[PSP] PSP Discussion. Hay guys I just got one for Crisis Core, can u help me how 2 hax pls?

Hey, I know this is a huge bump but I really don't want to make a thread on PSPs just to ask one asinine question. This asinine question I speak of is:

I've read that the PSP formats its Memory Sticks Duo cards as FAT32 and only up to 4 GB. I have an 8 GB card that seems to be working fine for the time being full of music and a couple of videos on it but I don't want to risk losing all my data on it if it turns out that the FAT32 system corrupts my shit.

Is this a legitimate concern?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The space limit is bull though. The maximum file size on a FAT32 is 2GB yes, but I don't think it limits the stick itself to 4GB. I mean, there's official 16GB memory sticks (plus Wipeout Pulse) and I doubt even Sony is stupid enough to pull off an oversight like that.


It used to be that the PSP couldn't handle memory sticks over 2GB, but that was fixed with a firmware update ages ago. If there's ever been a limit for 4GB, it's been fixed as well.

I've noticed that I have no problem using PSPWare to load music on to the PSP onto the 16 GB stick but anything after about 8-9 GB shows up as corrupted files. Do you think maybe there's something I can do other than using the PSP's built-in format utility?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Handbrake does the job for me. It has a ton of presets, one of which is a PSP screen optimization. This should help you out.
