I deleted some games on my 200GB MicroSD that I installed from MAI. I deleted them on the main PS Vita menu as normal.

Well, in restarting my Vita and afterwards when I restart it, it always tells me that my space is less than 40MB. YET, when I pop the microSD in the computer, it shows the correct amount that I have 21GB of free space. I followed the tutorial to a T and didn't have issues like this on my 128GB card.

Why is this going on and how can I fix this? It's really annoying.

Back it up to your PC, check how much the backup is (total bytes) and on the card, then format the card again.
Copy it all back and see if it fixes the problem.

You need to rebuild the database.
switch off the vita and then press and hold down the power,right shoulder and the PSP blue button.
boots into safe mode
Then rebuild database.

once done it will reboot in sony mode .
then shutdown and restart in enso.

I already backed up the card, reformatted and am in the process of copying everything back over. I'll keep that in mind if it still isn't fixed. There did seem to be a corruption with one file(an FBA rom) when I tried copying it over, so I don't know if that did it.

EDIT: Rebuilding the database DID NOT work. Still tells me I have no space left on my card, yet I can still pop it in my PC and it’ll show me the correct space

THAT DID IT! Reformatted it with 64k clusters and BOOM! No more low space Error. Shows up as the correct size. Thank you!!!

I did this as well and it fixed my space issue.
I would assume that with bigger cards, the cluster size by default is larger than 64k (128k i believe for 256 gig micro sd cards). For whatever reason, the 128k cluster size doesn't work correctly.
I'm guessing here, but the driver for reading memory is probably the issue. If they're using a custom driver, it's probably not allocating enough buffer space to read the 128k clusters or bigger correctly. If not, and they're using a built in driver, just a reminder that the biggest vita memory cards are 64 gig and won't encounter this issue either.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
