Surely people in this thread are filling up their memory cards with goods.

Anyone have a card crap out on them?
Just bought a 64gb and can't help but be nervous about all the horror stories I've read with them. Fingers crossed!
I've had one for 2 and a half years, and it hasn't quit yet(kuwabara, kuwabara). Works fine, haven't had any notable failures. Although it'd be reeeeeal nice if I could get PCSX to work as well as some others have... From what I understand, these are some pretty low quality cards, but even if that's the case, I wouldn't expect immediate failure. You'll probably be alright.

First off, sry for my english.
Second, great work! I'm really enjoying all this jewels. Thanks guys.

Okey, so here we go.

I just got the problem: "RetroArch refuses to accept input". I'm sry. but I jump from page 64 to write this.
Emulator: PCSX from last nightly (2016-10-02_RetroArch-1)
I got this problem right after going to the menu at the same time that "Mad Panic Coaster" was loading the first stage. I read something about not saving state when the game has something to load, but I was just going to the emulator menu.

I allready erase configuration and core.configuration.
Nothing has change.
Uninstall the emulator and reinstall it (same nightly).
Nop.

I dunno if the others cores are affected by this cause I'm testing a memory card dedicated to the PSX.

Sometimes it gets the input, but is highly unnacurated
I press up, it goes to the last option, up again and nothing. When I confirm, the emulator double clicks and goes two folders forward, etc...

Any thoughts?

The seller claims it's new, and offers a 14 day return. Should give me enough time to see if it check out ok.

I dodged a bullet yesterday. Bid on 64gb and won on eBay for $100...without reading the description first (doh!)..seller said it wouldn't format and would throw an error code. Was not easy to get him to cancel the sale lol. But now that situation has got worried.

Got a 64gb card used. I've wrote and deleted hundreds of gb worth of data from it already. (backups, psx roms now).
Been using mai, too. Which dumps writes thousands of files as opposed to one vpk file.
No wear on my sd card yet. It's not as delicate as I've heard they are.

Games consistently crashing with bios usage, not opening, not getting past main menus, etc. Basically, no matter my setup, I can't run a bunch of games, but when I don't use any bios, I can at least get some games to run.

And on a side note, I tried the 10.2 nightly, and it seems to be really buggy for some reason. Doesn't respond to me pressing buttons in the main menu most of the time. Might be freezing up or something. I'll probably just fall back to an older version.

You may be fine. I have two memory cards with one being a 16gb and this came with a OLED model I bought used and it is still fine though this can just mean I got lucky.

The only problem I get with .pbp files is if I put it in sleep mode and come back to the game the next loading screen freezes the game. Do you make the .pbp files your self?

Interesting. I just tried PCSX on the 09-28 nightly build, and it seems to be working. I was able to actually open Clock Tower and Mega Man Legends without immediate crashing. I'll test some more.

EDIT: Damn, even Tomb Raider is working. Well, I guess I found my winning version. Still crashes when you close a game, but it's better than what I've been getting. This is exciting. Anyone know how I can map the shoulder buttons to the right analog stick? It's a little tough to play MML with normal Vita controls.

So I was wrong.
With the new nightly we have access to the touch pad on the back.
But my fingers are messing with this, that's why I can't use the menu properly.

That's a heavy weight off, cuz I really love it since the SNES9x came two months ago.

If you have a l2/l3 r2/r3 grip it shouldn't be too much of a problem. About to try it myself.

Official PS1 games on PSN work in exactly the same way.

I'm waiting for the toolchain to be updated on the buildbot, when that happens you guys will get a new build with L2/R2/L3/R3 support for PS TV and rear touchscreen support for L2/R2/L3/R3.
L2/L3 R2/R3 works good with the recent retroarch builds using the new hori grip. Thanks.
