What UMDGEN does is simply dummy the update folder, delete 'boot.bin' and delete any dummy padding files in the ISO image.

Even though it doesn't look like a lot of space, you will see the difference in space when you compress it. I managed to rip a copy of Madden 09 and shave off around 400 MB from the original file size by just doing this in UMDGEN.

Open the ISO in UMDGen, Move to the UMD Properties Tab,and click on "optimize" to remove excess padding, resize dummy data and dummy 'update' folder contents.




Delete BOOT.BIN in SYSDIR. It's not needed unless you're a developer and sometimes it can reduce the size of the ISO significantly.




You can also "relink" pmf files to make the iso/cso smaller.

I'll use this Kingdom Of Paradise ISO an an example:






OP_00.pmf is more than likely the opening cinematic. Right click on it and highlight File Relinker and click on "Use Selected File as Source":





Then right click and highlight the rest of the pmf files in the window, click on
File Relinker and click on

Relink To '\PSP_GAME\USDIR\mdata\usa\OP_00.pmf'




After relinking, optimizing, etc. Save as ISO/CSO.


When the game plays one of the .pmf cut scenes, it will be re-directed to the opening movie. (OP_00.pmf)


You don't have to relink all of them.

With certain games, relinking all pmf files would take away from the story line of the game.

Some ISO have foreign language folders or files, which can be removed as well.

Some ISO have one big file, so you won't be able to reduce the size of the ISO just using UMDGen.

Other games have LBA protecton, which will require following a different procedure to rip the ISO.
