UMDGen v4.00 Released

greg | December 12, 2006

The UMDGEN Team has released UMDGen v4.00 — with a few simple mouse clicks you can easily create & manipulate PSP Universal Media Disc (UMD) compliant ISO images.

v4.00 changes:

  • New layout
  • UMDGen now displays information from UPDATE\PARAM.SFO as well as PSP_GAME\PARAM.SFO
  • Optimize button added. This function automatically detects and resizes dummy data, removed un-needed padding and dummies the contents of the UPDATE folder (if detected)
  • Non-PSP standard images can be forced to be read by the user. Upon detection, UMDGen will let you know the image is non-standard and you can choose whether to continue and have UMDGen attempt to read it – *NOTE* depending on the individual image, this could cause UMDGen to close if it encounters data it isn’t expecting – but the general rule is if the PSP can read it then presume UMDGen can too.
  • UMD_DATA.BIN file generator. If your compilation is missing this file then UMDGen gives you the oppertunity to create a new one.
  • Ability to change “PSP_SYSTEM_VER” in PARAM.SFO to different firmware version. (Use +/- key while version is selected)
  • ‘Drop Open’ images re-introduced due to a lot of requests to re-add it to UMDGen.
  • Complete CSO + DAX support. You can now edit compressed images the same as uncompressed images. Dax support now includes the use of Non-Compressed areas feature.
  • ‘Ezip’ format removed. We didn’t think it was worth keeping this format since it only had very limited support anyway.
  • ‘Dummy File’ option added as requested by many users.
  • v3.50 still had trouble with one or two problem images. A lot of code to do with the reading/writing process has been restructured and these problems should now be fixed.

Awsome release!!! I’m a big fan of UMDGen, and have been waiting for this. This ability to edit .cso/.dax makes it well worth the wait!

ever try using wine? I do believe there is a version for Mac OS X, it will emulate windows programs and since the UMDGen is probably just a simple app, im sure it will function properly under wine. Give it a go.

Ok, where is this “optimize” button that dummy’s the update and padding files at once, i don’t seem to have one.

Just load your iso, click the “properties” tab, and click “optimize” button in lower left corner. Took me a few minutes to find it also, but gave it a try on a few ISOs and it works perfectly.

yoyo, why not just buy a new UMD drive instead of downloading your games?

Good app, btw. I’ll be checking this out shortly.

Ok. I use UMD Dumper to get a dump of the UMD, then I open the sucker up in UMDGEN and remove the UPDATE folder, then run the pad remove option and the optimize, then compress it to CSO with level 5 compression. I get the CSO and put it into my ISO folder, but when I try to play it, all it does is boot to a black screen then to an error message “The game could not be started. (80020148).” What could I possibly be doing wrong?
