FAQs
How can I multi-task on the XMB?
The PS3 XMB only supports limited multi-tasking capabilities. You can:
- listen to music while browsing photos
- can listen to music while surfing the net
- download from the PlayStation Store while surfing the net, listening to music, playing a video or browsing photos
You cannot:
- do anything while playing a game
- do anything while playing a video
To multi-task simply press the PS button and perform another action. For example, listening to music while surfing the Internet can be done by first playing a song. Then, press the PS button and open the Internet Browser. This works similarly for viewing photos while listening to music.
What Memory Card does my PSP support?
The PSP supports any brand of Memory Stick Duo. It supports the standard Duo, Pro Duo, and Duo High Speed, with or without MagicGate technology. Currently the largest available size is 4GB (4000MB), with a 8GB (8000MB) card planned for the future. It is recommended to use either Sony or SanDisk Memory Sticks.
How do I create a new user?
Go to “Users” on the far left of the XMB and select “Create New User”. The new user name can be up to 16 characters.
What is the PSP directory structure on the Memory Stick Duo/PSP Memory Card?
For Firmware Versions < 2.80
Most PSP’s use the following directory structure.
+ PSP | - COMMON | + GAME | | - UPDATE | - MUSIC | - PHOTOS | - SAVEDATA | - SYSTEM + MP_ROOT
For Firmware Versions 2.80+
Firmware versions 2.80 and above use the following directory structure.
+ PSP | - COMMON | + GAME | | - UPDATE | - SAVEDATA | - SYSTEM + MUSIC + PICTURE + VIDEO
The ‘PSP’ directory is the main directory used by the PSP. The ‘MP_ROOT’ directory is where you should store any MP4 video files you want to view using your PSP, in a compatible format.
The ‘GAME’ > ‘UPDATE’ directory is where any firmware updates should be stored as well as bonus levels or extras downloaded for a particular game.
The ‘SAVEDATA’ directory should not be altered in anyway, as it could cause you data to be corrupted, disabling you from loading your saved files correctly.
For Firmware Versions < 2.80
The ‘MUSIC’ and ‘PHOTO’ directories can be used to store music (ATRAC and MP3) and photo (JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF), respectively. You can use sub-directories to seperate the files as needed.
The “MP_ROOT” folder is used to store video content. (See How do I put videos onto my PSP?)
For Firmware Versions 2.80+
The “MUSIC”, “VIDEO” and “PICTURE” folders can be used to store music (ATRAC and MP3), videos (MP4) and photos (JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF), respectively
Note: The file structure for firmware version 2.0 is shown. For firmware versions < 2.0, do not add the "COMMON" and "SYSTEM" folders. For firmware versions 2.80+, the "MP_ROOT" folder has been renamed to "VIDEO" and the "MUSIC" folder has been moved to the root of the Memory Stick. The "PHOTO" folder has been renamed to "PICTURE" and moved to the root of the Memory Stick.
