a single file in it. this is an image of the umd that's in the drive. if you do not get a screen that pop's up, simply go into your "My Computer" and open the "Removable Drive".
5. copy and paste that file to somewhere where you can find easily on your pc/laptop.
6. when it has finished copying, you can then rename the file to the games name.
7. exit out of the usb connection and follow steps 1 and 2. but this time select "Memory Stick" and exit the vsh menu.
8. now you can place that file into the "ISO" folder in the root directory of your mem card. if there is no "ISO" file, make one.

WARNING!
in step 2 and 7, make sure that you only select "USB Device" or "Memory Stick". if you select any of the "Flash folders" and you delete, move or overwrite any of the files/folders, then there is a high chance of bricking your psp. the flash folders should only be accessed by experienced psp hackers. no one on here will take responsibility for you messing around in the flash folders and bricking your psp. you have been warned.
