How hard would it be to region unlock umd videos?

ButtonMarkedErase · Sep 28, 2022

If it's not that hard I think I might try to tackle it, as I think I'm one of a few people that actually want this functionality. I'm wanting to have a region free way to access them because I have a japan region PSP with USA umd videos. Do y'all think it'd be like cracking DVD encryption or something completely different?

Did you try ARK-4?

I read on that thread it's not possible.

I wonder why anyone would want to watch a UMD Movie in this day and age? Exclusive content?

It is possible now:

That's pretty nice.

Were there any UMD exclusives not get released on BD/DVD?

Not sure. Acid snake wanted me to test this, but I have no umd movies. Nice addition though.

Preservation. That's enough for some people. Still, I should update my own stuff, it's been ages.

Those little cases with the cover are so cute and funny.

I'd care too, but one of the UMD movie I really liked used the Western score than the original.

I'm talking of course about Ong Bak.

Seen it so many times on DVD and never gets repetitive.

My PSP 3001 is non regional. So far I can play Umd's, downloaded psp games/movies from other countries.
