So I should go around spending a lot on original games for the PSP, then never use them, get another system, download homebrew and roms to play that game instead?

Yeah, no.

I want my mini discs to run their pretty asses for me.

It might work for you with already both systems and the original games already sitting on your desk, it doesn't work for me, not really.

Even running a game from UMD compared to iso from your mem stick pro duo will mean longer loading times and reduced battery time to play the same game on the same system and to what end? Some morality guilt trip you're putting on yourself thinking that a Dev will smile knowing you're having a lesser experience for them? No one knows/cares about you having longer load times and less battery time so why do it?

 

Also the psp disc drive is loud as f when it spins up a game, playing from mem stick the system is silent.

Not to mention UMD "casings" (I guess that's the word)  are made of egg shells. It's so bad that they were selling replacements on Amazon. Everyone I know that had a PSP had to replace at least one or take apart one game and use the shell on another.
