Title: psp modification
Post by: Keeweeman-Ape on April 22, 2008, 04:13:21 PM: i am a noob to modding the psp, but i have been using my hacked psp for a while now. Any way, i have been wanting to take out mu umd drive for some time now but i dont want to lose my umd drive capability. So, would it be possible to reassemble the umd drive in an external case that could just be plugged back into the psp for use?
