Hi all! I thought I would put together a little guide for people wanting to make backups of their UMD's. First, let me tell you that I do not endorse or condone piracy in ANY way shape or form so if you distribute your legally owned backups on the net, be prepare to face the conseqences if found by the police. Now, onto the fun bit! first, download this UMDgen v4 and go to step 1.
\/

STEP I
First, in recovery mode, go to Configuration and set your USB XMB DEVICE to UMD. Now press exit and connect your USB and go onto the USB connection option under "system". You should now see a file called .....NP9660 so now drag that onto the desktop.
STEP II
Now open UMDgen.exe and drag the file you just dropped into the desktop, into the large white area on the window. You should now see a "PSP_GAME" folder and a UMD_DATA.BIN file. now click on the button at the top that says "Save". You will be presented with 3 options,
Uncompressed(*.iso)
Compressed(*.cso)
DAX(*.dax)
click Uncompressed, Choose a file name and directory and then click Save. When it has finished, you should have an .iso file.
STEP III (optional)
Now, if you want to compress it to .cso then open up UMDgen again and drag the newly created .iso file into the window and click Save, but this time press "Compressed"
I hope that this guide helps some people and if it does, please say.

(P.S It is important you make the .iso first, or it will not work.)
(+[_]+) the best console!

you also didn't mention that m33 built in dumpers produce 2kb underdumps, but that psp filer for example produces correct size dumps (even though they only have the extra 2kb of '00' that m33 misses...so no major difference I guess)
[you can check the size that an iso should be by going to offset 8055,8056 and 8057 with a hex editor and converting that hex value to decimal, and multiplying by 2048 - you will see the m33 dumps are 2kb undersize]
1.52>2.0>1.5>3.40 OE-A>3.71 M33-4
3.60>4.01 M33-2

I was wondering, the conversion from cso to iso. I inherited about 30 PSP games from my cousin that just recently KIA in Iraq. The games are in bad shape scratched nasty it takes ages to load from UMD so I backed them up to my PC. I want to back them up on DVD but compressing them allows be to store twice as much on a single DVD-5. How much of the original is lost by compressing and then decompressing?

Sorry to hear about your cousin man. Real terrible war out there. Anyway, nothing is lost when compressing unless you take it out manually.

Some suffer gameplay lag like GTA: Liberty City Stories and God Of War when compressed. In an iso state, these run perfectly. I don't like turning up the CPU CLOCK GAME setting because it drains the battery much faster, but do when I really have to like Medievil Resurrection. What I'm trying to do is store them as compressed CSOs on DVDs and then decompress them back to ISOs whenever I want to load other games.
.zip and .rar files when compressed it does shrink the file found within but when decompressed its reverted back to its original state without loss. When converting back to ISO from CSO will anything of the original be lost? These are not the same like zip and rar and right now I'm hesitant to save them as CSO if the original will suffer loss of data when decompressed.

Fail guide. Some people like vintage firmwares, and have 3.52 or lower. Those don't have the dumper function.
Not to mention running the file directly ripped from the disc through UMDGEN makes NO sense, since it is ALREADY AN ISO. UMDGEN is only for creating .cso's and uncompressing .cso's into .iso's, for modifying your games, and for some illegally acquired games.
Not to mention, this is a bare-bones guide, which has been done millions of times before. If you wanted something new and fantastic, you would have explained all the advanced functions, like putting your own music directly on the .iso, deleting annoying, space-taking cinematics, or modify the actual graphics, like moon gravity, or purple walls.
