Hacking the PSP Blog : PSP UMD Tools Leaked

PSP UMD Tools Leaked

Somehow the PSP UMD Tools (also known as UMD Composer) used by licensed developers have apparently found their way onto the Internet this week. If you aren't sure what PSP UMD Tools are, they're the tools used by licensed developers in order to actually create PSP UMDs. The 10.8MB archive contains System File Editor v1.0, UMD Image Checker v1.10, UMD Image Generator v1.2.7, UMD Stream Composer v1.5, and UMD Stream Viewer v1.5. Although it is not yet been confirmed that these are the actual UMD Tools used by developers and not some non-Sony mock-up, it's pretty certain that the files have been leaked from the official SDK.

With these applications you can create both PMF Files, and MPS (UMD Video) files, but as most of the release notes and readme's are in Japanese, you probably haven't got a chance making a UMD for yourself. The files all come packaged with PDF files that act as the readme files with instructions on how to use each of the applications. As these tools are highly illegal, we cannot host or link to any sites with the downloads on, but you can be sure somebody from Sony will be getting a firm telling off for this if they are the real Sony deal.

NOTE: Do NOT post any links to the files in the comments for this post or the forums.
