    Hi all,
    I have some PSP betas in DVD format and I'd like to know if is there a way to run them in a regular PSP.
    Each DVD has some .IMG files and one .DAT file.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jose.

    If you open the dvd on a mac (and probally also possible on a pc) you can open the bin files. The bin file internals are exact the same as the data of an ripped umd. ... So I think it must be possible, however I never continued my quest for it :)

    Some will run.
    Some will not.
    Without knowing the details, it's a crapshoot.

    The only sure way is a debug or test station.

    Good luck. :)

    Hello, I have a debug unit to test these games, PM me for more info

    I believe I could also convert them to run on a retail PSP with some modifications

    Just drop me a PM if you'd like , thanks

    They look like mini-towers. Pics have been posted on assembler before.

    Thanks a lot to all of you who have helped me.
    It seems to be that one of the IMG files is an ISO archive that I can open with UMDGEN.
    I'm now searching for a comercial PSP. I'll try to downgrade it to 1.0 firmware and see if the Beta simply runs on it.

    Since you found a way to convert them in ISO files that are validated by UMDGEN, any psp that runs iso files will run them : a 1.0 won't read iso, only very early EBOOTs. Use Devhook or one of Dark Alex's modified firmware to run them, that's all.
