Hardware Just got the 3G to MicroSD adapter.

I just got Yifan Lu's 3G to MicroSD adapter. Installed it and documented my installation. It was very easy to install.

Thanks for the demostration!!

Nice video.

Though I have to say, I don't think the reason @yifan_lu is not going to produce more of these due to how difficult it was for him. It's due to the mindset of producing these. He took it on as a project to see how doable it was given the power consumption and such. It's also a reason why the funding was towards the development and research, rather the product of a quality working board.

Many would rather take the SD2Vita adapter instead, due to the ease of use, not to mention it works with all the PlayStation Vita models. However... This adapter is pretty nice as it is permanently well installed, and doesn't block the cartridge slot. I'd get one, but I do not own the 3G Vita.

This adapter really is underappreciated by the community.

You can get a 3G mainboard for your vita, they aren't too expensive, you will need to cut out part of the plastic shell on the inside to make it fit but it doesn't hurt anything.

I know that. It's the money I don't have and don't want to spend that stops me from doing so. I can do with a cheap SD2Vita. Plus, I'd have to get the 3G SD adapter too.

Nice, thanks for the video! I wonder how long to wait for the SD2Vita adapter that will work with the spring.

@Erfg1 could you tell me how thick the pcb is because i was thinking of making myself one thanks.

According to the schematics on yifan.lu, the PCB is 1.0mm +/- 0.1mm.

I just received Spheresolid's adapter in the mail today.

I've got the 3G FAT Vita on 3.6 Enso using the stock 16GB memory card. I've got a 128GB micro SD card. (I don't have an SD2VITA adapter, is it required?)

What format should the 128GB card be in? NFTS? FAT32?

How do I transfer the stuff off the stock card to the new 3G 128GB card? Where is the driver found from that video?

After install does this just replace the stock card altogether, so it gets removed?

Can I setup offline Enso too while I'm at it?

Sorry for all the questions, the Vita scene seems a lot different than the PS3/3DS/WII/WIIu stuff I've been used to.

It should be formatted in FAT32 or ExFAT(these options are recommended)
