PMF Player 10: Play Your PMF Files the Legal Way |
Ó
MagiK has done what was once thought impossible (or at least very hard) - allowing your PSP to play PMF files LEGALLY. A PMF file is an MPEG-2 Program Stream which contains AVC video and ATRAC3 audio elementary streams. Some PMF files have chapter information in their headers while some show traces of a psmf library used to interpret that information. A prime example would be the Gameboot.pmf, which is displayed every time you start a homebrew or UMD game. (You can use PSPSet to change this video as well.)"The archive contains the scempeg lib stubs, the pmf player module and a test app. binaries for fw 1.5 are included as well. all the info was obtained by disassembly and sniffing with psplink, but some things are still missing, like finding the resolution of the movie. the test app will try to play a file named 'movie.pmf' from the root of the memory stick. it has no gui but if someone wants to make one, fell free to do so." as posted by developer, magiK.
Some of you might say that this has been done before. A similar pmf player from way back that can, for the most part, do the same thing may come to mind. But what sets this player apart is that it is not just ripped from some game, instead it is made from scratch and has nothing to do with piracy and/or ripping. Thus, letting you enjoy watching your pmf files guilt-free.
Thanks for the tip, Roberto D.M.

Definitely will use this. Thanks.
Its been done, w00t!
LEGAL = AWESOME GW GUYS
where can i find the files
This is great...Now all that is needed is some better performance and the ability to play some atrac3 files within the app...since that's already been done, too. Even better would be the implementation of the two into an already popular homebrew app...*cough*IRshell....
"guilt-free"????!!!! Whoever wrote that phrase.... just stop breathing. Holier than thou anti-piracy *****... my a$$.
yay! thank you!
but running homebrew program in the psp still ilegal lol
Aren't UMD Videos stored on the disc as PMF files? Would this be capable of playing a PMF file extracted from a UMD Movie on the memstick?
It isnt illegal... whats illegal is the pirated stuff being played on your psp... this is fine... but GREAT JOB!
homebrew is not illegal, they are uncopyrighted programs made with a homemade SDK, so they are 100% legal. Even emulators, the only thing illegal abotu them are the ROMs, so no, only illegal stuff on the PSP is ISOs and the ROMs themselves and what exactrlly is all the extra stuff in this file? the makefiles, pmfplayer.sln, etc. Do those go in the root of the mem stick? or what are they?
You don't need them on your memory stick, sln files are used by Visual Studio to manage solution developpement and Makefiles are used to compile sources.
work the program with 2.60?
I knwo what makefiles are for, but I didnt know what the sln were for. why are they included, but not in the source folder tho?
the sln is still something generated by vstudio
what use would a 2.6 user have for this? im on 1.5 and id use this to look at mpf files to be flashed onto my psp as a new gameboot. everyone has prince of persia now.... =(
Nice, let's hope some1 will add a GUI to it.
Works fine, and is much easier to installer than the other PMF Player. That one is still better because it can play three PMFs in a row whereas this one plays only one. Now that this version is out, hopefully someone will make a GUI and extend the options.
I dunno about this app... I tested a couple of files of the ICON0.PMF kind and none of them worked...I later tried some UMD pmf files from the following games: Coded Arms...Ending and others = didn't work Ridge Racers...Ending and others = didn't work Wipeout Pure...some pmf files = didn't work I did rename every file to movie.pmf and tried them all individually with the app. Sometimes the PSP would freeze, but it never crashed...but I never got a single image, just a black screen...Anybody have success with this app? How did you do it? BTW to the people who are noobs to .pmf files and such, go fetch a homebrew application called File Assistant, that will allow you to copy and paste the .pmf files from your UMD games/movies to the memory stick. Just a little help from a friendly PSPerson XP.
If you actually follow the link at the below the download you will find the original post at ps2dev.org and a guy has put togeater a simple gui for this app.
Get 71M to add this player to Fileassistant? because that would sure make it easier to watch them straight off the UMD ~or~ make it so that you can view them from a named list. because oe at atime is kind of time consuming, with transfering and renaming.. but good work nonetheless
"all the info was obtained by disassembly and sniffing with psplink," Eh, that isn't exactly legal. If you needed to disassemble to get or even WRITE the code, then you have done it illegally. Sorry guys, this is no more legal than it was before.
The older pmf player that was no more illegal than this one worked better.
i never feel guilty bring on the torrents
im just curious what is pmf and why would i want to view pmf files? then i also ask does it take up less memory than mp4 format and what makes this legal? btw does this work on 2.6?
So, if you are able to build this application from scratch. At the same time learning how to decode the pmf format. Do you think you will someday be able to reverse engineer that so as to make a pc based .pmf encoder? I think this is the question that people should be asking. oh and BTW someone make a slick GUI for it. I would but no time..........maybe i will.(well graphics atleast)
wow, I used it and it works like a charm!
one good question, how do i use it, and also when there will be programs for both MAC and PC's for it please?
Ok, so we could play PMF files, big whoop, why's everyone so excited?
And how do you think that the whole pspsdk has been built? It has been totally build from reverse engeniring games and the firmware. So, is the pspsdk and all homebrew illegal?
Hey, what is this for? I use the PMP container format and it's great! And, how do you convert into PMF? Help me out here : >
People need to stop asking how to convert to PMF, or where to find a program to do so....There is no such thing out yet. PMF is a SONY UMD exclusive movie/video format... Everybody here who owns a couple of UMD's (games/movies/audio...just in case you noobs don't know what a UMD {Universal Media Disc} is...XP) for their PSP might have noticed a little footage playing in the PSP main menu when you highlight the UMD Icon... That is the simplest form of a .PMF formatted video...and that one in particular is called ICON1.PMF. Also...Many of the movies played in-game are also (sometimes, not all times) formatted as .PMF video files. So again...NO, there is still no way to make these .PMF files, and secondly, this app is the second TEST-homebrew that has been released to be able to play .PMF files...So there you go...Now stop acting NAKED and DUMB and return to more important things in life, like burning ants with a magnifying glass.
You guys remember a programmer called [Lande] who made UMD ripper+pmf player and some other stuff? Well he sent his PMF player here and the poor guy got flamed by this site and was told his code was "stolen". It made him so mad he stopped making his PSP tools in english. This must be what they mean by "playing pmf files the legal way" since this player is supposedly origional code altho [Lande] didn't 100% program his own pmf player (he used parts of sonys code) he was the first one to make this. The reason for the stupid commentary on this is because of how bad this site treated a great coder like [Lande]. One last thing... they can go and say this is "legal" but you also have to realize the PMF files that this plays ARE NOT!
