A few UMDGen Q's ......

Hi guys! Well I am new to the great UMDGen 3.50 tool, and I have a few questions regarding it....

1) I want to remove the UPDATE folder from my ISOs, and I have been able to do this on a few ISOs successfully. All tested ISOs run OK on the PSP....But my question is, is there ever a scenario, where you remove the UPDATE folder, and the game still works in the start, but gets stuck somewhere ahead in the game ??? I am asking this, because I dont want to play all through the UPDATE-less games to make sure they are OK :D .....

2) Secondly, in UMDGen, when I click the UPDATE folder and hit the delete button, UMDGen deletes that folder, but it does maintain the LBA of all the other positions, right ??

3) Lastly, I have some ISOs, which show the ISO stats in UMDGen (Title, Disc ID, Parental Level, Disc Version, Firmware, Version, picture..), and some dont....So what determines whether these are shown in UMDGen or not...and how do I get these back in the ISOs that dont have them ??

4) Is there ever a scenario, where you convert a working CSO or DAX to ISO, and the ISO does NOT work ??

Thanx all......

1) Not a lot of games work, for example I tried Breath Of Fire 3 (lol I didn't copy it) and it didnt work, so then I had a broken ISO, and I looked for a copy that I didnt remove the UPDATE folder, but I just went and lost my Breath Of FIre 3 ISo..so ya not a lot of them work. (BOF3 i.e)

2) No, its completaly deleted (wel I think, havnt heard of it where it doesnt delete it all)

3) Havn't heard of this but some stats are shown when you select Volume

4) Yes.

1) I know that the game might not work once you mess with the UPDATE folder in any way...thats not what i am asking for....i am saying, that suppose u remove the UPDATE folder and compile the ISO and run it....suppose that it run properly like before....Regarding this kind of a result, is there ever a change that an UPDATE-less ISO might work in the start, but might stop working at some later point in the game ?

2) Sorry, I dont get what u said here....is the LBA maintained or not..?

3) ..

4) So you are saying that there are scenarios where a CSO/DAX could work, but its ISO counterpart wouldnt ?

thanx for the help dude :D

Look at the dates.
Sorry, I was kinda busy on homework for the last week or two.
Okay,
1. Are you telling me it stops during a point in the game? Or it might stop? Or you're asking me if it might stop?
2. No the LBA isn't.
3. Well, I have heard that you can put the box art on the XMB, but if you are looking for those, then no, dont espect to find them in UMD Gen
4. ISO most likely does work if its compiled right.
COS's sometimes work, DAX should mostly work.
