I have been looking for this thing since a long time. I have tried UMD dumper and many more software that would help me backup my UMDs to the memory card so that i can play games from memory card even if my UMD gets scratchy and damaged. But i have never got an easy solution like this one. Thanks a lot for explaining it so well...
