I never knew it was possible. But people are selling PSP pirated games.
I found this out at a shop near my house that sells pirated PS2 and X-box games. They sell you PSP games for Dhs.50 each (Thats like 14 US Dollars) and they put it in your PSP memory cards. I asked how many games they can fit into a 1 gigabyte memory card and they said 4 games. A UMD holds 1.8 gigs right? So how big is is the file size of a PSP game? I'm thinking a whole game is less than 300 MB.
And I asked how they put it into their PCs and then put it into your memory card. They said they copy it from the UMDs themselves. First I thought they downloaded it from the internet. So my second question is: How do they extract the game from that tiny CD Sony calls a UMD? Do they open up the UMD case and put it in their CD-ROMs? I am curious on how they do it. So maybe you can tell me?

Before I even answer this, let me get the requisite public service announcement out of the way: Don't pirate games. No. Bad. Stop. Don't do it. Bad monkey. Go back to pirate land, filthy pirates.
OK, now then, yes, PSP game piracy is entirely possible, sadly. Apparently there are applications floating around that, when installed on the PSP, will rip the games directly to the memory stick. Most PSP games range from a couple of hundred megabytes up to a gig or so, so it's entirely possible to fit multiple games on a stick.
Frighteningly easy, isn't it? So, yeah, don't do it. --A.N.
