UMDGen v3.50 Changelog:
--------------------------------

- ISO generation code has been completely re-written and it now a lot more solid. There shouldn't be any more "problem games".

- ISO properties dialog box added. From here you can change build date/time, volume label etc.

- More ISO formats supported - Now supports CiSO, Dax, and Ezip. Note: Ezip support is limited to Opening and creating filelists

- Batch Converter added. Drag and drop ISOs into the batch converter, select the format you wish to convert them all too and sit back while UMDGen converts every item in the list. Convert from ISO/DAX/CSO to ISO/DAX/CSO.

- Relink code re-written. When opening an image which contains relinked items the files will remain relinked even after further modification of the ISO. You can now also relink files in the Layout Viewport - This can make relinking easier without the need to switch from one folder to another.

- Sector View expanded. You can now view files which have been added from your hard drive in sector view - you are no longer limited to viewing the hex of existing files in the open image.

- Dummy Search expanded. Dummy search now also checks files added to the compilation from your hard drive.

- File List import expanded. When importing file lists you now have the option to force LBA - this option, if selected, will not only place all files in the correct order but also match the filelists LBA positions when possible.

- Importing file lists with relinked files is now also supported - any relinked files in the list will automatically be relinked in the compilation.

- UMDGen File Association - You now have the option of associating PSP images (*.iso, *.dax, *.cso, *.ezip) with UMDGen - if associated, UMDGen will automatically open the ISO when double clicked in windows explorer. Because UMDGen is a PSP image editor only, you also have the ability to allow UMDGen to redirect non-PSP images to another application (eg IsoBuster) - when non-PSP images are detected by UMDGen it will automatically redirect the image to open elsewhere.

- Help file added to answer some of the more common questions.

CiSO is a compression algorithim (sp?) for ISO, so yes, CSO's come out smaller. But, DAX is an even better compression.

**Dyze** · 08-04-2006, 07:58 AM

I thought that was illegal... hmmm isnt isoloading illegal???

**david12795** · 08-04-2006, 08:02 AM

well u have to own a copy of the iso if not its illegal then.

not if u have the real game. for me i backuped my Smackdwon vs Raw 06 (if u have the game u all know about the load times), now my loading is almost instant in iso form and clocked at 333mhz. ya, so nice find, i needed something to read .cso files

**logicbomb.de** · 08-04-2006, 11:09 AM

Awesome!!!

I've been waiting for ability to retain/force LBA tables cos some games refuse to work if the LBA table has been altered in any way like Bleach Heat the Soul 3.

I'll give this a try later tonite and hopefully will re-add the all the music tracks to my ripped version.

**Delirium Trigger** · 08-04-2006, 09:54 PM

No, having an ISO on your computer is illegal period, even if you backed it up yourself. It's because UMD isn't an open format like DVD or CD is, so you have to have a license to produce them. Well, in the US it's illegal to have an ISO on your computer even if you backed it up yourself, I'm not sure what the law is in other countries.

**Evab3vA** · 08-05-2006, 02:34 PM

UMDGen is a great tool. Cheers for the update.

**Machina** · 08-06-2006, 10:03 PM

1. ISO's are ileagle
2. UMD Gen is a great program if you know how to use it
3. Thnx for the news Cheers

**Trigun** · 08-06-2006, 10:05 PM

so who cares if it's illegal for us to have an iso copy of a game we own WE BOUGHT it So we can do what ever we WANT with it

**HuMbErToX** · 08-06-2006, 10:50 PM

nice realese

**xart** · 11-01-2007, 08:08 AM

ISO is not ilegal, the ISO format that were talking about here is the format used for CD etc, ISO is a format just like MP3 is a format for music

What is not allowed is making a personal backup of a UMD disc and you make a backup of it in ISO format, well your not allowed by law to do that, no personal backups are allowed, law was changed due to piracy issues and by law you can't even make a exact copy of a music CD, you can change the order and mix tracks with from other CDs, that is legal but not exact copies

ISO homebrew is totaly legal, it is free software that has no copywrite to it so ok to make ISOs of that.

Ohh, I'm going to have to look up that new law, I checked the old DMCA and it stated that backups were allowed for archival purposes only (but the language was outdated), thanks for this info Xart

**El Xando** · 11-01-2007, 12:09 PM

Why did you bump an over YEAR old thread?

**Chaoticgamer** · 11-01-2007, 12:15 PM

awesome. UMDGEN rocks for editing ISOs.
So i guess that makes me an outlaw for backing up my UMds that i own and bought with my money.
