32GB Memory Stick MS Pro Duo Memory Card for Sony PSP High-speed

Product Information

While you can technically create any size card from 1GB to 2TB, most people will be looking to create something 64 GB or higher. I want to try to delete them all to force lr-PPSSPP to create new ones and hope that everything works again. With all the cards (again, with the exception of #1) I was able to achieve a 2 x 64 GB cards (using the process described below).

If it doesn't show the correct space then you won't be able to continue on with the next stage of configuration. As we can see from the picture above we can break down these cards based on several identifying factors. After you manually create this folder structure on your PSP drive which has been successfully re-formated via the PC tools you should be good to go in using this card in your PSP.I could not find any options for the MemoryCard in the Retroarch-Options Menu for the lr-PPSSPP-Core. Did i oversee something? This option only selects the optimal number of frames to skip to not to compromise both gameplay. The max frames to be skipped can be limited in the Frameskip option. If anyone tells you that CSO (Compressed ISO) loading speed is negligible compared to ISO, they're lying. This process simply entails re-formatting your card through the PC. After putting your PSP in "USB Connection" mode and seeing the drive letter appear in windows we need to reformat. Unzip the contents of the "PSP 6.61 Pro" custom firmware folder and copy the contents to the Game folder.

Each code can be activated or disabled in the ini directly with _C1 in place of _C0 on the title line. Last identifying trait I want to point out on this front picture is the plastic used. Specifically, if you look at #1 (the genuine article) you can see that the plastic is of a translucent type. If you look at the area circled in green you can see the internal circuit board of the chip. This isn't just because the material is thin and flimsy like #3 it is actually one of the more quality cards in terms of construction. You don't really need to worry about this because the genuine PhotoFast is the only one I've seen that has this translucent appearance, but it is good to know in identifying an original. Try a different CFW (though I doubt it will make a difference as long as both support high capacity). Controls the internal resolution of the graphics, significant performance impact if your GPU is not powerful enough for certain resolutions.This option simulates support for rendering effects not supported by current hardware, but supported by PSP hardware. Fixes multiple graphics problems in a number of games, but decreases performance on weaker GPUs (on smartphones). Disabling can greatly impact performance, and can be a great help in games that do not need this option enabled. After many tests I decided that it was unlikely I was going to ever get a clean format on anything over 128 GB. After reading rsn8887's thread above and seeing that he encountered the same issues I did I gave in to the fact that I probably have to rely on Windows to properly format the cards. If you had a "Format completed" message on your PSP and #1 above is true you can likely stop here and just start using the card.

This depends on what firmware is running on the PSP. I believe that the latest OFW version can support up to 128 GB (though it might be as much as 256 GB). Most of the modern CFW should support up to 2 TB. You should verify what your FW can support before buying anything. Note: Personally I was very concerned when I was unable to successfully format my card using the PSP. My thought process was that if the PSP is not able to successfully format the cards then it likely wouldn't be able to read/write data to them without issues either. This issue kept me from getting a successful build of a high capactity card for months as I searched and searched for adapters and MicroSD cards that would successfully format. At this point the PSP drive letter should show as a good drive on the Windows system and you should be able to browse and copy files to/from it. In some cases Direct3D 11 may offer better performance than OpenGL, especially on integrated Intel graphics. Core options ¶

While it is possible to go 400 GB+ larger cards are going to have speed penalties when loading the card. But in the end other games create new saves and i can start from the beginning and the new saves work. Now - that being said, CSO compressed games are far from unplayable and in most cases won't have you twiddling your thumbs either.

You may opt for a smaller card and use CSOs to save space. Comparable to the speed differential, many games can be compressed considerably from their ISO forms. Modify the Anisotropic Filtering, which fixes the textures on the horizon that are drawn at angles resulting in a better look. after the latest update of Retroarch and lr-PPSSPP i have problems with the MemoryCard with some games. Update your PSP Firmware . Before you begin, make sure your PSP is running the latest firmware version 6.61. If your PSP is able to connect to the internet, you can update it over the internet by selecting System Update in the Settings menu. Otherwise, use the following steps to update your PSP:Additionally, all my tests were done with MicroSD cards up to 200 GB capacity (because I got a good deal on them). This means the largest high capacity setup I have personally tested is 400 GB. Theoretically, the information in this guide should be attainable for MicroSD cards of 256 GB, 512 GB, or even 1 TB in size. Practically however it may be that the adapters on the market today have a limitation or that the CFW will not indeed support such large sizes. I will leave it up to others who have the available hardware to test this. If you really need all that space on one card and don't mind the waiting while the memory card is initialized each time, then there should be no problems going to the higher capacities.
