I made this video to just fill in some questions like, best practices when soldering, what to do if the adapter keeps springing out or if the adapter gets stuck.

 

[HtheB]

on ebay they are some adapters. i got mine of ebay
256GB sd cards are working perfectly

one more thing (i dont know if its just my card or me) but if you have a large card (256GB). dont copy multiple vpks on it it throws out an error (if i copy only one at time it works)

Please don't tell me you got your microSD card off eBay................

 

[Purple_Heart]

yes but its genuine (paid 60 Euro)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

i copied a few movies befor to test the capacity (ps vita shows 249GB). no problems. my problem is i can install one vpk. the 2nd throws out an error. then i make a backup. formatt it and copy back and install the next. again and again. i dont know why it throws out an error.

Paying a lot doesn't mean anything about it's being genuine .......

Sounds like a fake card to me if it corrupts the second game

 

[Purple_Heart]

[Purple_Heart]

i thought the same..saturn...ebay...WTF?

 

[Purple_Heart]

maidumps are working. vpk are partially working (if i format and setup my sd. the first vpk works but the 2nd throws out an error: 0xFFFFFFFF)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

can i unpack a VPK and install as mai? or is vpk and mai different?. because if i install vpk i get error 0xFFFFFFFF

 

[Purple_Heart]

my sdcard wont be detected with USB in vitashell. it detects only the sony memorycard (with is uma0) can i fix it?

 

[Dogenberg]

I've found some adapters on aliexpress from 3$ to 8$, can i trust them?

Its only 3 to 8 $ but you may be disappointed in the sodering. Could also not last as long etc. the list goes on but again its not like your forking over 15+ to get one. Also takes A LONG time to get it.

 

[Purple_Heart]

if you plan to buy an adapter then look for Golden contacts.

 

[dimmidice]

Ah, okay. Like a poor man's flash cart, right? Very clever. I've never owned a Vita, so I was confused.

It's not like a flashcart really. A flashcart pretends to be a game. This pretends to be the memory card.

It really sounds like your MicroSD card is a fake. Try putting a lot of files on it using a regular microsd reader on pc. I once had one that said it was 16GB but it was a reflashed 2GB one. So any data put on after the 2GB limit was lost and it would error.

 

[Purple_Heart]

ive used it on my 3ds (for testing). copied 120GB of data it worked. only on psvita it is not working

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

i install a vpk...works.
i want to install a 2nd....errors out.
i make a backup of the content format it and flash back and install the next vpk (now i have 2 games)
i have to repeat the same shit every time

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

its not a sd issue

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

i got the sd of Saturn...cant be Fake

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

and my sd has 256GB if it matters

Maybe the vpks are the issue? idk seems off to me. Do you have a different sd card you could try?

 

[Purple_Heart]

no theyre working on my sony memorycard. and i tried a 64GB Sandisk Extreme...same

 

[fire-god]

i have the same problem as Sora Takihawa, it seems like hot swapping the sd from vita to card reader is a problem.
As long as the sd wasn´t in the vita everything is ok, but if the sd is in the vita the first time, you can not use it in the card reader anymore.

I will try it out today, if this is correct we need to transfer the vpk´s over FTP, Wifi (as with the vita memory card before)

So putting it into your pc via sd adapter? or via the vita itself?

 

[Purple_Heart]

you set it up, put it on vita...works. you take it out and put sd via cardreader in pc and transfer something. put back in vita and the vita dont reconize it anymore it shows 0GB of storage (if you have an 1001/1004 model)

[Purple_Heart]
