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.

PlayStation Home patch 1.04 out now
The new PlayStation Home patch is now available to download, but it’s not what we expected. The patch is primarily to solve connection issues some gamers are experiencing when trying to connect to the PlayStation Home servers. As a result, voice chat has been disabled to take some load of the servers. Until the service is enabled again, you will have to use text chat or "phone friend" to communicate. Abigail Murphy, PR Manager for PlayStation Network, recommends using the Wireless Keypad for PLAYSTATION 3 or any USB or Bluetooth-enabled keyboard.
Once the chat service is back online, the PlayStation.Blog will be updated with the latest information. Until then, why not download the new patch and try connecting to the servers to see if you can get online.

PlayStation Home getting patched today
It looks like Tueday’s PlayStation Network downtime was to solve the PlayStation Home connection issues some users have been experiencing since the Open Beta launched last week. SCEE Home Community Manager “TedTheDog” has announced that a patch for the problem will be released on Thursday. The connection error (also known C-931 error) will hopefully be resolved with this patch.
If you haven’t been able to get on to PlayStation Home yet, the wait is almost over. Boot up PlayStation Home and you will be prompted to download the update once it is available.
PlayStation Network down for maintenance
Parts of the PlayStation Network were down today for some regular scheduled maintence work. Sony did not mention which areas would be down and no advanced notice of the work was given to gamers. Sony also did not mention what would change during the period of downtime so don’t be surprised if nothing has changed. You can find any updates about the maintenance over at the PlayStation.Blog.
Users are specualting the update has something to do with the PlayStation Home problems, though Sony has failed to comment. If an update for PlayStation Home is in the works, you can expect a update message the next time you boot up Home. We will post any further news here – keep an eye out.
Astro Tripper Trophies
