Not counting the PSN bug thing, sure. Absolutely flawless.

Actually, I didn't quote C2 at the time because of the PSN bug. But that bug has now been fixed as of the Februaury 2015 Pro C2 update so Drgnslayers is correct. I now have C2 on mine. However, I don't think the fixed C2 was out (or it was only JUST out) when I made my original comment so thats why I didn't suggest C2 as a suitable update.

In this case, I'm sorry. I thought PRO CFW was abandoned long ago, so I never checked for updates after the unofficial fix3. (Using LME atm.)

I didn't know it was still being updated either. I only found it by accident over on Wololo to be honest. When updates happen now, the news doesn't seem to spread very far these days :(

Can anyone give me an Amazon link for the dual micro sdxc adapter (that they know surely work with 2 x 64GB micro SDXC)? Micro SD gets so cheap these days, so decided to revive my old PSP to play some classic PS1 and PSP games.

Don't go with a dual. I bought one and had rampant data corruption and freezing issues. Buy a single-port microSD to MSDUO adapter and a 128GB microSD card...Er, though I suggest maybe sticking with just a 64GB. Higher amounts of memory tend to bog down the PSP as it reads the card on the XMB, even with memory card speedups through CFW.

But others said that the single-port won't support SDXC (>=64GB).

Here, this is the exact one I bought...

As for the single-port ones not working, that's simply not true. Granted, when you first socket the microSD into the adapter and then into your PSP it won't work, but that's because the PSP needs to format the card. Do that, and make sure it is the FIRST thing you do with it. After that, have fun with you 64GB or more of storage. Set up your files, plugins, whatever. It should all read just fine. Ever since I swapped to a single-port adapter my issues with freezes and all manner of nasty business has basically been reduced to nearly zilch. The only stuff I pretty much tangle with is what will lock up a PSP anyway, and that's by choice, not by the hardware I'm using for the MSDUO card.

I got a "128GB" (120GB real storage) microSD recently and decided to test it in my PSP. It works. I have some $4 single-port adapter from amazon and a PSP-2000 with 6.61 firmware and PRO-C. It started formatted as exFAT, 120GB total. Put it in the PSP, PSP says it can be read and to format it. Format it using the PSP and it works fine, shows 120GB free. Put it in the computer, it's FAT32 with 120GB. Copy data from my 16GB card onto the 120 and I can boot Peacewalker.

But it's slooooow. Noticeably slower than the 16GB despite having a faster rating. It's the exact same data on each card so the PSP is doing some kind of excess reading on the 120. I will be sticking with a single 16GB for speed

trumpet-205 said that there are multiple version of SDXC, some of which are not compatible. So my particular card is is a Mixza Tohaoll 128GB, SDXC UHS-1

    But any desktop OS, I've never had anything but frustration trying to get Bluetooth devices to work reliably and stable. It might pair and connect once, and then next time I go to use it I have to delete and re-pair it again

    Not recently but I think it's less a driver issue and more just Windows having a garbage Bluetooth stack
