i have the card formatted to Fat32 as the tutorials i seen say to. i formatted with guiformat while the PSP was plugged into my PC via USB Cable.

is there anything i can do to get the PSP to read the full (or near full) space of the Micro SD Card?

is there one that supports 256GB?

 

[Alexander1970]

is there one that supports 256GB?

Sadly there is NO guarantee which Adaptor is working on which Card size.Also there are known issues with this Adaptors in the PSP.
Most of them has a limit of 64 GB.

Sounds like you got sold a dud SD card. Dont buy them from eBay, theyre 1/2GB cards faked to look like 100/200+GB...

If you try copying some files, say over 1GB in size to the memory card, then take it out and in - does it read the files okay? If not its a fake, most likely. Get from a reputable seller.

I do not even know that 256GB is possible, but test card with h2testw to be sure that card isn't fake

I bought a dual slot adapter (fake cr-5400) on ebay from motoheatusa where the 2nd slot does not work, BUT the 1st slot does, and it supports 128GB MicroSD card branded by Micro Center. Am currently trying to find a way to 256GB but no luck so far.
Seems to be a limitation of the adapters. Need to find a real CR-5400...
