PSP Go 256gb?

[Nakamichi]

I personally use a 128gb microsd with my PSP Go via a flex-ribbon adapter and plugins to sort my library alphabetically to keep it snappy, because i heard people saying not to go above that.

Did a quick google on the subject and people on reddit report having success with 256gb?

Whats their secret? why did it work for them, but not for others?

Some micro SD card adapters work, some don't.

It's luck of the draw, since they're pretty much all the same generic adapter with a different shell slapped on.

The storage limit has been raised various times in the PSP's history (with CFWs doing it first) but it should be able to meet or exceed 1 TB with the "newest" ones

i heard people saying not to go above that

That's also true but for performance reasons, oversized (the largest genuine Memory Stick is 64 GB) means a longer time to mount and that gets annoying quickly (if you were to use a 2 GB CompactFlash in a 25 years older 8086 PC running a Microsoft OS you'd have the same problem when free space needs to be identified)

@Ryccardo i know regular PSP support very large microsd, this does not seem to be the case for the Go tho.
Most report anything exceeding 128gb as not working, there are some fairly rare reports of people claiming success with 256gb tho.

i think it might be related to the Go's use of proprietary storage called m2

Well, M2 is Micro Memory Stick and AFAIK the protocol has not changed (there are mechanical adapters, for one), so if the Go really has a lower artificial limit... it sounds like it's a solveable problem (for a competent developer, that is!)
