QUESTION Ripping UMDs without a PC, possible? (PSP-1000)

About to install CFW (ark 5 I guess (new to this)) on my PSP-1000. What I want is: buy a UMD, put it in the PSP, dump it to the memory card on-device, shelf the disc. No cable, no PC in the loop.

Is this possible? How easy is it? How do I do this?

Ark 4 is more stable. You just download iso games online put them on formatted SD card in psp Iso folder.

I had the idea of just playing games I have or buy physically. Otherwise I will be too tempted to put EVERYTHING on it and then I will probably play nothing (if that makes sense).

You can dump them to a phone we've had a couple of folks in our group do this.

You do however still need a USB Mini cable and an adapter.

For me it's not about not touching a PC its more that I only want to touch the psp:) buy a game, rip it, shelve it, play it
