UmdNetRipper: review requested

Hi,

I posted today UmdNetRipper0.1 on http://umdnetripper.dev.psphacks.net.

UmdNetRipper is a UMD ripper that can transfer the full contents of a UMD over the wireless
network. The source code is included for those wishing to see how it works and maybe even
recompile it. Also included is code to turn your PC into a server for receiving and un-folding
RIP files.

Benefits:
- it's a *lot* faster than ripping a UMD into the memory stick!
- you don't need a separate FTP or other server.

I 'd appreciate comments from anyone who would like to test UmdNetRipper and send me a
review (or post it to the forum).

Note: *please* use UmdNetRipper just to create your own ISOs from your own UMDs and for
nothing else! Please don't give out pirated copies of your UMDs!

Thanks!

Yes, I 've written the code, but it is mostly reused work from others.

Re: UmdNetRipper: review requested

yeah they got a new PiMP streamer too so u can watch avi,mpg,etc movies and keep em unconverted+ on your computer and watch them on the PSP.  the new versions alot less buggy so u can actually watch something w/ it and its really good quality.   With this I bet purty soon they'll be a way to play ISO's off your computer thru wifi instead of putting them on the MS lol

Re: UmdNetRipper: review requested

That would be insane if you could stream iso's through your PSP via wifi. Wow I could have like 40 iso's open to my PSP at one time that would be awsome. Without carrying the original UMD's around or the ISO's in my memory stick. Looking foward to someone who can pull off that. But I have a question didn't they have a program a while back that could do that. I think it was called UMD FTP or something like that. It got discontinued after some time because the author said he thought it would be more useful if you could acess the UMD tray via USB cable. But someone should check it out. Because I don't open my laptop to ad hoc connections so I never really try these types of things out. But I do have a wireless router for web acess. smile


1 God 1 King is truly a king big_smile He saved me from leaving the scene, but kindly donating his PSP to me. Anybody who talks to him on these forums, is not worthy of his kindness =P THANK YOU 1 GOD 1 KING!!!!

It seems that this is a very popular idea these days. To write such stuff, one would need
something like an ISO emulator which would load ISOs over a network server instead of
the MS. I would not bet on the stability of such a thing, but it looks doable, if someone
knows how to write an ISO emulator (which I do not :-)). Bear in mind though that games
may use the network for their own purposes (multiplayer games, etc.), so accessing the
network during a game doesn't look like a good idea. Probably the best thing to do would
be to store the ISO temporarily to the MS and then use a normal ISO emulator. You can do
this with FileAssistant, if you set up an FTP server with your (own) ISOs. It may take you
some time to store the ISO on the MS, but it won't be too long, plus it will for sure be more
stable than streaming the ISO in realtime during a game.

BTW, did any of you try out UmdNetRipper? Any comments? Did it work for you?

Maybe I did not say that in order to create a connection with a static IP
address on the PSP, you need to choose "infrastructure mode", which
means that you need to have (or to access) a wireless access point or
wireless router. It will not work in ad-hoc mode. Sorry. Other than that,
there are detailed instructions in "Readme.txt", please read and follow
them. Also, please let me know (on the thread or in a private message,
if you prefer to keep the noise down) what went wrong, what message
appeared on the PSP screen, etc.
