Why don't I have a music folder on my pc that appears with all of the of the other icons? Can you upload from itunes? conf.gif

On your memory stick should be the folder "PSP", inside of that will be a "MUSIC" folder.

No, I don't think you can upload from iTunes. Just manually do it.

there is a switch at the left hand side of your psp push it up.

Well, we don't have savedata here. And I don't have that many games, nor do I have very good save files((with the exception of GTA)).

hey guys i just got a used psp with no manual,... so i especially need help on charging it, cause when i plug everything in, is there a llight that turns on when its charging, or so you have to have it all the way off(hold for 2+ seconds) or can you quickly shut off, or leave it on..... either im too unexperienced w/ psp ,or the "used" charging cable is faulty

signed,
CONFUSED!

Question
When I switch on the psp it comes on for a sec and turns itself off, it does this maybe 4 or 5 times before eventually it comes on and stays on. Can somebody please tell me if this is normal or do I have a faulty psp

My first guess would be that you have a faulty PSP. It definitely was not programmed to do that.

Ummmm.... Yeeeeaahh.... Odds are, you won't get it fixed.

If you bought it in China, then there would not have been a problem. If you bought it outside of China, Sony will not take it back. They don't accept send-ins of imported PSPs.

~chris~ - Jan-03-2006 server time
I have a question. I live in china, so the voltages for all electronics are different, and a transformer is needed to work them. Stupidly, i plugged in my PSP with the charger in a socket that didnt have the right voltage. Now I'm pretty sure that my PSP and the charger are busted. Is there any thing I can do to get it fixed? Email me the answer at ckrueger339@hotmail.com or just reply on the blog.

DCIM is a photos folder, DCIM stands for Digital Camera Images.

Yes. I stated that. It is a completely POINTLESS folder to have.

Thank you for clearing up that the PSP won't recognize more than one sub-folder in the each category.

James UK - Jan-03-2006 server time
MUSIC Note: supported music files must be placed in the root or in a single containing folder. The PSP operating system will not recognise music files that are nested in multiple folders. For example;

GOOD:

Music
Some_Album
Some_Track

-or-

Music
Some_Track

BAD:

Music
Some_Folder
Some_Other_Folder
Some_Album
Some_Track

I'll try to get both of you at the same time. Ok, here we go.

1. When you first insert your memory stick, BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, go STRAIGHT TO THE SETTINGS AND FORMAT YOUR STICK! It will create all the necessary directories and such.

2. If you already have game saves and what-not, don't worry, you can create the folders yourself.

3. Connect your USB cable into your PSP and your PC. Go into USB Mode at the far left, very top of the PSP main menu.

4. Double click "My Computer"((or "Start > My Computer" for WinXP)). Look for the removable drive, I only have one but not sure how many you might have. Just check them all until you find your PSP.

5. On your stick should be a folder called "PSP". If it is not there, simply create it.

6. After "PSP" comes "GAME", "PHOTO", "MUSIC", and "SAVEFILE". I might be a little off on spelling or not adding s's or something, check the chart I posted earlier. It should help.

7. Now, these are pretty self-explanatory folders, right? Game isn't used yet except for homebrew and firmware updates. Photo is where you put your images for viewing on the PSP. Music is where your MP3 files go. SAVEFILE is where the PSP saves games at.

8. You'll notice extra folders next to "PSP". "MP_ROOT" and "DCIM". Anyone with a digital camera should recognize "DCIM". "DCIM" is ANOTHER folder to put pictures. If you notice under "PHOTO" in the PSP menu you'll see "Digital Camera" or something similar. Yep, that's where that folder gets its images. Completely pointless, so don't worry about even creating this folder, at all.

9. "MP_ROOT" is where your videos go. Inside "MP_ROOT" is another folder, "100MNV01". You stick all of your MPEG4 encoded videos there. The file names MUST be "M4Vxxxxx", where the x's are 5 random numbers. Any numbers will work.

That is all there is to it. Feel free to ask more questions if you need help.

If you have a digital camera you'll notice it's the same folder that digital cameras use. You put pictures in it. Yeah, it's a completely useless folder.

another question lol mmmmmmm i put a trailer on my psp but it starts playin thn says 'video cannot be played' how can i fix this problem?


So the video actually starts up and plays a bit before saying it can't be played? That is odd. Not sure how to fix that, as I have troubles with videos and just say, "Screw that" when it happens. laugh.gif

i thought u might know ... pyr-o-rgasm


It is on the left of the PSP. Right there above the Memory Stick Duo slot((above it, if the PSP is laying down, that is)). Also, for playing games with friends, check your channel. Go to "Network Settings", it's on the very left of the menu and all the way to the bottom. Then click on Ad Hoc((that is PSP-to-PSP instead of PSP-internet-PSP which is Infrastructure)). Make sure everyone is on the same channel before you start playing((trust me, it is quite bothersome if you don't do this FIRST)). Even if you're on Automatic, everyone else has to be, too. For some stupid reason, "Automatic" doesn't actually work. sad.gif

If you are using firmware 2.0+ then it when you format your stick it automatically creates the correct folders.

That is how the directories are suppose to be set up. 100MNV is where your videos go. em194.gif

Make sure it is in "PSP > MUSIC". K? Before you put anything on your stick, go to Settings and Format You Memory Stick, that way all the directories are there. EVERYONE((or ALOT of them, atleast)) seem to be having that problem((not realising you need directories)).

AVLS - I notice not many people can figure out what AVLS does or stands for, I think it's probably something like Automatic Volume Level Setting, my guess at what it does is that it stops the volume in the headphones exceeding a "safe" level, so that you won't be doing your hearing as much damage as having it blasting out. However I wouldn't guarantee that it will not cause hearing damage when switched on.

That makes sense. BTW, did I actually mention that or are you just mentioning it? Because I seriously don't remember what I typed that far back. laugh.gif

Hi - is it possible to listen to music and view photo's at the same time on the PSP? As soon as I try to view a pic while listening to music, the song pauses...

Thanks.

Once you leave one option and go to another the first one stops. Like trying to view the actual battery level and playing a game.

Weeellllll... if you like your music in .wav format and your pictures in .png, you can use this:

For most people, though, there's no practical way to view pics and listen to mp3s.

Before you add anything to your stick, go to settings and Format Memory Stick. It's alot easier than creating all the directories yourself. If you have 2.0 it creates more directories((because 2.0 NEEDS more directories)).
