I have the OLED also, and this is the exact SD2Vita I purchased. Sure the price is a little higher than other cards on Amazon/eBay, but I can guarantee you it works perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/Funturbo-Ultimate-Version-SD2Vita-Adapter/dp/B07F63FPT3/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=funturbo+sd2vita&qid=1557193790&s=gateway&sr=8-2

The microSD fits very snug into the adapter, and the SD2Vita adapter fits nicely into your Vita slot. I have tested with both a 128gb Sandisk Ultra, and 256gb Samsung EVO. Good luck!

I suspect the actual game carts are capable of being faster but Sony might have capped the read/write speeds...I barely see a difference running off of SD cards but i haven't done extensive tests (probably someone else has)

Not as much as you'd think honestly...the entire rom collection takes up like less than...30GB (GBA is largest). It's the psp and vita games that really take up space lol. A shame there's no DS emulator or i'd have the entire portable set good to go almost XD

I had one of the OG that looked like this https://www.amazon.com/SD2VITA-PSVSD-Micro-Adapter-Henkaku/dp/B0747S13L4 (wow amazon selling it really haha)

I used it for a couple years but I had trouble with the SD card just randomly disappearing sometimes (especially after using sleep mode)

I upgraded to this type https://www.codedonut.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/V3-0-Card-Adapter-for-PS-VITA-PSVITA-SD2VITA-PSDSV-Micro-SD-Adapter-Version-3-0.jpg

And I have only had that problem once, it was easily fixed by restarting. Sounds like you already have it mine is a 3.0 or 4.0 lol

No problemo...I've barely even made a dent in the games probably the vita will break before I finish em rofl

It's not an OLED one, but if you're willing to trade off a nicer screen for better battery life, slimmer profile and a slightly less quality screen (it's really not a bad panel), Above All Games on Amazon is selling new black PCH-2001 Sony Playstation Vita Slim Wi-Fi consoles for $224.00 new w/ free 2-day shipping for Prime members. I just recently bought one and can confirm it was brand new product with FW 3.55. Now running on 3.65 Enso CFW!
EDIT: Here's the link - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PV515DU?th=1

Since no one seems to know this: For your #3, there is usb cable called an A male to A male usb cable. It's possible to use QCMA like you would with a vita, but troublesome.

Make sure you don't forget to link the PSTV to an account (make another one if you need to) during the initial setup to activate it so you can install Adrenaline (easily) unless you want to hunt for a psp demo and hope PSN spoofing is working.

I never could get FileZilla to work (router), but had luck with the more full featured WinSCP. You'll need to FTP over VitaShell 1.61 for the full usb support.

There's a discrepancy between your UK amazon, and my US amazon then. Its 44.99 1 day shipped.

And they fucked up, so I managed to get 2 for that price lol. Woohoo, go amazon!
I'm a little antsy when it comes to "2nd hand" ownership, or sites without a strong return policy, such as amazon's personal warehouses. I bought a 256 GB Officially branded, sealed ADATA SD card, and it was resealed to look brand new as it was only a 16 GB SD card off ebay. Thank god for paypal, because Ebay would of said to wait a month.

i ordered this 200gb card and its been working great https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V62XBQQ/

have about...30gb free now lol

FYI to both of you, you can get a special battery thing on amazon for about 20$ that will up your gameplay time on a 3DS to somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 hours. I have one, and it's an absolute godsend, here is the link

PSV games are anywhere between 0.5-3GiB in size, so 20 games would take at most 60GiB. PSP games are usually 0.1-1.5GiB in size. 64GB sd card is 59.6GiB in size, so it's really cutting it for your requirements. You might be better off with a 128GB card.

Btw, sd cards dropped in price by a lot in the last 7 months, 128GB card used to cost 40USD a year ago (and 80USD a year before that), but now they are just 20USD. I have had good experience with these Samsung 64/128/256GB cards and this 400GB SanDisk card. Make sure the sd cards you get are not fake sd cards, check these two videos.

You will not need the TF Card Plugin for StorageMgr, something is off.

I would recommend you start over again and use the following guide: https://vita.hacks.guide/storagemgr

This is the trusted guide the community recommends. I can tell you that I have used it for 4 SD2Vita jobs and it worked without issue for all of them.

You should be setting your SD2Vita to use ux0, that is where all Vita App's need to launch from. You can use your Vita Memory Card as the uma0 if you want to use it for Adrenaline.

Lastly, make sure you are using SD2Vita 5.0, that one seems to work for everyone. I have tested it on PS 1000, PS 2000 and PSTV and it works on them all

> Samsung M3 Portable 1TB

I can't find that exact drive unfortunately, but this looks like it could be the same just in different housing: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TKFEEAS/ref=psdc_430544031_t1_B01AJWNYLA?th=1

Or maybe this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Maxtor-Slimline-Portable-Hard-Drive/dp/B01AJWNYLA/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1501512856&sr=1-4&keywords=Samsung+M3+Portable+1TB

What do you think?
Cheers :)

It would be amazing to have a software solution to this.

At the moment I have to use a ps tv to capture game footage. It needs a special hdmi splitter that can strip the hdcp from the ps tv (this is the one I use in case anyone wants to do it too http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004F9LVXC/ ) and I feed that into a capture device (mine is a hd pvr2 but any capture device will do).

This is a good guide until we get something for the vita itself: https://www.reddit.com/r/VitaTV/comments/35zpfk/how_to_capture_video_with_a_pstv/

Well, if your willing to pay full price for a vita buy it from here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PV515DU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501700913&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=psvita&dpPl=1&dpID=41IQOZZxShL&ref=plSrch. They are warrantied to be under 3.60 because Sony stopped support for it long time ago. But I still believe bidding on eBay is the best option, doesn't hurt to try.

I spend a lot of time on the guitar hero subreddits, i think there's only one bluetooth guitar and its rb5, ps4 edition only i think. the x360 that are wireless use the wireless receiver for xbox themselves. I've seen people turn ps3 guitars into arduino controllers, maybe something like that could work. clonehero would allow for button remapping so it seems possible

Last month, I got a brand new Vita on Firmware 3.55 from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStation-Vita-WiFi/dp/B00PV515DU/?th=1

There are multiple sellers on Amazon. Make sure you get the one with the seller called "Above All Games" and "Fulfilled by Amazon". Read the User Reviews and many of them corroborate with my experience.

Same. I'm using this one because I have a Prime membership and got super fast free shipping and I'm an impatient ass. Works fantastic.

I have this: https://www.amazon.com/XBERSTAR-Newest-Version-SD2Vita-Adapter-Loading/dp/B0798JJ82Z/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1535913225&sr=8-5&keywords=sd2vita

And a Japanese Vita Slim, I can take it out without any issue just like a game cartridge. I take it out, reboot my console and it default back to the 2GB built in storage that the slim has. I can easily play physical games that way.

Not sure how it would work if you have a Vita memory card though.

So I found this on Amazon. I think I'm just going to sacrifice my WD Blue 7200RPM drive which is 500GB and get this when I can. https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Aluminum-Enclosure-RX35-AT-SU-BLK/dp/B004K4TE5O/ref=pd_sbs_147_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B004K4TE5O&pd_rd_r=W4G7Z65A9TT9ANSZ9VNG&pd_rd_w=Q1rez&pd_rd_wg=q9XKu&refRID=W4G7Z65A9TT9ANSZ9VNG&th=1

I got a 256gb from Amazon. So you're telling me they're unaware of the truth of what's being sold or just don't care, why oh why. At least I know it's nothing I'm doing wrong, thanks a lot.

Does anyone know of a real 256gb or at least 128gb?

This is the one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07WGFHLFB?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Maybe stick with Sandisk

I know it works with 256GB for sure, as that's the size of microSD in my psvsd.

I wouldn't be surprised if it supports 1TB or 2TB external HDDs though.

Just be warned that 1TB and 2TB drives definitely need more power than just what the USB port on PSTV supplies. If it's a slim HDD, you'll need to achieve that using a Y-cable such as this one (USB 3.0):

https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Splitter-Adapter-Charging-SmartPhones/dp/B00P0C4M5M/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1520992108&sr=8-7&keywords=usb+3.0+y+cable

WD 1TB Black My Passport  Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBYNN0010... via @amazon

if thats the case what microsd would you recommend? is this one a good option for the ps vita? https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MicroSDXC-Adapter-MB-ME256GA-AM/dp/B072HRDM55/ref=sr_1_3?crid=M7UFFAXNT0OS&keywords=samsung+evo+256gb+micro+sd+card&qid=1567190481&s=gateway&sprefix=samsung+evo+25%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-3

True. Does this look good to purchase? Wouldn't want to get scammed.

Yes, this is a slim PS Vita. The MicroSD Card I have is this one.

I have the non battery one. works pretty well, but at the bottom where it clamps on it actually leaves a permanent dent in your vita.

​

beware

​

I actually have a cheap knockoff https://www.amazon.com/Nexilux-Handgrip-PS-VITA-1000/dp/B00V2HUWUI

​

this bastard dented my vita

If you dont mine my asking why not just get a 128 GB card they are about 20 bucks on amazon...
Seems like having to do all that seems redundant if you could get a cheap option that in my opinion is better....
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073JYC4XM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5z34CbDNRDJKV

You will need a micro SD.

These two micro SD cards have proven to work very well:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010Q57S62/ref=psdc_3015433011_t1_B06XWZWYVP

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010Q57S62/ref=psdc_3015433011_t1_B06XWZWYVP

You can pre-order a quality SD2Vita adapter here:

https://hackinformer.com/sd2vita-plus-pre-order-form/

For homebrews, you can install them as normal in your ux0 directory.

I would recommend this one if it’s possible for you to get, I notice you posted an Aus link so I’m not sure if you’re able to purchase this one: SanDisk 400GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - 100MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, Micro SD Card - SDSQUAR-400G-GN6MA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074RNRM2B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.DyJDbZM7T4Q8

I think that all the imports from Japan at Amazon comes with 3.61 or higher. I order the blue and orange versions and had to return them both. However, the black version which is not an import from japan came with 3.53 and I bought it on May 3, 2017.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PV515DU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Here's 1 card for 20 bucks

Here's another one for 20 bucks

https://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Powered-Splitter-1080P-VHD-1X2MN3D/dp/B004F9LVXC

Any reason not to get the slightly cheaper newer version?

https://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-Ultra-128GB-Micro-Adapter/dp/B073JYC4XM/

I'm using a 400gb sandisk microSD, this specific model: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-400GB-microSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B074RNRM2B?th=1&psc=1

> SanDisk Ultra 200GB Micro SD (SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A)

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-200GB-Micro-SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A/dp/B00V62XBQQ

I'm thinking if this one:

SanDisk 400 Ultra microSDXC™ and microSDHC™ UHS-I Card with Adapter - HD - SDSQUAR-400G-GN6MA https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B074RNRM2B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WzyJDbMFG1AEM

(Amazon Australia)

Thoughts?

nobody knows the actual read and write speeds of the vita but if you are worried about speeds https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073JYC4XM/ref=twister_B07B3MFBHY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I use the 200gb version

where can i buy sd2vita v 5.0? Sorry if i'm asking a dumb question, because i've been out of the picture when it comes to vita hacking

edit-is this the correct product?
