Just When You Finally Downgrade...

[The Bridge]

you find that the games you are dragging and dropping/copying and pasting are disappearing into a big black hole. When I go to games on the PSP and look at the memory disk, it shows that sizeable chunks of the 2gb disk have been used up for game storage, but irs nowhere to be found, all it offers is a chance to downgrade to 1.5, which I've done... So my question is, where are the files I am clearly copying onto the PSP? Also should I have formatted the 2gb disk before doing this.

I thought I had done all the hard work, seems I was wrong, help...

My son and I each have a PSP, I travel and to save on rows we have managed to get s colleague to put almost all of our 36 or so games on to disk, that way I don't need to take games with me when I travel, I don't think that contravenes any piracy laws as the games are copied for our own use? My issues is simple, having downgraded to 1.5, I cannot work out where the files are going when I download from my laptop.

Is that better?

Hey Bridge....Let's approach the problem you are having as a file transfer problem. The first thing we need to clear up is the method you are using to transfer files from your laptop. Is it by a usb cable connected to your PSP or are you writing to the memory card directly using a card reader? Also, what is the target folder on the memory card? Lastly, you may have to reformat your memory stick but that should be your last option. Also, if you do reformat...remember that you need to use FAT16 format.

My issue seems to have started when Starwars Battlefront II encouraged (nay forced) me to upgrade to 2.0. I had bought both PSP's in Japan back in August. Through a colleague (my IT man) I was able to downgrade back to 1.5, but lets look at the chain:

1. I purchase a 2gb bsk for my travels and i get our games "disked".
2. I downgrade to 1.5.
3. In Madrid, two days before xmas, I put a USB between my laptop and my PSP. I drag and drop games to my removeable drive, I'm assured these should be visible in my memory stick through games, they are not...
4. I format the memory chip (has this now deleted crucial sotware?) thinking I did not so this at the start (it is also a Sandisk, does this mean anything?).
5. I drag and drop again, nothing...
6. I'm off to India for a month in a few weeks, if this is a waste of time, my and the boy will need to draw lots on the games...

Am I mising something simple?

OK....The "files" that you dragged and dropped to the memory stick. Are they in a compressed format or what and exactly where did you drop the files. By this I mean did you drop them in the root directory of the memory stick or did you put them into a specific folder. Lastly, you know that you need a special program to launch these "files" right? I can not mention the names of these programs but others have in other threads & stickies.

SoCal, apols for the delayed response. First of all I'm dropping everything into the root directory as this is what I have envisaged moves it to my memory card... Doh, I take it this is wrong?

The files are zip files but I have a full Windows XP package and probably assumed (my old menter used to say never assume as it makes an "ass" of "u" and "me") that this was okay... Doh, its feeling like another bad un...

Your problem is that you're dropping the files in the root directory, which is wrong. Which umd loader are you using?

UMDEmulator V0.8C, but below the scary face it shows on the PSP (memory chip data accessed through game/memory chip etc) is a file saying corrupted data.
