Dual layered UMD

[LC 44]

I was thinking this morning of the possiblility of san Andreas Stories (GTA on psp seems vacant without it)

 

and I was going through possiblites in my head of how this could be possible. Since San andreas was like 4 GB game or something like that.

 

Then I was wondering if it was possible to have a dual layered UMD, if they arnt already?

 

secondly maybe the game could have 2-3 GB install on to the memory card. I mean we have 16 GB pro duos now

From what I've heard, the 1.8 GB UMD's are the dual layered ones...

The single layered were about 900Mb

I've seen ripped versions of San Andreas, that were so made that it only took up 600~700MB on a CD (note that I do NOT condone piracy here). However, it won't be feasible on a PSP, since you have to decompress it (which takes a very long time), and the fact that ripped versions don't have audio just really sucks.

 

It is possible, although Sony would still need to develop a better UMD format. And with that, a new PSP model will be needed.

Currently, some record companies are going to replace CD's with just putting their music on memory sticks, which provide more space, more mobility and more versatility. I'm sure PSP game makers can do the same in this case. I think it would be a step in the right direction, though it's easier to rip and piracy rates would skyrocket.

The game could be installed on a Memory Card but that leaves out the peope with the old 32mb card, and also if it installed onto the Memory Card that leaves it open for hacking and modding which I know Sony and Rockstar don't want.

Ripped versions just dont have any radio stations. Would be possible but way less fun. maybe they could include a pro duo stick with the radio stations and a disk witht the game on it !

It would be great if it was installed on a memory stick, just like the PSone games you get on the Playstation Store,

 

Or maybe it could be like the old final fantasy games on PSone, where the game is on 2 or 3 discs, As long as the map and vehicles fit on one UMD, this would work as they could add these to all the UMDs

 

Maybe like this:

UMD One - Game Map, Vehicles and Los Santos missons

UMD Two - Game Map, Vehicles and San Fierro missons

UMD Three - Game Map, Vehicles and Las Venturas missons

 

Maybe in the future Sony will make a PSP that uses Blu-Ray UMD, yeah the memory won't be like the larger discs of 25GB/50GB, but I think they will get about maybe 5GB/10GB on the UMD

Sorry to say this but

 

Media type Optical disc

Capacity 900 MB (single layer), 1.8 GB (dual layer)

 

//edit: But what about if they did this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-Ray#Mini_Blu-ray_Disc

Nah, that ain't gonna work, we'd have to switch at least every 20 minutes. also, the map doesnt take up that much space (about 800mb, that'd fit on one disk!) ( and the missions are just a few mbs in total (its just script)). The radio is the real problem.
