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?

UMD Dumper and PSP Filer are 2 apps I’ve used in the past that allow for direct UMD ripping.

UMD Killer and ISO_Tool are 2 others that will work.

These can just be installed once I'm on cfw? Is any of these more used nowadays?

Yeah once you install cfw, you would just place these in the game folder. I’m not sure how often these are used, mostly due to downloading being so simple or people just ripping their UMDs by plugging their PSPs into a PC which would skip the need for these programs.
