Another feature highlight for ARK-4 CFW, this time around we're covering UMD Movie backups! I've covered backing up UMD based games, but surprisingly I've gotten many requests for UMD Movie backups over the years. With ARK-4's recent updates giving a bit of an overhaul to the process of loading up UMD Movie backups, it felt fitting to cover in a video for both newcomers and already existing CFW owners who might be a bit confused by the updated process. This video explains the recent changes, how to get the latest ARK-4 update, backing up existing UMD Movies, and how to play them back in ISO format on the PSP itself.
