PSP Homebrew ISO Packaging |

So, have you ever wanted to send PSP files to your memory stick in one nice package to avoid long transferring times? Well, PSPMad has released a method that will allow you to do just that! At first, PSPMad released a very popular homebrew application (Lua Player) in ISO format. Up until now, ISO's have mostly been used for illegal reasons, but now there is a legal reason in which we can use it. PSPMad's tutorial has outlined the process in which you can convert a homebrew game into ISO format. Although this process is no where near ideal, it does show an interesting concept. PSPMad's original intention was an attempt to run all homebrew on 2.0+ firmware due to the fact that it can run an ISO launcher (but not execute ISOs). Although, as many PSP veterans are aware of, you can not bypass the GTA exploit limits unless you find and create another exploit. PSPMad's concept was interesting, but it just didn't work correctly.
On 1.5 however, this method does serve a purpose. It is easier to send one package in the mail than it is several packages, and this method can be looked as the "one package" method. By compressing a homebrew in ISO format, one can transfer a single, compressed file to there PSP which drastically decreased transfer time on larger programs (that contain numerous files). Converting the homebrew to ISO format and loading it will take about 4 times the time it regularly takes to launch homebrew, but this is an interesting concept otherwise. This process isn't ideal, nor does it push us futher in our knowledge of the PSP, but you never know what the future may hold!
If you wish to give this a try yourself, you may download the Lua Player ISO below.

Torrents aren`t compression,fru it loops in a box is not compression.

Since they both use different methods to run homebrews, I'd like to know.

Compressing the ISO with the DAXZISO creator may or may not make it smaller. It's all a matter of how well the files in the ISO can be compressed.
And no, this really won't change the minds of ISO opponents. I have no problem with ISOs of legal files. I still have just as much a problem with the ripped UMDs.

If i pack all my worldly goods into a box does that mean everything i put in has been compressed? No i just means theres one single box with lots of items inside.
Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image
You tell me where it says that iso is a compression.

BTW: #36 - easily fixed - make your app write to a fixed place on ms0:/ (e.g. ms0:/PSPRadio/). Things like AOTM already do this．

• You are ignorant.
• You are in-informed.
• You are a proponent of the DMCA.
• That makes you evil.
• That aligns you with powers that intend to cease the free spread of information on the net.
You, my friend, are the enemy.
The DMCA is not only a farce, but against basic civil rights. Its a shame nerds did not catch onto this evil act while it was being blindly passed by the government.
Guess what? I play backups of my games. I dare you to convict me. DMCA won't hold water in court of law. I eagerly anticipate when a real case will test this act - and promptly find it unconstitutiona l.

Even after proof that iso is not a compression format but a container,i gave up trying to tell a kid whats right.I`m 36,but i like my news articles to be correct.

I wonder if it would in fact "compress" it, due to this reasoning:
Normally when you store files it uses a certain number of sectors. Depending on sector size and file size, you can often waste a lot of space in the case where the file size is much less than the sector size. Say for instance the sector size is 1K, and you have 500 .5k files -- you will be wasting ~50% of the space on the storage medium. Now, if you were to concatenate all those files (like putting them into an ISO file), you would only waste the tail end of the last sector. In this case you'd probably only be wasting ~1% of the space.
At least, this is what I think. Anyone care to comment?

Buy a pack of m&m`s,spread them out over a table...then collect all the m&m`s and put them into your lunchbox.Did you compress the m&m`s? No,you put them into a container with no compression and all the ineffciencies of each m&m.
Compress each m&m before you put it in the lunchbox,it still equates to no compression by the container (iso).
