u might be able to delete everything manually with vitashell. the app folder is likely the largest one since that contains vita games. u want to keep pspemu though. I personally erased my memory cards, then sold them since they're so expensive.

personally, I'd try removing the sd2vita cart, then seeing if you can format the card. I know that this is possible, because I had my sd2vita 1.0 cart not making a secure connection once, which forced a format of the memory card. I can't recall if it was being read as uma0 though as I never checked.

I know they are expensive but I'm afraid that if I sell it, I will regret it

well, you have two options. if you're using a pstv or a ps vita 2K (slim), you have internal memory. if not, you do have your config.txt which is in ur0. afaik, it won't be replaced even if you were to format the memory card. it's not in a location that's affected which was probably done deliberately and why it's recommend. the game database is in ur0, but it doesn't mess with the tai folder.

I know config is in ur0. So memcard will be emulation paradise, and ux0 vita paradise. But I can't find Akiba's trip dlc's... i have the game, dumped it, but couldn't dl free dlc, no psn....

can't help there as I don't own the game. the only game I own dlc for is tales of hearts r. I bought all the costumes. I dumped those, the game, and the save.

True... it recognized enso (logo) but then it just quits and refuses to load anything. It just shows enso logo and that’s it. After 1-2minutes it boots without a Hack lol... well but springload of the vita is flawless! Maybe mine is broken but others work?
The sd is fine btw.. tried my self made v1 afterwards without any problem.

Edit: I try to reformat my as again maybe it boots that way but I doubt it

Exact same thing that happened to my v2 adapter when I sanded it too much ;)

anyone have a v3 yet?
yeah - i had.
it was broken.
i opened it up and cut my self made v1 into shape and inserted that.
now i got a working v3 (self made xD)

the original v3 had a super slim board (more like a piece of plastic with some super small wires) and an opened sd card slot.
everything is really small and tiny inside. its no wonder that my adapter was broken. it had some broken connections inside. you could not save it because it was cut and not worth the effort tbh.
it fits perfectly (like a real game) ... sadly it did not work for me at first but i got the case of it and that was all i needed ^^

hi, i've tried 2.0 version, going to buy a 3.00 version for my pstv. i put the 2.0 version in my psvita slim and i can confirm that the 2.00 ver is hard to extract too. you know if the 3.00 ver stay locked in the slot as the others before?

just use usb you don't need sd2vita for pstv

no, and i'm going to explain why not. i've already configured a usb key but i realized that i want to leave the usb slot free. it's faster when i want to associate my dualshock 4 to pstv switching them from my ps4. and it's better to use the pad through usb cable if i want reduce the input lag such as in pfba. so i decided to buy an adapter for pstv and leave the usb slot free for other use.

anyone have a v3 yet?
Yep got mine 3 days ago, so far it's working well. Transferring files to a 128GB samsung evo select at 50MB/sec+ (with a usb3 card reader) is a nice improvement over using the vita :)

As others have reported it does stop the cart cover from closing fully on a vita 2000, if you compare them to a legit cart the sd2vita is less rounded at the top.

Powered USB Hub?

I have a 256GB Sata Hard Drive on a Powered USB 2.0 adapter plugged into a hub. This allows me to also sync controllers, or to charge them, or to have less input lag etc etc
If I ever get into power issues the USB hub can be powered.
Hard Drive has to be powered as the PSTV does not provide enough power to spin the drive. If using a USB stick you shouldnt have a need for this, the powered hub should allow sufficient power if you run into issues.

you're right, but i just want my pstv as an unique piece without any other cable or external hub and hard disk. i don't need so much storage space (64gb is enough for me). i prefer a "slim" solution, easy to move from a tv to another.
