Hi, so I'm new here, and new to Homebrew on the vita. I have the 1001 model and a Sony brand memory card was required for me to jailbreak it. No problem. But I have two different 8gb Sony cards, and only one of them was used to downgrade and jailbreak. ...And I forgot to back up all of my files from the one I didn't use before I went through with it, because it just didn't cross my mind ☠️. My question is, can I switch out the memory cards temporarily without causing any damage in any way? I just need it long enough to use the content manager, because I want the files for when I get sd2vita set up.

Yes, try deleting the file id.dat in the memory card

Wouldn't that delete the PSN account off of the memory card? Both cards are tied to the same account, is it necessary, or can I just eject the card safely and replace it with the other that wasn't used in the jailbreak process?

should be fine. id.dat is usually for using the card from a different system. it wouldn't matter if you deleted it most likely. it might rebuild the database though, which is okay.

thank you, memcardswap helped. I managed to backup my other card, now I don't have to worry about it again. I appreciate the help.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    That sounds really cool
