hi everyone, sorry to ask but i cannot seem to find the answers i am looking for.
i have managed to install everything on my 3,65 fw, everything is working fine and i have a sd2vita installed also working perfect with 128gb class 10 card.
the problem i am having is after downloading software from nps browser on my mac, if i transfer it to the app folder in ux0 by ftp and refresh it the software is not detected, but if i transfer it through usb it works fine ?
but i am finding it really slow in transferring , its taking about 2 hours to transfer 9.5gb data, it is connected to a usb3 port, is there a quicker way to transfer it over, i considered trying the microsd in a reader on my mac and copying the files direct to that but unsure if i will cause any issues on the card doing that ?

thank you

It might be connected on a USB 3 port on your MAC, but the Vita doesn't support USB 3 transfer speeds. So you're getting USB 2 transfer speed instead.

Why don't you connect directly your micrSD card to your MAC and transfer the files that way, might get a faster transfer speed.

Hi, thank you for the reply
My main concern was putting the sdcard direct into the card reader on my Mac and doing any damage to it to stop it from working , and also will the app folder etc be viewable to copy the games over that way ?
