USB Special System Storage 1.00
greg | January 13, 2007
BOOSTER is back like a vertebrate with a new creation, USB Special System Storage. Essentially it allows you to directly mount PSP system data and/or system devices (i.e. UMD drive) as a USB storage device on your PC.
Currently it supports:
- UMD ISO9660 image.
- System memory and some registers.
- lflash(NANDflashROM) parition image.
- lflash(NANDflashROM) direct. (FAT12 direct file access)
It is mounted as read-only except in normal mode. So rest assure flashROM and system data is safely protected in case of accidental mouse clicks. ;)
It is also recommended you use UMDGen or DAEMON Tools to access the UMD files. UMDGen rules, check that out here.

Thanks for the heads up everyone!
that is dumb
fuckin idoit! its good shit man
his name is ds lite so hes not a psp person
i think
no hes just another fuckin numpty bitching cos DS are lagging on homebrew scene
i see you a refering to yourself in the thirdperson
duh ds is better
yeah rite….just like saying the WII is the best of Da three…lol….DS SUCKS!!!!
here here!! hahahhahhh
The psp is better for homebrew, but the games are all crap. The DS has some decent games on it + it has the touch screen something that the psp does not. As for the WII i can safely say that it is the best of the others simply cos its so much fun to play the games on it. The 360 is ok but its just not getting enough good games. As for the PS3 i wish id never wasted $600 on it. Its just like the previous 2 Ps’s, looks great but the games are crap and will be for about a year until the programmers get to grips with it properly (Anybody remember the launch games for the PS1 or PS2, all about graphics and not enough gameplay, most of em you wouldnt even consider playing nowadays). Anyway Nintendo have got it right this time. Whether you buy a 360 or a PS3, buy a Wii too cos i asure you, you wont regret it.
psp’s got some top games, medal of honor, def jam, the GTA’s etc, the nintendo DS on the otherhand just seems very childish to me!
I personally think the Wii is the BEST out of the 3 :/
your awesome booster!!!!
YAY
what exactly does this do? lets you use usb mass storage instead of mem stick?
no. it allows you to access your UMD, Flash memory and other stuff through the computer!
The umd drive will show up on the computer!!
I confirm that it works!!!
I made a PSP game backup in like 5 mins through my computer!!!!
Ok now this is stuff we can use
I don’t get it too! Explian please
boost the question!
put the program on your mem stick, run it on your psp, then your psp will show up as ‘removable drive’ E:/, F:/ etc… and the umd you have in your psp will show up as an iso!! therefore making it alot quicker to back up your games! capiche??
i dont get it
is there any work to get the wireless working? as in, i can use the wifi in the PSP as a wireless adaptor for my computer?
i know that this wouldn’t be all that hard (in theory) but correct me if i am wrong.
copy umd directly on pc …….
i think ?
Uh, wait a sec.. I might have this wrong, but is this saying we can access the PSP’s flash via USB?
If so.. Holy crap. If this can be done without ‘usb mode’, this could fix bricks.
umm darth_tater that app already exist look it up
it does?
what is it called? i can’t find it anywhere
I think its called
PSP-FTPD
i dont need a FTP server, i want to beable to use the psp’s wifi connection on my computer.
jsut like any other wifi dongle that works over usb, i want to be able to use the psp’s.. afaik there isint a proggie that does that, but then again, im not really big into the psp homebrew.
is this work on fw 3.03?
NOOOOO
you are the person shotguns were made to kill
(((Uh, wait a sec.. I might have this wrong, but is this saying we can access the PSP’s flash via USB?
If so.. Holy crap. If this can be done without ‘usb mode’, this could fix bricks.)))))
i dont think so …if it bricks there no usb support
no way to access the flash
yes u can i tried it u can access umd and flash u can copy iso if umd is in
u cannot access flash if bricked though
Guys Guys Hello Recovery mode has usb support what if recovery mody is a little bit ajusted with help of this program you could in theory unbrick a psp as long as you don’t brick file recovery mode needs like usbstor.prx XD
can i acsess flash on 2.81 using this application
thanks
no, sorry. You need a hacked version of the psp to run it. 2.81 has no downgrader (yet ^_-) so you’re out of luck I’m afraid.
On that note, are there any programs you guys would love to have made? Other then downgraders for 2.81+ :p
DARK_ALEX, FANJITA AND BOOSTER RULES!
BOOSTER maybe you can open the gate to access the flash so brickers can do an reflash of the firmware that will be so great.
This program runs on your psp not your computer.
If your psp is bricked there is no way to run it. so this idea WILL NOT WORK
RECOVERY MODE HAS USB SUPPORT EDIT RECOVERY MODE WITH CODE FROM THIS PROGRAM AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FLASH USING THE PC.
DON’T BE A FOOL!
THINK BEFORE YOU SAY!
IT COULD BE POSSIBLE WITH RECOVERY MODE
Neo G you are officially retarted.
If you have a PSP with recovery mode, you can recover without this.
Lets see you use your recovery mode, with a 1.5 that bricked during an update, or a 1.51 or higher that you bricked during a up/downgrade.
In otherwords, this has NO practical use for a bricked PSP of any sort.
very nice
you need a nandflash programmer to unbrick a psp full stop! and it still isnt easy as flash needs to be plugged into programmer hence why UP mod chip can unbrick
You are god.
Have my babies?
Maybe BOOSTER or Dark_AleX can make a program out of my idea. What my idea is, you run HEND, then run this program that if you are about to brick your PSP it quickly goes into a recovery mode to prevent the PSP from bricking. If I had this program I would be so happy. Then I wouldn’t be afraid of using the 2.71 TA-082 downgrader. Because even if my PSP were about to brick, the program would go to Recovery mode and save my PSP.
Dont be a baby. THere have been like 10 bricks total using the dAX 2.71 dowgrader. use this guide if you still need help

There’s no way I’m spending more money for a PSP with updated firmware!!!!! I’m not taking my chances. If by baby you mean a wise person who wants to conserve their money then yes, I’ll choose to continue to be wise and conserve my money then foolishly take the chance of losing $200.00+.
shut the hell up you whining bitch
lol….take a chance u pussy!
u live with ur mom dont u
Why does this site let douche bags such as yo and iPartyNaked comment on this site?
because they need to set people on the right track ? really though not many people actually brick following instructions how do you think they haven’t XD
thanks booster, fantastic app, i just dumped one of my umd in a few mins. works a charm. thanks again.
Booster now has the UMD emultion market cornered. Direct dumpin via USB means someone with a 1g MS can dump, say, WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw (1.x gigs) and then use a ripkit to make it smaller, or…or…GASP! Compress it into a .DAX file!
Booster, you’ve proven that even tho DAX’s firmwares emulate ISOs, we havent heard the last from the OTHER king of the PSP world.
Speaking of which, isn’t it funny that DAX hasnt yet implemented support for his own format, .DAX?
Thanks again BOOSTER! We all love ya. :)
Are you trying to create a fight here.
Homebrew development is working against sony and not against eachother don’t forget that.
Yes Dark_Alex Uses some of boosters code and i’m not complaing because he used it right.
U on the other hand are making a big deal out of something that isn’t very abnormal because probably did the same thing just like any other homebrew developer.
This is not about fighting, its about the scene. If DAX makes something and someone wants to make something better than DAX, DAX will probably wanto to stay on top of the scene. The results; psp scene grows faster and better.
If by bricked u mean the blue screen after the manual restart that keeps popping up no mater what u do… I had that happen. All I did was hold the “R” shoulder button while you turn it on, and it bought me to a menu where a recovery option can be found. If the recover file that this function calls is not on your psp. I believe u can enable usb in that menu to run directly off your compunter (if I remembered right..)
Almost! It activates usb mass storage soy you can put the missing recovery files on your stick and then you can recover.
even if booster and DAX work together to release an unbricker, it wouldn’t unbrick bricked psps it would only prevent future bricks.
and we also have that ability, recovery menu!
if black u in trouble. mine did same thing and is still bricked.
HEHEHE,,, try booting..then press R… may recovery is still there…. i hope so…
once you go black u cant go back
once u go gay, there is no other way….
mine TA-82 as well, that was stupid.
i know how u feel, sorry man. im still hoping for possible unbricker, non yet. but then again booster can do anything
im not an expert so try asking around.
yo friend will kill u.
You have to get to recovery mode to use this and since I cant Im screwed Thanks Anyway HR
good luck m8
So this means faster *.iso dumps. This is cool.
~Luffy
wow talk about the coolest app out for the year so far this think rocks, this app just took my UMDLoaders spot cause the UMDLoader does not work anymore on 3.3OE-B so this is my only option
BOOSTER, thou art AWESOME!
Thanks for continuing your hacking/programing magic for the PSP scene!
I thought FLASH0 was 32MB??? it says 1.9gig on my psp and no thats not my memorystick, I only have a 1gig memorystick…
Its probl your Umd disc.
( btw this app is easy to use, and it works perfectly, good job booster! )
Yeah or he has a bricked file/folder on his flash
dude, this is a really great program! a giant leap in the UMD-dumping side of things…great job, and keep up the good work!
ok so i have a 1.5 and it is bricked BUT the blue screen pops up. theres no way to get into flash and fix this is there? i hold the right shoulder and no recovery menu pops up either, i heard its for customized FW (hence the recovery menu). no way i can use this program to fix anything can i? =-(
Ok let’s settle this before more people brick there psp’s.
THERE ALSO IS A ROCOVERY MODE FOR 1.5 PSP YOU CAN FLASH IT WITH AN OPTION IN X-FLASH CALD SOMETHING LIKE “Dark_Alex Custom firmware files”
Ur up shit creek dood!
Hello frisco!!
anyone knows where I can buy “blank” UMD’s? :) :) (shhhhh)
my house
are u kidden nobody sells blank umds sony are the only people that can write to the discs. besides u can only view the files not put anything on the disc.
Im sure sooner or later someone out there will sell blank umd’s…….oh and there’s always a way to get around the ‘write-protected’ part.
Okay, here’s the deal:
This could be used to fix a bricked PSP (once it is installed), but this would mean that a program would be installed on the flash memory. It’s kinda like the modchip: Hold left to enter programming mode on startup. The screen is black, but you can accsess the flash memory on your PC. Just copy and paste a firmware dump on it and voila!
Exactly! Finaly somebody who thinks logicaly before he goes out and talks like a noob “it can’t be”.IT CAN BE DONE AND KARL EXPLAINED HOW!
If you would think logicaly before going out and talking like a noob you would realize this can not unbrick an already bricked psp. you would have to install this program on your psp’s flash before you brick it and have some kind of key sequence to access it. The only reason people would need it is because they bricked there psp with custom firmware. A UM wait a minute we already have an unbricker included with our custom firmware its called RECOVERY MODE. and don’t say not everyone uses custom firmware. If you bricked your psp for any other reason than custom firmware then chances are your not going to install any thing on the flash to begin with
if you can install tht little app in flash1 and be able to boot the psp from flash1 so you could flash your dumped FW, it would be the perfect recovery mode. i think that should be possible because if when you brick a psp flash0 is the one that gets Fed up.
OF COURSE THIS WOULDN’T UNBRICK ANY BRICKED PSP
It would be even better if you could start a recovery mode from flash2 or flash3
STFU n00b
There aint no flash 2 and 3 you stupid newb
i aint a newb and even i know that this app shows a flash0,flash1,flash2 and a flash 3 as iso,s when i mount them so exactly where do you suppose they come from that time portal that people think they can get in because that my friends is the only way your gonna unbrick
in otherwords wat is this flash 2 and 3 is it a flaw? in the app? it could be the umd but why wouldnt it show any data in the image?
i once heard of a gate jumper hack back in the first three weeks of the N.A. psp launch. I think it was here no to sure though. Anyway it involved jumping gates with wire so that the psp could be used to “burn” over existing umds. maybe it wasn’t here but there was a video of it working.
nice job Booster. My infected umd dumped in about 12 mins. Sweet!!
Do you know if I could still dumb an UMB on my PC if my laser/motor doesn’t work in my PSP.
how do you w
