I'm aware that the best way to store games in a digital format is to compress them into a CSO file, as this removes dummy sectors (if any) and further compresses already existing content, however, it is not the best way to actually play them without messing a bit with the game clock speed, so, the question is:
Is there any way to just remove the dummy sectors without compressing further? I know there are settings to adjust compression level between 1 and 9 but to my general knowledge 1 is still bigger than 0, or is 1 the "not-compressed-at-all" setting?
I've already used scrubbing tools for Wii ISOs, assuming the logic behind them is the same than what I'm looking for, would these work?
And what would be the best setting performance-wise for compression should I need to resort to that anyways?
Now, I would like people to stay on topic here, so I will just answer now some questions people might make:
--get more storage: not in the right country to buy hardware at fair prices, not the right time to buy hardware, and no budget, bummer
--just try and see if they work: I want to make sure before trying, I'm bound to eventually trying anyways
--keep them somewhere else: I could, but wouldn't want to, USB file transfer is too slow for the PSP
--just use the UMDs: I'm more of an engineer than a librarian
