Data problems...

Post by Firezack »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello,

So here I am explaining because this is driving me crazy...

I recently bought a memory stick for my psp street E-1004, I've had the psp for 3 years but for a long time my brother had left it at his friend's place for no reason.. I play my Final Fantasy IV game and regularly the data gets corrupted, for no apparent reason, I put my psp down when I'm not playing and when I come back to the game (since I rarely quit) my data is corrupted, so I have to create new ones regularly..

Except that today my brother quit my save, made his own, I launch the game, connection to the memory stick impossible, I go check and all the data is corrupted...

So I wanted some help because I no longer have any data now and if it's coming from the psp I'd like some help..

Hello,

Is your Memory Stick an original one (Sony), a "big brand" (sandisk for example), or "worse"?

Copy the content of your M.S. onto your PC and do a full FAT32 format on it.
copy back what you saved on your PC onto the M.S. and test...

So my memory stick is a: Memory stick pro duo magicGate mark2 4gb



And how do you do a full format? Because I had formatted it from the psp, then put back the game data but it was still corrupted.

OK for the M.S. :)

Connect your M.S. directly to the PC (not with the PSP) whether with an adapter:
Problemes données...
or with a "multi adapter" USB:
Image unavailable (removed by its host)

Then from the PC desktop, right click on your M.S then "Format..."
Select "FAT32" "default allocation unit" and uncheck "Quick Format"

Remember to back up the content before formatting ;)

Copy the content previously backed up on the PC back onto your freshly formatted M.S. and test...

Same result as before, I'm trying to access my data in the game, access to the memory stick impossible :(

Faulty M.S.???

Is your PSP hacked?

Is the game a UMD?

If it's a backup, is your game patched (needlessly): redo the dump via "UMD Dumper 2.2"

I bought my M.S. 2 days ago, the psp isn't cracked, or if it is I'm not aware of it, and the game isn't umd...

I really think the psp is done for because that never happened to me before my brother "borrowed" it... I'm probably going to have to buy a new one :/

I'd also lean towards a faulty M.S., even if it's new that happens often with fake models. If you can borrow another card just to test, you'll quickly find out. The Street is a bit finicky with certain memory sticks, so it could be that rather than the console itself 8-)
