New loader for PSP
Found a new PSP loader tonight. The main difference with this loader is its ability to load compressed ISO files. Compressing the .ISO file saves some of that precious memory card space and allows you to carry more games around on it. On my initial tests I have been quite impressed. I have been seeing compression savings of around 30%.
Its very easy to use. Just copy the files from the download to the memory stick. There is a piece of software that you leave on your pc to perform the compression. Its very simple, when you run it it prompts you to locate the .iso file, it then asks where you want to save the compressed .dax file and what level of compression you want to use. I found that on a decent PC even the highest level of compression didn’t take too long to complete. Once it has compressed the file, copy it to the ISO folder on your psp and run the loader program. This loader is pretty much like some of the others that are around where you can select which iso you want to load, select the PSP speed etc but it also has a nice feature where it will integrate direct with the MPH game loader so you don’t have to use that separately.
I can definitely see a use for this loader. Im not sure how Im going to manage it though, do I just compress the games as I copy them to my PSP or do I keep a separate copy of the compressed ISO along with the original to save me having to keep compressing it.. time will tell.. well worth a look though.
