Hi there. I have no idea of programming / hacking / cracking / much at all that concerns these forums, but I've been thinking: how are games downloaded from the ps store stored in the hdd?

Couldn't we copy them using hdd images? I mean, copying bds doesn't work because of that chip that's embedded on the discs, right? When we download a game we bought through the store, there's no chip in the way.

I've never bought any game from the store, so there might be some very obvious reason for this not to work that I'm not aware of.

Why wouldn't that work? I mean, once the game is in your HDD, if you could make an image of it and throw that into another HDD, shouldn't that work?


Just speculating, but what else can I do
