So I'm trying to put homebrew apps and games on my PSP, so I put them in PSP/GAME since they were in pbp format, but on the PSP they showed as corrupted files. I put the card back in my computer and the folders with the games in them were empty. I also checked and it appears that any new files I try to add are automatically deleted, even if it's in a folder with no association with anything to do with the PSP itself. If it helps I have a PSP-1000 running PRO 6.20 CFW

So your PSP automatically deletes homebrews it doesn't recognize.... Very strange, never heard of such a thing. 🤔
Maybe you have an option turned on in the PSP menu that does this. Mind that not all homebrews work on PSP1000 or you have to use its apposite versions, assuming they exist.

Before extracting the SD from the PC, you must always eject it first with the appropriate windows function, otherwise some sectors (clusters) of it may be corrupted.

That's what I have been doing, but it doesn't seem to help. It was a cheap card off of Amazon so I think that might be why.

So I just made a backup of the things on the SD, formatted it and put the files back and it worked fine, but I'm having a similar issue where it's hiding some folders. So I have a roms folder for retroarch, with a bunch of different folders of games but on the PSP it only shows the Atari folder and some loose files in the base ROMs folder. This time it IS an issue with the PSP since all the folders and files show fine on my computer

I had already told you that some homebrew apps and emulators do not work on the old PSP1000, or require a specific version for it (usually It includes 2 folders, one of them with "%" in its name).
If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

I also found a fix for this issue, I split all the files into more small folders and then they showed.

    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?

    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
