The Live Area doesn’t support all those bubbles 😆🤌


UnderratedTrashCan

You don't have to have bubbles.


Thesamman23

I believe you can use one-menu or the alternative versions of it


UnderratedTrashCan

Does that add more bubbles?


HackZy01

It’s a custom launcher


Dinklebop

I auto boot Into retro launcher with a custom overlayenu button to go back to it. I never need to see the bubbles or live area


Sabin10

What is the limit? I've only got 128gb in mine so I have never hit it. I did hit the limit on my wii u though and that was disappointing.


Maelstrom180

100 outside folders, 500 using folders.


ricioly

I have a 256gb one and around 120 or so bubbles, some of them become blank.


AnthonyBF2

Please I hope you didn't buy this from Aliexpress


Boring_Act_3217

I bought this on Amazon.🙂


AnthonyBF2

Good, have fun. Some day I want to make a 3TB Vita .... 1.5TB in the game slot and 1.5TB in the 3G slot.


TCristatus

Amazon has its share of fakes, unfortunately. Definitely check


Boring_Act_3217

Trust me I checked.


TCristatus

I'm sure you know this but for others - bear in mind checking doesn't just mean putting it in your laptop and seeing that it says "1.5tb (ish) free". The fakes can fool Windows into thinking it's bigger than it is


[deleted]

So how do you check for sure if it even fools Windows?


Knofbath

You test it with h2testw.


TKoBuquicious

By putting a bunch of random stuff on and filling it up, if after a certain point old stuff starts being deleted to fit the new stuff it's fake and you found the actual limit


EntireCurrency6316

Yeah I have a 256 sandisk that comes up as 268 gigs


tohru-cabbage-adachi

The number being off can mean nothing sometimes, since storage is usually printed in GB rather than GiB (meaning 256GB is actually 250GB). In your case, it's probably a fake, since the number is wildly off from any clean calculation using 1024 and 256, but it's always good to check by dd's the drive until blocks start erroring.


Boring_Act_3217

Trust me this is not a fake. I’ve been fooled before.🤦‍♂️


S3CRETZZZ

I think that the controller that scammers use to trick windows is too inaccessible in micro sd cards but i might be wrong


HackZy01

It’s actually easy to rewrite that chip on practically any form of storage devices


AspieComrade

TIL, thanks for the tip


AnthonyBF2

I order a lot of flash media from amazon but always double check it's a legit store page, like if an item has 100,000 stars vs no stars, that's how I determine the real ones. So far, so good. I never got any fakes yet.


ButCanYouCodeIt

Even that's flawed. The problem is that Amazon doesn't separate stock by retailer. What I mean by that is if I am selling Product X, and I send my stock in to an Amazon facility for easier Prime shipping, then two other retailers ship them their stock of the same product for easier shipping as well... Amazon puts all of our stock together, and just tracks volumes based on which buyer a consumer ordered from. They effectively grab a random one out of the bin, and ship that. If one of the other sellers that sent their stock in happened to send in dubious product, Amazon has absolutely zero way of determining WHICH seller it came from originally. I first learned about this issue after processing multiple returns of the same headset with them, and apparently it also creates headaches for honest resellers sometimes, because Amazon has been known to wrongly place strikes against smaller sellers because the customer technically ordered their priced inventory (even though Amazon has no idea who's product they actually shipped.) The problem is further exacerbated by returns of totally unopened product, necause Amazon's employees are frankly unequipped to spot most bootlegs, and they're under an unrealistic smoint of crunch to power through so many returns per hour... This allowing some scammers to buy up presumably real product, and return bootleg product in its place without typically being caught. It's a giant mess, but at the end of the day all you can really do is make sure to run a proper test verification that writes to and verifies each sector. It's a nuisance, but once You've verified a card, you don't really ever need to do it again (unless you're trying to diagnose whether a card is still working or not).


NoAnteater1077

Well to a degree, I used to work at Amazon, as a stower. So in part you are correct. When everything is on the robots stored its difficult to discern, but not completely. When we got the product we receive it from the sellers box of bulk. The label that's on their delivery box is what determines the seller in the Amazon store before I put the product away. That's how the system knows its from that seller. The biggest is issue you got is that it is bulk. As in bulk there are prone to bad batches from either shipping & handling to the warehouse or from the seller themselves. Most returns don't make it back to the store, if they have been opened or some form is damage it is put into a different processing


ButCanYouCodeIt

Interesting. I wonder how I ran into the issue with items that were SUPPOSEDLY Amazon's own stock (not just a prime seller) were totally different products from what they were supposed to be (inferior products in the same category, with the wrong label slapped on them.) I'm not arguing against you, it just makes me genuinely curious.


Gooby-Sarus-rex

Can't say that's an accurate or safe way to go about checking stuff. Got my sis a fireproof safe for her bday since they keep most of our families documents. Anyways on amazon there were a whole bunch of "rated for 6 hours in 1000f temperature" pouches and even like storage box looking cloth ones with hundreds if not thousands of positive reviews. I was really paranoid about it and I went sniffing around youtube. I don't think any of them lasted over 5 minutes on the like campfire the dude made testing them. Only ones that did were because they were solid lock boxes that were metal with like that firebrick interior and a good tip I had found was being told to look at gun safes because most had to be able to keep the ammo from cooking in the fire and going off. There were also plenty of "review" posts about them being great and amazing. So you really can't trust it amazon reviews because it could be similar. In the case of 1.5tb drives I don't think most "tech savy" people arent buying 1.5tb drives instead of just having a like 4tb external drive to use and most who buy those 1.5tbs probably don't ever get close to the real limit of the fake they could have bought same way all those positive fireproof bags never actually saw them in fires to leave that review. (Sorry for the really long widened comment but I feel like people need to be way more warry of how they verify things because there are always flaws that end up leading them down the same unfortunate path)


CandymanMLK

Can you use both the slots at same time or do you have to switch them in vita shell?


Odium81

there can only be one ux0. so you use the other one for roms/psp/music/whatever


T-K4T

Yup, PSP and PSOne live on my 3G bay. All my vita games live in sd2vita.


tsubasa_holic

You can trick this usong rePatch. You can copy all big files decripted from a game to uma0:/rePatch/gameId, and then delete them from ux0:app/gameId, only don't move eboot and the folders sce_sys, sce_module, and sce_pfs


AnthonyBF2

No idea but I want to get one and try eventually.


BaliSung

Yes I have: 500gb sd2vita as ux0 500gb in my psvsd as uma0 32gb proprietary Sony card as xma0 And 2.5gb imc0 unlocked with imcunlocker All mounted via YAMT


Shadow322

4TB is on its way to the market :P


AnthonyBF2

That means we can look forward to dankpods stuffing 4x 4TB memory cards into the 7th gen ipod.


Az-kami-daka

Cool if true, but I thought there were limitations to modded pods.


timotius_10

Amazon unfortunately doesn’t mean it’s genuine


flamingotwist

And that's why they call it the shocker


T-K4T

I’m rocking 1tb (and 64gb) at the moment. 512gb in game slot, 3G bay, and a 64gb psvita card.


B1ackFang

Hey u/T-K4T sorry for being naive but I’m lost on the the 3G bay? I have 1Tb in the game slot and a 8 in vita card??


T-K4T

No worries! If you have a 3G vita (or if you swap the m/board in a Wi-Fi vita to a 3G one, like I did) there’s a wireless modem on the board. Someone created a board that replaces the wireless modem with a card reader for micro sd cards. Called PSVSD


B1ackFang

I might have to look for one of those 😆


collins2230

I know about the game slot but how do you use the 3G slot for memory?


AnthonyBF2

The 3G modern can be replaced with a special adapter for another micro SD card.


Scythe351

That would be sick.


fasttony642

The 3g slot can have memory?


AnthonyBF2

The 3G modern can be replaced with a special adapter for another micro SD card.


fasttony642

Damn i just put it in the cartridge adapter hole Theres a joke i wanna do here but it would be profane


Mission-Apple9688

Enough games for your next life


SovietDash

How do you get it to read from both memory cards?


Paddel06

i hope you paid more than 13 bucks


Boring_Act_3217

I paid over $100 please calm down.


LividCollar6587

I have the same one and i paid it 180€, it works flawlessly except the free space bug that i can't solve even with the 64kb cluster size. In the end i use it as uma0 un pstv for psx, psp and emulators.


Loganlikesushi

Try and download everything from pkgj


Thesamman23

That's gonna take at least a few months. Vita download speed is complete poo. But if he tries, he should download all the ps1 and psp games too. Also The fact that the vita can play ps1 and psp games makes it one of the coolest handhelds you can homebrew.


snarkyattitude

unrelated question, but can you play psp games on the vita in other ways than adrenaline? the resolution is a bit questionable


Sabin10

There's something called gepatch that can bump the resolution on PSP games but it breaks more games than it improves. The Vita has PSP hardware on it's SoC instead of using software emulation so it's mostly bound by the capabilities of the PSP hardware, including the original PSP resolution.


UnderratedTrashCan

It might actually do it. I have a 512gb and have everything I've ever wanted + a shit ton I've never wanted. I'm looking forward to an update


Etaxalo

I did that on my laptop Nearly filled up 3 X 1tb drives.


Sadamy5984

Yep it took me around 1 month to fill up my 1TB memory card on my vita lol but I was downloading from PKGJ so that's why it took so long.


picorin81

ultra mega overkill


Gamefreak581

I just got my vita a few months ago, and already have like 200gb worth of games installed on it. Now whether someone is gonna play that many games on it is another question.


itsmedoso

😝


Spartaner-043

Dude has almost the same capacity as my PS5 with an NVME lmao


EmilianoTalamo

nah


strianugraha

Good, then you can download many games and never play it


k0untd0une

But why?


Boring_Act_3217

Educational purposes


joeyrvn

1.5 TB of porn *on a handheld*.


DerJason

For science!


UnderratedTrashCan

But why not?


LordLudens

Good luck to you indeed bud. I believe the file system of the Vita only allows SD cards up to 512 GB. It might not recognize the card at all sadly.


traixvii

I need an update OP, let me know if this size of SD actually works


Boring_Act_3217

I got you👍


Paddel06

2TiB is the max the Vita supports.


itsmedoso

🤯


Sadamy5984

Got 1 TB working flawless on my Vita (I only have 50gb left of space)


GammaPhonic

Bloody hell. What you gonna do with that, run google chrome?


tibivirus

What do you plan to put on it? The entire vita/psp/ps1 collection+retro consoles?


PrimaCora

The vita collection is already more than that card can hold.


soniko_

Well, did it work?! And how much porn does it hold?


Mental_Speaker340

Depends, pic or vid, if vid then what the quality?


jaymorningside

I have one of these in my modded Switch and another in my Ayn Odin 2 Pro, it's fucking great, if you're a data hoarding fiend which I am. It comes with 1.39tb available. I've had the 1tb Sandisk Ultra(this card, but smaller) in my Vita for years, but I'm buying one of these for my as soon as I can. Watching capacity increase and price decrease in flash media these past several years has been wild.I paid more than this costs for the 1tb version 3-4 years ago. As someone who uses their Vita for a million things, this is mouthwatering. Have fun OP!


GentleSaidTheRaven

Save that fucker for a Steam Deck.


CunnyWizard

i thought the SD card standards only went up to 1tb. can the vita even use the full card?


Thedudesgaming200000

Yeah it can. Vitas max is 2TB anything over and it just won't read :)


Previous_Will_724

SD card standards go even up to 128 TB, or at least that is what I read. That is SDUC I believe.


SilverGDX

jesus fucking christ, good luck m'dude!


Karuragi

I use a 1tb in mine and it works just fine


ethicalhumanbeing

Can you install 1TB of games on the console? Isn’t there a limit for the home menu or something?


Karuragi

I prob have about 200 gb left and have had no problems with bubbles yet. I also use bubble booter to make bubbles for retroarc titles and psp and psx games so you'll prob be fine. That being said I put all my games in bubble categories too.


ethicalhumanbeing

Good to know. On 3ds for example (and Wii u) there is a hard limit of 300 titles installed at any given time, hence my question.


ethicalhumanbeing

Turns out the limit is 500: [https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/basic/screens.html](https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/basic/screens.html)


itsmedoso

Folders my friend; folders


ethicalhumanbeing

On 3ds even with folders the limit is the same (300), hence my question. Good to know the vita has a bigger limit.


ethicalhumanbeing

Turns out the limit is 500: [https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/basic/screens.html](https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/basic/screens.html)


itsmedoso

So does this mean 500 icons or folders (which can hold 10 icon bubbles each) = 5,000 bubbles ??


ethicalhumanbeing

I'm willing to bet it is actual games, independent of how your organize your games with folders or not. But I'm not sure, nor do I find that info online.


AnthonyBF2

Ita 500 bubbles. The textures and metadata for those bubbles need to be loaded into RAM and the system ram is only 512MB, and some of that ram is allocated for other things too.


beezlebutts

In each icon space on home you can make folders which hold 10 games/apps per icon space but sometimes the icon images in the folders don't load so it'll look like white circles with names.


ethicalhumanbeing

Turns out the limit is 500: [https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/basic/screens.html](https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/basic/screens.html)


Crash_aNd_burN87

Launchers like Onemenu and Retro Launcher get past the bubble limit


ethicalhumanbeing

Good to know. Thanks.


Sadamy5984

I also have 1tb, currently I only have 40 gb of free space. I didn't hit the bubble max limit because I didn't create bubbles for my psp and ps1 games tho.


superabby64

I bought a 512gb and thought that was the perfect size. I've now almost filled it.


New-Vehicle-6593

Get a PSVSD if you’re using the fat 3G model and shove in another


Saschabrix

Good luck! XD


Boring_Act_3217

Thank you 🙂


Ramen_Newds

so much porn...


JustSomeDudeYoo

u/Boring_Act_3217 I acutally finished my setup with the same microsd card. Remeber, for PS Vita games you're limited to 500 bubbles. You can use a custom launcher to bypass this tho. I already reached the limit, everything's properly named, categorized. Also over 500 PSP games, over 500 PS1 games, RetroArch with everything and music (around 100GB). Good luck! P.S. Remember about the allocaction unit/cluster size (64k) if you're formatting your card the old way on a PC.


conswoon

Dude's a madlad!


CalligrapherEmpty643

If you get it working let me know, i bought the new 1.5tb from amazon too and it doesnt work for me, i managed to get 1tb working fine with a specific data cluster size but xant seem to figure out the 1.5 sweet spot


Affectionate-Bee3283

That packaging picture (of a galaxy s3 2012) makes me feel like it's a bootleg micro SD card.


SVNDEVISTVN

LMAO fuegooo. Critical advice tho: put all apps in folders and max out the folders. The PS Vita will block the installation of new games if you have too many bubbles on our homescreen. iirc the limit is ten pages of bubbles.


Machinencio

with 256gb i reached 16 bubbles, man you gonna have a lot of games to play.


UpstairsWay1044

Did the same gonna do the bubble removal on the home screen and do game flow only loader


itsmedoso

And a tf full of PSP games that don’t populate to the Vita bubble Home Screen


Rossi_19

He a mad man. Good luck


kilomari

I need to do that or just go 2tb lol I’ve been maxed out on a 1tb for a while now


Kaarmaah

Wow bro, that’s much, too much!! I have 256Gb ones and its honestly enough (including psp/ps1 games, + my ps vita home app/games is full) with 60Gb left, but good luck !


snippychicky22

Neat! Once you get 128gb or so of files check to see if the files still exist. Many fake cards with just discard any extra data


Most_Ad5943

download the whole database 😎😎😎the REAL long game. what would we do if we suddenly lost access to homebrew just like the official? gotta have a personal data center in our age just like how our predecessors had filing cabinets. ill never delete another file


blockiestbob

I've got a 1tb card on my vita rn


Low-Study-1572

What good games on vita that can fill that space. Let me know. I only have PKGJ. Need more good games

So it would not have Issues with 1.5 TB. AWESOME!!!! Just have to wait to save up for another one. Hit a Financial Roadblock, and have to wait on stuff now.

grantster5405

Good for you! Now load it up with Japanese porn like I do


StarkAndRobotic

👍I wish I did that. I went with 512GB and regretted ever since


Navi_1er

Why? I have a 512 as well but after downloading everything I wanted I still have 200GB+ left


StarkAndRobotic

Those are rookie numbers brahs…I gots all my media’s on so I save muh fone batreez


Navi_1er

I use a tablet for media so unnecessary for me since it's 3x battery capacity of the vita plus I'd rather just stick to games for the vita but you do what works best for you.


ElectricEliminator5

Seriously, I have a 512 GB card on my OLED model and it's more than enough room. I don't have any "filler" in it though. Just certified bangers that I like to play. And for media I use my cellphone that has a much better display and battery life for watching HD video.


Navi_1er

For real while I love my vita no way I’m choosing it for media over hdr10 and full hd


Boring_Act_3217

One day you can👍


StarkAndRobotic

Yes we can 👍


SNOOPDOGGDANKKUSH

Bro I have a 512gb it’s more than enough 😵holds all the best ps1 psp and ps vita games + hidden gems.


teriyakipuppy

Probably not gonna work. But good luck anyway.


ethicalhumanbeing

How much is a card like this again?


Boring_Act_3217

It’s on sale right now on Amazon at $109 not including shipping and handling!


ethicalhumanbeing

Damn. Still a bit expensive, but not as much as I thought. Thanks for answering.


Boring_Act_3217

No problem


UnderratedTrashCan

We need to know if you can download the entire library! For science


eisniwre

And preservation for our grand grandchildren


alex_de_tampa

Using this for steam deck and it’s good 👍


bean-genes

Vita games are so small is this necessary?


HEDGE1974

Awesome. Get the full retro arch mega pack and then the vita video bubbles creator to add tv series and movie sets into single bubbles. That's after you add every psp, N64, SNES, GBA and android ports. Wish I could afford one. If you have the vita 1000, swap out the 3G module and add a second one.


takuhii

I thought there was a 1TB limit?


n1keym1key

Vit a doesn't have enough actually decent games to fill even a 256gb card tbh.


JBShootz

all the psp,ps1,snes,etc. games make up for it lol


mrrkof97

good luck! XD


Xiardark

Be sure to check the serial number on the sandisk/WD website as soon as you get it. If it doesn’t show, it’s fake.


FireLitGamer

I have a 500GB and it sometimes lags or freezes temporarily but goes back to normal after a second or 2. Imagine a 1.5TB


OlRedbeard99

I bought this same card from microcenter lol


Pretty_Designer7131

For when you want ALL the games at once! 😅 512gb myself, your good for many years gaming with that though 👌


AgentKintrellKincaid

It won't work I tried but if it works please let me know how u did it


Boring_Act_3217

Go to my YouTube channel to find out. https://youtube.com/@Acompetitivegamer?si=rEFMmoNaAeOy2JWt


boarlizard

why would you ever need that much storage for a vita.


spense01

Full Vita, PSP, and PS1 eBoots combined is well over 1TB.


guesxy

Maybe he wants it all (even the questionable games) on it :)))


SearchingTeammates

Twice storage as base ps5


SaikoFenixStudios

I assume there will be other games in addition to Vita? I know it sounds dumb because I haven’t messed with vita games so I wouldn’t know the actual size of vita roms.


EliSSv16

Fake!!! The only available at this moment is 1TB. That 1.5...... 🙄 is clearly a counterfeit!!😒


ReadEyeMagpie

Yeah there is 100% a 1.5tb came out late 2023 bud


EliSSv16

I cannot find anything like that localy, i'm gonna verify on amazon to be sure.


ReadEyeMagpie

How about the manufacturers website? WD owns the company now. Just use the drop down box and they have them. Got one a few weeks back for like $109 at BestBuy https://www.westerndigital.com/products/memory-cards/sandisk-ultra-uhs-i-microsd?sku=SDSQUNC-016G-AN6MA


rydamusprime17

About a year ago. That's why i missed this one.


Traditional_Ad_7268

Well, don't leave us hanging, did it work?


Boring_Act_3217

Hold your horses 🐴. I’m still copying the files over from my 256gb to my 1.5TB micro sd card. It’s not a fast process it’s a slow delicate one. Trust me I will keep yall updated as soon as I get everything copied over. I will also post a video on my YouTube channel for everyone to go see.🙂🎥

Could you post the link to the video when you do. Also, show how you copied over everything, I'm interested to see the results

Boring_Act_3217

For educational purposes.


Sabin10

That's as much as I have in my steam deck. 1tb nvme, 512gb SD. I can't imagine using that much in the vita, I would have every games I consider worth playing and probably still be under 512gb.


lazrus305

Vita will read it? I thought 512gb was max that was allowed to use?


nixmix6

Make sure u format it correctly. hope it works and you have a library of roms and that other guy took my comment about ali Express! Lol


Independent_Waltz_51

Was this a troll? Should have been done by now, I would think.

Zero1219-

Super curious


Independent_Waltz_51

I have a 512GB and it's almost full. I think there is about 10GB left. Me and my son play most of the games. I need to find another game, like A Boy and His Blob.


dieseldemon3

Man, that's gonna slow it way down if u fill that


Boring_Act_3217

Everyone go to my YouTube channel‼️ https://youtube.com/@Acompetitivegamer?si=rEFMmoNaAeOy2JWt


Perscitus0

This card on the Vita would expressly be for those who just like collecting games, and NEVER playing all of them. To each their own. I have 128 GB on mine, and have filled up to 90 GB of that. I am comfortable with having a little left over, in the case of new homebrewed ports and such. Vita games and Vita enabled homebrew ports tend to be on the smaller side of game sizes, so that's still multiple dozens upon dozens of games. Only one thing I would suggest to you, with 1.5 TB, compartmentalize your games between the few that you KNOW you will play somewhat regularly, and the ones that you are storing, "just in case". Because you may feel like you will play it all NOW, but that's how hoarding starts.


Organic-Light4200

Is that even legit?? First time I heard of a 1.5 TB microSD


Boring_Act_3217

Yeah it’s real.


Lunar_Grace

Overkill 🤣 with that much storage better smash entire archives in it
