Redump Forum

The game is still playable when merged, since it's the first partition. Only the video part will not work.

So we definitely want to merge for redump? seems like it might be an advantage to just leave them separate, or leave the movie part out altogether...

Merged or unmerged would both be fine for redump. The disc form would need to be updated if we want to keep them separate.

Unmerged is making a lot more sense to me tbh. iRobot, thoughts?

Game & Video partitions may be located on different layers or even different disc sides, but to get that we would need the PFI.

If game partition is on layer0 and video partition on layer1, merging both together could be right or wrong, depending if there is a gap after the game partition with padding data.

Unmerged does not really sound right to me BTW. It would only make sense to me if those discs are doublesided single layers.

The disc I have "UCJB-98306" is single layer (ringcode has the 0000-00000). I'm still not sure if there could be a gap or not. The file size "905314304" is almost the maximum for a SL UMD "906362880", so there's only 1MB left free.

Has somebody ever tried to get the disc holder out of a psp and put it onto a standard pc drive to make the dumps?

I was planing to try that, but never got to that.

Not that I'm aware of. It would be nice to see if it worked. I don't have any with a broken case to test with.
