Is there a way to tell from the UMD case what firmware version you need? Like on the box the actualy PSP comes in there is a letter which represents the firware version. Is this the case with the UMD case? Coz i no some games you need to upgrade to play them.
Also, what 'UCES' and 'ULES'? Its on the spine of the case
So you could say that the U stands for UMD, the second character, I'm not sure about, the third suggests region E (European?) and U (US?), the last could just stand for Sony. My UMD movies dont have this identifier on them. Note that all these titles were purchased legitimately in Australia. Perhaps Lumines was released as Region 1 all over the world? Im not sure. If you want to do some research on it, the best thing to do is either get in touch with Sony themselves or get people all over the world to post their UMD ID codes..
If you see something I don't have, please e-mail me (not about the firmware list; I don't care about that).
Enough about advertisements and now about PSP serials:
Serials: UXYX-ZZZZZ
U = UMD; This just tells us that the game is a UMD
X = UMD type; This tells us if a game is retail, demo disc, or an internal developer's version (eg. Beta)
Y = Region*
ZZZZZ = Unique game identification number
*Regions:
A = Asia
E = Europe
J = Japan
K = Korea
U = USA
There is is also TCPS-XXXXXX, those are only in Japan and no versions have been dumped so I can't give any more information about them.
UMD Movies and Audio do have serials, but it uses several completely different methods of which I haven't completely cracked yet.
Sorry if I'm breaking any rules, found the topic on google and had to check it out ;)
