I have 2 sandisk 16 gb micro sd cards and I use them with Photofast MS Pro Dual slot adapter. I also have other adapters and I have the same issues. The PSP can read the sd cards fine but when I either try to hook the PSP up to my PC with usb or I use an adapter to read them in PC it asks me to format. Tried two computers. I want to add a few games but can't because of this, and I'd rather not format and lose all my games/saves. It makes no sense to me that the PSP can read them fine but computers wants me to format them.

If you are using a dual adapter it probably redoes the formatting to work with that (probably splits the difference, though might interleave).
I am not aware of any programs or handlers for such things, and it probably varies between the various such devices anyway.

Leave it in the adapter and find a pro duo or whatever reader, or leave it in the PSP. If it is slow to read/write in the PSP then go into settings and disable charge when USB connected for as long as you need access to the card -- USB delivering bulk power means compliant devices will reduce speed of reading to handle the excess noise/induction that goes on because of such hobbies..
There should be various options for FTP as well so you could instead go over network but it has been a while since I played with any of those.

I was going to say the same thing, but the original post mentions having used usb. it's an old post though, not sure if the second poster tried that or not or if he just removed the memory stick adapter and plugged in one of the micro sd cards to the pc.

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
