Hopefully, it's okay and just some data was corrupted. In my case, the theme I'm using, its audio goes off after a few seconds, and only returns if i reapply the theme. Also, games and homebrew are slow to open right after bootup.
1. do you mean with chkdsk e: /f or chkdsk e: /f /r or chkdsk e: /r, like after doing any of these 3 via Windows Powershell Admin and it goes from:If the errorcheck exits without errors because it corrected them, then its good. Ya it take some time depending on the fileamount.
You can format the card on PC without problems. Best move all your stuff to pc, hidden stuff need to be displayed by enable "show hidden folders" in Explorer. Then get zzblank.image and flash it with windiskimager to the drive. It will remove every partition entry, because sometimes there are little partition created by other software wich disturb the vita to correct use the card. Then reformat it and copy your stuff back.
If you put a # in front YAMT.suprx and also yamt_helper it will disable it. Some reported problems with unmounted SDCard by using YAMT when also a sony memorycard is insert. storagemgr has the advantage of a boot order, so it can be set first to check for sdcard ux0 then maybe sony memorycard and load the stuff from it as alternative.
I had this issue with Ridge Racer USA, the car engine sound wasn't playing, I did chkdsk e: /f, it showed:Hopefully, it's okay and just some data was corrupted. In my case, the theme I'm using, its audio goes off after a few seconds, and only returns if i reapply the theme. Also, games and homebrew are slow to open right after bootup.
Thank you for your help, after formatting my SD card by plugging it into my laptop via a USB multi-card reader, copied my backed up contents back onto my SD card, everything is working fine:chkdsk X: /f checks and corrects filesystem errors (logical errors)
chkdsk X: /r includes f/, wich will also check and correct bad-sectors (physical errors) by restoring readable informtion and remaping bad-sectors
If the result say errors where found and corrected them or doesnt find any error then it OK. If there where errors which couldnt repaired Windows would tell you like a unspecified error occurred.
To h2testw:
To check the empty drive for corrupt sectors with h2testw and perform a full write and read test, which takes lot of time.
If the test result without error, i refer to the ps vita hacks guide to build a new SDCard and put the stuff/games again on it, to prevent there are still corrupted files. And check the SD2Vita Adapter for dirt on or inside it, also check the cardslot. Some user reported problems because the Card wasnt correct insert or deep enough. YAMT doesnt need to be reconfigured, it should work as would you insert a secondary microsd with PSVita stuff on it.
- Because it needs writing test-data to each sector (.h2w files), backup your drive before.
- h2testw is mainly a tool for identifying fake SD-Cards, it doesn`t repair anything! Run chkdsk /r before, or you might get false positiv errors.
- Depending on drive speed, it takes ~3h per 100gb drive size to complete.
Another suggestion:
There could also be wrong order in the config.txt .Or plugins are conflicting. Try this order and the yamt_helper in first position over 0syscall6.skprx. Also disable the other not necessary plugins under *kernel, to check if they have a conflict.
*KERNEL
ur0:tai/yamt_helper.skprx
ur0:tai/nonpdrm.skprx
ur0:tai/0syscall6.skprx
ur0:tai/repatch.skprx
ur0:tai/itls.skprx
Then refresh taiHEN in Vita Configuration -> Henkaku Configuration to take over. Then reboot the system to make the system load them.
Info: To uninstall YAMT run the latest installer.vpk wich should ask to uninstall it. Or just disable it like other plugins and try storagemgr if you think you can do it.
Second info: In this thread godereborn and I helped another guy to setup his PSVita TV from scratch (including rehacking) till the end. Best check it out for some troubleshooting. Its for PSVita TV, but they are same exept the USB-port. So if you like to rehack the console and want to stay on your firmware instead upgrading, hacking, downgrading and hacking again. You can directly stay on your firmware version 3.60 or 3.65. You need to install a offline update file by following this guide.
YAMT and storagemgr are manger to mount the storage devices that they can be used on the Vita. They do nothing with the files on the storage medium.1. If I completely remove YAMT, will all my games, updates and DLC on my Sd card be gone?
Note: I removed the official Sony 4GB memory card after using it when modding my VITA 1K and I haven't formatted it yet,Try this order and the yamt_helper in first position over 0syscall6.skprx. And verify that the this *.skprx files are located in ur0:tai/. And disable temporary the other not necessary plugins in the *kernel section below itls.skprx. To check if the vita works flawless by only using them, which it should normaly.
*KERNEL
ur0:tai/yamt_helper.skprx (or storagemgr.skprx)
ur0:tai/nonpdrm.skprx
ur0:tai/0syscall6.skprx
ur0:tai/repatch.skprx
ur0:tai/itls.skprx
Then refresh taiHEN in Vita Configuration -> Henkaku Configuration to take over. Then reboot the system to make the system load them.
If still problems appear caused by sleep mode with Yamt and the memory card error. By using a sony memory card, reformat it by the system settings (It might be used as fallback storage). Uninstall and reinstall Yamt or try storagemgr.
EDIT:
YAMT and storagemgr are manger to mount the storage devices that they can be used on the Vita. They do nothing with the files on the storage medium.
And yes, just remove them and follow the guide.
