Obsolete Tech This Week: The UMD - A Forgotten Format
Welcome to another episode of Obsolete Tech! The show where we dive into the tech and gadgets that time has left behind. In today's episode, we're taking a deep dive into the UMD (Universal Media Disc), Sony's ambitious attempt to revolutionise portable media for the PSP (PlayStation Portable).
What was the UMD, how did it work, and why did it never catch on? We'll explore the rise and fall of this quirky format, examining its impact on gaming, movies, and the tech landscape of the mid-2000s. Was it ahead of its time, or just another format that couldn't keep up with the digital revolution?

Putting USB C In The Original Game Boy - Easy First Time Modification
When PSP launched in 2004 and 2005 digital downloads were a bit off from where it needed to go, it was essentially a non-factor
When I put my miyoo mini back together the power button is loose and does not turn the system on anymore. Any thoughts on what I should do?
Hey mate, when you press the power button does it feel like the button on the board is pressing? Or is the plastic button on the shell not making contact? Make sure the battery is fully connected. The mother board might not be fully in place, could try opening it back up and making sure the plastic clips along the outside are all holding the board correctly. Let me know how you go, hope this helps
@_2ndliferetro it doesn't appear the plastic button is making contact. I couldn't really identify if there was a rubber piece on the motherboard that was missing or not. I worry that when I tried to screw everything back together that the power button wasn't set correctly before I tightened the last screws, which I could imagine may possibly have broken something off the motherboard. Really bummed. Feel like I just lost my best friend :(
Nooo! Not the miyoo! If you like, send some pictures of the power button area and the mother board to me on instagram (2ndliferetro), can have a deeper look and try to get it working!
@_2ndliferetro I'm sure that would take entirely too long and get me no where.
They should had used Minidisc format instead or even better Hi-MD .
gods of war?
UMDs were a terrible format in objective terms. Slow, noisy, ate up all the battery, too big. all those characteristics made even worse by portability. Cartridges would have been a lot better.
4:25 I mean most people either have DVD player or PS2, so yeah watching movie on the go is the only thing what make UMD Movie last little bit longer at least when you compare PSP size with portable DVD player size back then.
Truecbecause both are like a dsi xl vs ds/ds lite both are compact and portbale but orher than music if you use an sd card the larger dsi xl has not as much ability with the internet being most likely not useful even if hpmebrew/modded hardware is used for a dsi or in this case dsi xl vs the bacjwards ocmpatible with gba ganes for one player mode onthe ds and ds lite.. similar to the the larger but only music cd possibly mp3 cd and picture cd or movie compatobke on dvd portable dvd players and nkw ig portable blu ray players idk mucj about portable blu rya if anything at all but ueah because the psp I read can do ,ovies but obviouslycalso games and music.. so neat :D also its a more compact system.
I loved my PSP when i was a kid. i wish i knew where it was now. Dude you should do one on mini disks and there players. Remember when they were cool and the BOOM, mp3 players came out.
Huge fan of the PSP when they came out, and passed that love on to my kid, who "inherited" my psp and started collecting the UMDs. Great video! Love the new series idea!
Absolutely great job, nice repair man
12:33 thats what she said
Link to the shells? I need to find a pink one for a friend of mine
Is it possible to put an oled screen on a dsi ??
complete waste of time didnt upgrade anything MISLEADING TITLE
i swear to god, the ribbon cable on those things are made with evil, is so a bad design, i lost 3 screen replacement of my 3ds trying to replace the shell to a new one hahahaha, that metal piece always cut the cable until the 3rd was the charm
"yOu miSleadeD uS =(...." Two minutes in one could tell that all this video showcased was a refresh, nobody asked ya'll to stay the whole 40 lol. Good video!
I have a black DSi. You can get in matte or shiny black. I personally have the matte black version.
nice
I repair and mod all game consoles, the Gameboy and PSP families are my favorite to repair and "modernize", or just put fun mods in them for resale
I have an old black DSI and as far as I can remember, its always been matte.
A glossy Cherry Red and Forest Green DSi were released as a Christmas special in Japan iirc, and as a Mario Party DS combo pack here in the US. Otherwise, most DSi were Matte, with a metal looking dark blue in the States as well. (and as a note for everyone thinking about doing this, it's best to leave the screws with a little slack so you don't overtighten and so you can open it later if there are issues. Screws can get stuck!)
I thought this was Dankpods video 😂 great editing
dont see any upgrade here, its just a repro and that washer, youre installing it wrong you sould use plyers
It's 1:24 in the morning, I have to go to work in 4 hours, yeah, time to watch a 40 minute video on something that I'll never do.
American here, the bri'ish man ment Home Depot hotdog
another aussie tech channel
My friend had a black DSi when we were kids. It was indeed a matte black!
Do a video on God Hand & Urban Reign.
uh, mother/earthbound wasn't "failed", it was a successful trio of games and its creator just doesn't have any desire to create more of them? ness and lucas have become mainstays in smash bros too
Yeah for sure, it’s definitely beloved, especially now, it wasn’t a success when it was released in the west though, that’s why we never got the second (third) instalment. But like I said, fans loved it enough that they later created an English patch for the Japanese sequel
The fact there are 3 games in the Mother series and it gets rep in Smash with Ness and Lucas very much make it a franchise. It's simply a dormant/finished franchise.
Maybe franchise was the wrong word, changed the title to better reflect what I meant
I always saw eternal darkness at the store but never got it. The wii had been out for a year or two and i still saw it at the store for 50 dollars. I was like "why". So i was curious so i bought it. It was alright though not worth 50 dollars at the time i purchased it.
13:06 skrillex ass beat lmao
If you ever have problems with the small items not sitting in place warm up a tiny bit of blue tack or equivalent and it stays in place
Have you noticed on the obi wan campaign it crashes on the analogue Pocket? Its like the 4th or 5th level. It saddens me.
do it gamer peeps, we love a teardown to eat to! might do something to my 3ds xl if there's a worthy upgrade.. gl 👒👒🏏🏏
How did I get here?
the Original DSi black is indeed a matte black
such a misleading title, honestly wanted to learn about dsi modding, but this was such a waste of time
I have always wondered what that mat was called ?
Love to see another smaller Australian channel. Keep up the good work brother.
why does this look like a modern foldable phone when closed
Steam sales haven't been what they used to be. Its been nearly a decade since I've seen a decent Steam sale for games that I don't already own from previous good Steam Sales. Sure they go on sale more often, but they don't go on sale for as deep a discount as they used to
that nes rom filter is so good and so bad
why does this have so many dislikes
i got sex with stalin for free does that count?
Hahah I’ll give you a free pass
The only saving grace for those games are their reviews 😂
I see great potential in this one
Gotta get out my DS now!
Are you a Game Boy channel?
We focus on mainly retro content. A mix of games, consoles and modding!
Just clicked on this to say that this is a very well made thumbnail. Thank you, Kanye, Very Cool!
Sounds like Console Peasant propaganda.
as a pc gamer for like over 30 years... this comment is weird
Doing modifications to any ds system for me has been unlucky. Caused me many disasters. Seeing other people with the patience to make it all work is inspiring. I have a 3DS XL I would like to attempt a capture card install again, but last time I managed to mess something up horribly, and I had to trash the whole system.
