How does the XMB display content?

0

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?

0

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?

0

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.

Can I email my game saves to friends or upload them to a server/website/FTP site?

0

Yes, you can take your game saves from the Memory Card and upload them to a webserver or email them.

To do this, simply connect your PSP to a PC/Mac using a USB cable (Or you can use a card reader to directly read the Memory Card). Access the “SAVEDATA” folder, found in the “PSP” folder, and ZIP the game save that you want. Then upload it or email it!
