i was thinking of buying a micro sd card that size but i'm not entirely sure if it's safe
i heard in another post that it was possible and i've seen a few threads in the vita hacking reddit about people getting them but i'm not 100% sure if it's safe so i wanted to ask here first

You can safely use at least up to at least 1tb, Just make sure to not cheap out and go with a known brand!

yes, either my vita or pstv has a 512GB micro sd; the other has a 400GB one. they were hand me downs from the switch after I got 1TB micro sd cards for all three of mine. I have a lot of free space on both.

I only have about 128GBs used up on each, so it's a waste of space. seems like half the vita library is ps3 ports or something, so there's not a lot worth getting. that's probably another reason the system failed so badly.

Isn't a 512gb overkill? I think I have over 100 vita games and 60 PSP games on my vita on a 256gb and I didn''t fill it up
@Goku1992A ,100 Vita games in 256GB and you have not filled it? With not even 50 games and i don't know how many PSP games(i didn't count them)+ various emulators,only have 118GB free on a 256GB sdcard.

Vita games can vary wildly in size, with so much of the library being indies since retail utterly collapsed for the system. You can easily fit hundreds of those sub-1gb games.

You can use 512GB or even 1TB if you properly set it up correct, depending what size card you are coming from to the 512GB, vita games typically are in the 1GB to 4GB range so depends on how much you want to install and play, no point of installing a bunch of games then not playing them.

base game can't be larger than 4GBs, I found that out from a friend. it's a stipulation by sony, but updates and dlc can exceed that if you count both together.

supposedly, that's why I think the Japanese voices aren't on the world of final fantasy cart and must be downloaded. it exceeds that limit.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I just checked, and it looks like it's voice overs in general. both English and Japanese must be downloaded.

@godreborn ,currently there are games with 1.5GB DLC type SD Gundam G Generation Genesis Jap,which the 3.6GB base game will pass the 5GB of memory space occupied.

I know, but the base game can't exceed 4GBs. dlc and updates are irrelevant.
@godreborn ,ok but if checked information holding down the game bubble,it shows you the entire volume of the game,so you can have 100 games installed that take up little memory space or have less than 100 and have full memory here,depending on what kind of game you install.
