Unfortunately, I'm out of ideas.
If I come up with any ideas I will post below. In the meantime, I'm hoping someone else will propose some solutions.

Have you tried not inserting any MS?
What kind of massage does it give you?
If not inserting any MS ? PSP will not show up the symbol of MS such as normal.
Thanks for your help, greatly appreciate it.

I think you'd have "corrupted data" if something was wrong with the firmware or on ofw. it sounds to me, since you checked another memory stick, that something is wrong with the memory card reader itself. some times these things happen, even if you take good care of the device. I'd say the psp is a pretty solid portable, it can endure a lot. however, something might've broke for no real reason. same thing happened to my first switch. I put it in sleep mode, then came back, it said "a serious error has occurred, please turn the system off." once I did that, it never turned on again. according to Nintendo, the nand got corrupted. I don't know how that could've happened, unless I bought a switch with an underlying fault. I got a free replacement from Nintendo, but I lost all my saves.

So your meaning is my PSP has been a problem with hardware not software ? My just only PSP doesn't detect any type of files on MS but everything seems fine :(

I also did some researches on that problem, there were some guys face that problem just like me but they solved it. Unfortunately, they did by themself and not sharing or record about that.

Do you own an original game (umd)? Try to see if you can save this game to MS. At least you could play the original games.
I have just a few original games and that means I'm saying to good bye for playing on MS for ever (I think I'm going to buy a new one PSP because of it is more reasonable)

In the system settings menu (directional all the way to left), you can try to restore the default settings (factory reset). I don't think trying will do any harm. It's up to you.
I did it but nothing changes bro, maybe my PSP actually has become a black brick.

You can't reach (contact) them. Are these very old messages? Can't you post on the website where they wrote?

Sure I carefully checked, on PSP just show up the same (music/videos/memory sticks) such as : "There are no games/files etc... Content can be downloaded or purchased from PlayStation Store." The games are still inside my PSP, I did a USB Connection check and the games were still there"

Ok, but I mean like disassembling the PSP and physically checking if any pin connectors is damaged.

Try this, using Windows and with the memory card out of the PSP (using an external memory card reader/adapter), give format to it using FAT32 as the filesystem and disable the Quick Format option.
Once finished, put the memory card again on the PSP and format it there again, that will recreate the folder structure required by the PSP.
Again, extract the memory card from the PSP and copy some eboot game on the /PSP/Game folder.
Re-instert the memory card once again on the PSP and try loading the eboot you just copied.

If in any of the later steps the memory card can't be formatted or read, then the memory card is at failure. If this happens with all the memory cards you try, then the memory card slot might be the main issue.

Hi @CMDreamer
Maybe you didn't read the whole thread.
These things have already been suggested.
The strange thing is that the PSP detects the folders, but not the contained files, the moment they are copied to the PSP (according to him).
The OP is supposed to be vietnamese and he is sleeping at this time....
:rofl2:

I did read all the thread and also suggested to check the card slot, but his/her answer was kind of vague and didn't described what he/she had checked, so I explained a bit more my context.

The card's behaviour can be also derived from a damaged slot, as the PSP reads the content it has already but doesn't store the new content he's/she's trying to copy into it. I'm seeing the problem in a more hardware context, rather than software specific. He's/she's not using a card adaptor afaik, but connecting the PSP through a USB cable to a computer, so its using the very -possibly- damaged card slot.

He/she might be sleeping but I'm now expecting to get an answer asap, so...

I also did once again as your intructions but it won't work, I'm using the adaptor as below :(

maybe PSP's problem is hardware context?
Go to recovery menu. Toggle USB.

Today after trying many ways to fix that problem, my PSP can't use the select button anymore for using the RECOVERY MENU.
There is any new suggestion for that ?

Turn off your PSP. Hold the R button, and turn on the PSP.
If I'm not mistaken he was using a temporary cfw, and when he turned off the console, this is no longer active.
He should reactivate it with "fast recovery", but his PSP doesn't detect the file and its image to be selected.
It seems to me that holding the R button when powering up only works with permanent cfw, if I'm not mistaken.:unsure:

Toggle USB: This allows you to have USB access to your memory stick from the recovery menu.

Thanks for your advice, This help me to use select button but nothing change at all when I did that

I also tried to run PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP (I copied file into that folders) by recovery menu but useless :(
As below is my picture of Recovery menu and plugins :

When you say "useless", do you mean it gives you an error or doesn't even start the procedure? What message does it give you?

It would seem that your PSP not only doesn't show the initial eboots image from the menu, but doesn't read the files on the MS at all.

Have you checked if at least it WRITES the saves on MS, playing from UMD?

Assumption:
1) As several people have said, it could be the pins in the PSP slot, which are dirty or don't make contact (optimistic hypothesis and remediable);

2) As one user said, it could be a NAND corruption, caused by the last file copied from PC (pessimistic and irremediable hypothesis).
