Sony DTP-L1500 UMD Test Station on eBay
greg | November 24, 2007
Update: Sadly, Sony complained. eBay authorities pulled the auction. :(
Anyone interested in this? I’m a bit shocked to see it on eBay; nevertheless, very cool!
You know how eBay works. So bid on it and hope for the best!
For the record, we are no way affiliated with this particular auction. We recommend you use common sense, check the seller’s feedback, and ask him/her any questions you may have. We are not responsible if you get ripped off.
Thanks otakuman706
WTF!!!! O_O is this even legal??
If any one knows the Video Game Industry should know that its just for testing purposes.
i dont understand if the cable plugs into the usb port or what, in the picture it doesnt look like the psp is attached at all
the psp station is for emulation of psp games on either umd disk or cd. Its for QA, development purposes. It is legal if ur a development. the only way u can acquire the station is if u go through sony itself
its cheap atm :O
sirganonthe psp is attatched to the machine itself, it cant be removed from the umd test station
No u cant remove it cause all the power that goes to that psp is transfered from the station.
what is this?
What is this for?
One of these were on ebay some time ago. But ebay pulled the auction as it is illegal to sell these units. Hopefully this one will go all the way till the end but i doubt it.
What dose it do?
So basically, this reads and writes UMDS?
No it doesnt write umds only reads umd and psp thats on a cd.
WHAT A RIPOFF PEOPLE!!! Just for testing purposes WTF is that useful for anyway. Today with irShell play ISO’s of your PC and if you want to watch a DVD on PSP Ill damn create a homebrew app that would play DVD’s to my PSP. I think even VLC media player can do that. And besides is probably worth nothing only geeks and wannabe hackers would buy this just to show off.
HOPE THIS FALLS IN TO ONE OF THE TOP HACKERS OUT THERE
I`m sorry PSPARKER it wont I got much money to burn I cant help myself :)
lol wat a gun hu managed to get of these in there hands lol how col wld it be if they made a umd with just homebrew stuff on it eg–emulators and stuff hahahahha tho it wnt happen it still bld be cool
Oh, I think I get it now; this allows you to burn UMD’s?
NO IT DOESNT ALLOW TO BURN
this tool ist just for testing UMD videos
i found this:
http://www.pspimages.net/pspdevelopertool.php
It can read UMDs. It’s for movie companies to test their movies on the PSP. It does NOT burn UMDs. A licensed developer with this hardware would be required to send the image to sony for burning and production.
I placed a bid! FOR NO REASON AT ALL!
I would not even bid on that its seems like its stolen the condition is “USED”
WOW!! this is sick!! I want..no I NEED it!!!
what about the software…??
that shit looks power full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the back of the unit looks like a you can hook it up to a computer monitor plus it has a long wifi antenna .
the whole unit looks like a PC version of the PSP. Cool stuff.
or a PSP with a giant external drive ^^
what’s the point? might as well by PS!! no more portable!!
it’s still a computer! both the PSP and the PS-PC are computers
guys i need help i have a slim psp and i want to know if i can get infrared remote on it version 3.80 m33-5 thx
Heh, I’ve used these before during playtest sessions at Sony. Very nice equipment.
Gotta love how it can emulate a DVD drive as a UMD drive. :B
yea I agree perfect for that stuff. and conserve battery. But I cant recall if the dvd drive plays the psp game faster than the umd drive itself/
I have one… bought one a year ago.
Yay! Highest bidder!
I’ll bid 1 pound for it but will pay twice as much to people who will WAKE UP to the fact the FOURTH REICH IS NOW HERE..
Whilst everyone is being entertained more and more the more we are all being diverted from what is really happening.
LOOK AROUND PEOPLE THE POLICE STATE IS TAKING SHAPE - CHINA IS THE BLUEPRINT OF THE FUTURE AND THAT MEANS A GLOBAL ENSLAVEMENT.
WAKE THE FUCK UP - EDUCATE YOURSELVES
FOURTH REICH WILL BE THE WORST
u know what its true but before that happens iam going to eat some cake want some?
No its not… it’ll come in 2069. lawl69……
December 2012.
omfg this is incredible f
It is a computer lad’s
learn how to program or even just play around you will get it,
I used the original Sony UMD tools and have gotten the same setup and all, but more, other then that, that this is no good, or useless I should say
if i had to describe how useless this machhine is…… isay rip all the parts outta this thing and make something useful out ofi t nt test garbage movies o umd for it pathetic
what I find funny is that the search “DTP-L1500-A”
on google only brings this auction up, its the only result. Therefore if he isn’t suppose to be selling this, it could very well get closed down.
I still see no use for this. If you have the right apps and stuff for both PC and PSP, you can do the same task via the Memory Stick can’t you?
That’s right. :) You can test ISO backups straight from the ms. I do it (almost) on a daily basis.
Remove the -A from the end of the product ID. i see multiple results….. Some on japanese pages as well.. And not just for this auction either. Browse a bit, I can see specs on one page…
me again i say we make this thing give birth to a newer psp then both the slim and the phat psp and we got ourselves a better product ;)
i say we let some one like dark alex get his hands on this baby i would so donate money for him to buy this and make a hole bunch of homebrew stuff imagine that a umd full of homebrew (Drools) i say we let someone with the ability to make homebrew apps get there hands on it and then they can contribute back to the homebrew family
but…why??!? UMD=Dead technology
obviously you can’t read, this doesn’t make umd’s, it lets you use a dvd AS a umd to the psp that is permanently attached to the giant pc tower. It is worthless and Dark Alex would have no use for such obsolete technology.
LOL why buy an UMD filled with homebrew ? That doesn’t make sense… The hombrew apps are constantly being developed. Would you rather buy an UMD with IR Shell 3.7 or would you rather just download IR Shell 3.81 (the latest) and put it on your memory stick ?
Think about it. :)
And they’ve already said this CANNOT write UMDs, only read them (for test purposes), which you can do it yourself anyway straight from the ms. Now go “test” some ISO backups !
what the fuck is this big thing.
and why carry a ugly monster around just to play UMDs and CDs and w\e DVDs.
You fuckin numpty. Its for DEVELOPMENT! YOU DONT CARRY IT AROUND WITH YOU JUST TO PLAY UMDS!
I am no expert but i cant see no point why we should buy this. You can’t burn, You are just using that big piece of machine for some kind of drive. What does this machine really do? Can you develop from this machine. Can we do that on a regular pc? What is so special about this?
I think that through IR Shell you can run backups from the PC’s HDD. So that’s right. Basically you can do the same thing with a normal PC. You’ll get ripped off if you pay for this. Well, unless it can actually WRITE UMDs, but that’s uselss too because the PSP can read the backups from the memory stick (on custom firmware).
I guess the only reason why it’s so special is because it’s an official sony UMD testing..doohicky.. By the sounds of it, it’s only for testing only. The only people that would want to buy this is to either show off to all their friends for bragging rights or because they are a sony collector.
And by the looks of things this hardware is stolen maybe from some big company or something.. after all.. the bloke/lass that’s selling it lives in ‘west london’ (sorry to all you readers that come from there, don’t t take offence to this remark)
none the less it’s for development testing only so if anybody here is reading this n thinking about buying this, please remember it’s
A- Most likely stolen and illegal
B- you ain’t gonna burn UMD’s from it..EVER
C- your gonna blow your monies on a piece of hardware that would most likely get you into some deep crap (if stolen or something)
Hi guys, i noticed a lot of hits to my listing coming from this site, so i thought i’d say hi and thanks very much!
Just to let you know its not stolen. I’ve got nearly 1600 feedback. If i’d stolen 1600 items i think someone would have noticed by now :)
As for the comment about West London, that just made me LOL. West London is a pretty big place!
Anyway, thanks again guys, lets hope the unit goes to a good home :)
holy shit some hacker like dark alex get that shit plz
SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE! Than phat box has got an MS-DUO slot, so maybe it could be of some use… the thing ist that we don’t know witch OS it has, so we don’t know if normal apps or compiler will work on it! othersides, you may use it to experiment large homebrew apps! If it’s a testing system, it emulates PSP’s OS as well, right? that means an PSP EMU!! maybe wit 10 times mor power, just perfect to build untill perfection other emus, just like Sega Saturn’s emu for PSP! Maybe it’s not that useless! I gues you can even change the DVD’s drive lenses or the whole thing and get it to burn DVD’s and so, but again, I don’ see any big use for that… LOL… But think, if it has, infact, a PSP OS system, it may be usefull for homebrwe testing issues!
you are all punk biaches and know nothing about psp.. this machine is useless
You redneck fool, it’s useless for hips of shit like you, for example, but for someone with any kind of knowledge, it’s for sure a great piece of hardware, you dumbass
this guy who is sellin this psp carp lives in Brentford west London,
is not far away from me i can go rob this guy, lol
jokes
so can u hook this up to the tv and watch ur umd movies on the big screen???…..cuz that would be awesome……otherwise..i dont see the big deal about this machine….its a testing machine.
“hook this up to the tv and watch ur umd movies on the big screen”
LMAO
Just download the fucking movie, in HD even.
anyway, i can see the thread has gone the normal route of childishness and nonsense about robbing me (joke or no joke), so i’ll say thanks for the serious comments and sign off. If you see any more comments from ‘badgerbaiter’ they arent from me.
Cheers
GP
so it’s a UMD driver for the PC?
:D pretty awesome
Ummm it would appear this unit is just for testing… If your a developer you already have all the software for creating the stuff so this is truly just a testing ground… As the dude way above pointed out http://www.pspimages.net/pspdevelopertool.php the comment says it all… Great for developers… Probably even great for a hacker to test stuff on… Not much else…
wow, u guys are actualy intersted in this crap..?
Yeah we are… Some people enjoy the challenge of hacking…
that is very cool. we need to hack that so we can write data to umd’s! then we’ll have umd downgraders, umd cfw upgraders, different games on one umd, you name it. hahaha!
To the average Joe, this seems cool and everything, but would serve no purpose whatsoever. However in the hands of an accomplished PSP Hacker, it may be a useful tool, even with modding capabilities to someone who knows what they’re doing. I would recommend not bidding on this unless you are a serious hacker/developer.
GEEKS GO HERE A PAY ATTENTION WATCH THE WHOLE MOVIE. ITS THE TRUTH
zeitgeistmovie.com
WOW that zeitgeistmovie crap is Boring Put me to sleep in less then 2min LOL and looks like some 15 year old kid Made it =p
its all gay and does fuck all lalalalalalala
aahh its been taken down
Well what did you await of something that has most likely been stolen in the first place as developers do not just randomly sell those things…
and people with 1500 ebay feedbacks dont go around stealing things.
It was removed at Sonys request. They sent a legal document to ebay stating the sale infringed their copyright. (in other words they dont want you lot to get your hand on it ;) )
doesnt mean whoever he got it from got it the legal way ;)
And developers are not allowed to RE-SALE/give away development kits provided by the console companies at all whatsoever.
thats not necessarily true, just because someone has a large amount of feedback does not mean there warez are not stolen. the simple fact he has such high feedbacks would seem to make it easier for him to sell stolen items since well people wouldn’t suspect they are stolen, i mean you don’t suspect him/her.
This listing (160183420016) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number.
If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it canceled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay.
hahahaha lol removed
who gives a ratz arse about this? But, doesn’t change the fact that i still want one just to want one n to have one and nothing more.
It’s not too expensive… it’d be a nice rare piece to have.
*KNOCK**KNOCK*
hello sir, your nicked! for trying to auction usless stolen goods…..
what a fool, obviously didnt know that ebay users are tracable
I hate to point this out… But what is actually the point of this device… The only obvious advantage I can see is that it allows you to play games from a DVD disc instead of from a UMD… What’s the point when you can just run ISOs off the memory card anyhow? And, this thing is hardly portable, is it!
It seems to me that people were all to willing to spend money of something which wouldn’t actually offer any more real functionality than what custom firmware already offers!
And, you’d most likely have to use the sony official firmware on any bundled PSPs which rather defeats the object of psp hacking anyway!
WOW! PhantomFreak you need to wipe the MAN-JAM off yo glasses! where did you see the “DVD” logo on this pc? wait you didn’t! i seen a “UMD” logo on the pc, but no “DVD” logo! so therefore wtf even makes you think that it plays dvds?
your whinning about people spending money on a UNIQUE ITEM (you know you ain’t got 1) that offers no REAL functionality, then why don’t you bitch about people spending money on the stupid assed NINTEND0 W11? a REAL piece o crap (no better graphics, no better games, and wow they used a big dvd instead of a small one) and peole are dashing to waste $250 on this crap console? but you dis this 1 of a kind device that even on its worst day has more functionality than a W11
I have a wii, got it for my birthday.
It’s not as bad as you say it is. Although I do complain about the graphics. The games coming out for it soon are going to be great, but since nintendo and its sub-manufacturers are money-hogs they wanted to release all the crap games first to get some $$
The actualy current crap system is PS3 because well. Its a big dissapointment. The wii is beating the ps3 in sales. the ps3 games pretty much all suck. All the games of the year were for the xbox 360 because well…mirosoft kicks ass
he could relist it, and only use a BUY IT NOW only option! if someone buys it before ebay pulls it DONE SALE! so all you guys saying HA HA, STFU cuz you don’t know shit!
And what exactly qualifies you to say this? There is no published specification or functionality. Only industry professionals would know exactly what this device does and what it would be worth! I just think it’s unwise to jump at the chance of buying something which is to all intensive purposes completely useless as the functionality is available elsewhere!
So, get down of your high horse and try to be a little more polite! I know it’s hard for a single cell organism such as yourself, but try!
oh my gosh. U STUPID ASSED RETARDED SOB! dude accept it you fuckin punk! at least i can read the case. WHAT QUALIFIES ME TO SAY THIS? hows about maybe just maybe i’ve sold shit on ebay before and I KNOW HOW SHADY SHIT WORKS ON EBAY!!!!! GOD U ARE RETARDED TO THE FULLEST
Yay… What a reaction… I love pissing off nerds, it’s so much fun!
For the record I wasn’t on about online shady dealings on ebay… I was commenting on the concept of paying so much money for something which is effectively useless!
PS - What the hell is wrong with being a Punk?
this is old news i heard of this about a mounth ago
