Default Do you use isos or not?

Sooo, how many iso users do we have here?

And if you do, is it to test games, or don't you buy UMDs at all?


I use iso's to test games. Sure when i first got a 1.50 PSP, was good to download loads of isos, but i've deleted them now, and any game I like, i do buy. Then i bought a 2.50 psp anyway (and sold my 1.50 on ebay and made a profit ) and tis 2.80 now, but Ive also got a white 1.50 psp, which has custom firmware on, and im usin isos to test games again, as when i couldnt use isos, i bought quite a few crap games lol.

I only use iso's to test games out now.

I admit, I have hundreds of iso games but I stopped using iso's a couple of months ago. Now I test games using the iso, if I like them, I buy the UMD and if not, I delete the iso (more to do with space on my hard drive than anything else).

Actually, I only have one iso on my memory card right now and I've been buying games without even testing them first....I might've 'grown out' of using iso's altogether .

I've got nothing against iso's though.

Okay I use them!!! There I said it!!! Everytime I log in I see this thread just looking at me with it's beady little eyes everytime I log in. I'm guilty! I have loads of them. I don't play them though, which is the weirdest thing. Maybe I should just erase them? Nahhhh, why would I do something silly like that?

What is isos? Im assuming they are back ups of original games?

I dont use those mostly because I dont know how to. I have no objection to copies of games. The big companies charge far too much for games and films.

I admit it, I use isos

I do use them mostly for testing purposes though/trying them out, but there are a few games I like but wouldn't buy, so keep as isos

Yeah, isos are back ups of original games, which you can play via the memory card
Have to say, I'm not using them as much for testing any more. I havent bought any PSP games for quite a while - i will be selling some I dont play though, and then will probably buy the ones I like

Yeah, I use isos, i admit it.

I go through phases of using isos all the time, then buying games, then back to isos. Im in iso phase at the moment as I'm trying to save money for a PS3 (lol, ironic heh?)

I learnt a little more from reading posts here since I posted that. I really want to try isos but I need more help. I will use them though. I buy games and find them to be bad then waste money so isos sound great to me.
