Title: Playing R2 UMD movies on US PSP?
Post by: SignOfZeta on October 27, 2010, 08:30:53 AM

I'm running M33 custom firmware (not sure which version as I can't figure out how to detect it) on my Madden PSP and want to watch the UMD movie that came with the Macross Ultimate Frontier LE. Currently, it doesn't work.

I'd like to know if this is even possible before I waste hours online running various firmware only to eventually give up. Does anyone know?

how about dumping the UMD ISO on your memory card and playing it that way?

Yeah, I tried that. The UMD won't even mount in Windows! I'm starting to get the feeling that the UMD Movie region setting is not a soft setting. I think it's built into the board and permanent.

If I had a hacked JP PSP (or possibly euro?) to borrow I could ISO it and copy the ISO to my PSP.

I think if I had the ISO on the Memory Stick it would work, but I have no way to make the ISO at my disposal and I can't find it to download anywhere.
