So my friend is selling his Slim, currently have a phat 3.90-M33. Its a really good deal, since the slim is in perfect condition except it wont read UMDs. My main questions is when i hack it, will games work if i put a random UMD in the drive even though it wont read? or will i be screwed out of playing even my homebrew off the memory card unless i replace the UMD drive?

Homebrew and ISOs will still work, just not UMDs
