Also when i let my psp format it will come out as 64gb or take some off for ram, etc?
It doesn't use the memory stick for RAM (at least I've never heard of it doing so), but it will eat up part of it for the system info, like the file structure. For example, the 128GB SD card I mentioned a while back that I have for my Wii ends up with 119GB and change of total usable space after properly formatting it.

If I remember correctly you have 59gb showing from 64. 117gb from 128 and 234 from 256gb. I think is pretty standard when you work out the numbers (the fact that what we perceive to be a GB is never how it is worked out on memory cards, hard drives etc.

Thank you! Another question I'm wondering is what CFW do you think works best for 6.60 and HAS TRIED 256GB X 2 IN DUAL ADAPTER?

6.60 Pro C Fix-3. There is literally no reason to go for anything else these days. Plus it also has the best compatibility with Playstation one games (allows you to play PSN games so no more troublesome Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX for example).

Regarding 256x2 I dont think 256GB Micro SD Cards exist to my knowledge. But it would also be pointless as I doubt you could fill it with anything meaningful anyway. You can pretty much have everything worth playing from the PSP and PSX era on 128gb anyway.

6.60 Pro C Fix-3.

I'm hoping the Pro team releases a 6.61 Pro C CFW soon, since Sony released the 6.61 OFW for whatever reason...

Wow, I really have just stopped paying attention to the PSP scene. I'm still on 6.60 Pro B. Didn't realize there were updates to it, much less a 6.61 OFW. Guess I never bothered with looking into updates because my Pro B has never really given me issues.

I'm just not sure why Sony released another PSP firmware for their dead and dying system of yesterdecade. Makes no sense.

Yeah, it doesn't even fix any exploits as the kernel exploit used by the downgrader still works just fine (and yes, the downgrader has already been "ported" to 6.61 so you can downgrade to 6.20 or whatever).

What's he big deal about 6.20? Is there something special about it that I'm unaware of? 6.60 CFW runs flawless for me...

Oh, that's a drag for them I guess... I've got a PSP-2001 model, so I'm golden. ^_^


I've got a PSP3000 and whilst the perm hack of 6.20 is nice, its not worth it due in inability to play PSN PSX games. The thing is, if you just switch your psp into standby mode rather than off (the PSP is excellent anyway at preserving battery whilst on standby, you probably lose 2-3% in one day) the hack stays active anyway. Mine probably gets a full restart once a month or so at best. There is literally no reason these days for anyone to be on anything else other than the Pro C Fix 3 6.60, purely based on the fact it offers complete compatibility.

Head over to Wololo.net for your PSP stuff. They seem to be the most up to date place for homebrew, emus and what have you.

I plan on staying at 6.60 Pro C Fix 3, and I make all my PSX ISOs into Eboots myself, it's actually quite fun.
