To be able to save bookmarks, you must have the “SYSTEM” folder in your “PSP” folder. A quick way to correct this is to format your Memory Card, but remember to backup your data first!
I cannot save bookmarks on my browser!

FAQs
How does the XMB display content?
Each option on the XMB (Photos, Music, Videos) can only display files located on a specific folder of a storage media (HDD, USB Flash Disk, Memory Card etc). If you are using a external data store, you must create the following folders on the root of the drive:
- PICTURE – for image files
- MUSIC – for audio files
- VIDEO – for video files
The format utility (found under Settings > System Settings > Format Utility) can create the necessary files on the external storage media, but will erase any existing data.
Why does my Internet Browser display a low memory error?
Your browser will display a low memory error if your cache is full. To disable this error, simply disable the use of your cache by changing the settings. The disadvantage is that each page will need to be loaded as it will not be stored locally.
You can increase the size of your cache, but in the end, it will cause the same problem. For the time being, it is best to disable cache. Hopefully Sony will release a fix for this error!
If the error persists, you can manually empty the cache. The error normally occurs when you try to load a large page or image.
Firmware 3.10+
On Firmware 3.10 and greater, you can enable the [Conserve Memory] option from the[View Settings] menu to prevent the Low Memory Error from occuring. The [Conserve Memory] option enables you to view a Web page that contains a larger amount of data because less memory is used to display the page.

What happens if the battery dies or I need to turn the PSP off?
The PSP has a hibernate mode, which saves your exact position when you turn off the console. When you turn on the console, you will be in the exact same position, whether in the PSP system menus, or actually playing a game.
If your battery dies, all unsaved data will be lost. If the green power LED on your PSP is flashing, it is best to save your game, as this indicates low battery.
To hibernate your PSP, simply push the power switch up for no more than 1 second. To turn off your PSP completely, hold the power switch up for 3 seconds.
What PS2 accessories can I use with the PS3?

How do I check battery life while playing a game?
Press the “HOME” button during any game. A menu will come up asking if you want to return to the system menu. On the top right corner is the battery indicator along with the date and time. The power indicator light will blink when the battery is running low.
