Hi,
Is there a proper way to use vita memory card and sd2vita simultaneously? I mean using apps in memory card and sd2vita.
Thanks.

Hi,

When i try and open either of the board design files i get this error..

Loading Z:/adapter.brd ...

Error:

line 8, column 16: This is not an EAGLE file.

xyz: FR4 proto: 2 layers / 5x5cm (2.2x3.1cm) / 1.0mm / HASL / 1oz / Blue / Protopack ±10
basically all default settings except 1mm

HI,
I run vitashell and dispaly "file corrupt" cause launch vita-shell failed.

Vita OFW version: 3.68
h-encore : v1
gamesd.skprx version : v1.4
plugins: only gamesd.skprx.

[Verification]
Remove gamesd.skprx from config.txt can run apps and games.

Using SD2Vita (without a ps memory card) can cause certain apps not to function properly e.g. moonlight. App constantly returns to game menu when a setting is changed and saved (pressing o when done) or when attempting to type an ip since the configuration files in ux0:data/moonlight are not being created/changed when the app is launched.

Could this be a permission issue of some sort since if I didn't have the SD2Vita then the PS Memory card would be mounted as ux0 and the app would work?

We have noticed that your open source project has been ordered with us quite frequently. Would you be interested in publishing it through AISLER? There are no costs involved for you, determine your margin and we'll take care of the rest. We only manufacture in Germany and would be happy to support you that way!

I have made some tests on sceIoMkdir and I get the following results:

• sceIoOpen("ux0:somefile", SCE_O_CREAT|SCE_O_WRONLY) with or without sd2vita => 2ms
• sceIoMkdir("ux0:data", 06) or any folder that already exists => 2ms
• sceIoMkdir("ur0:test", 06) => 40ms
• sceIoMkdir("ux0:test", 06) without sd2vita and StorageMgr or gamesd => 40ms
• sceIoMkdir("ux0:test", 06) with sd2vita and StorageMgr or gamesd => 250 ms or more

This issue causes massive download speed drops in pkgj for games that contains hundreds of folders and eventually lead to a download failure due to HTTP timeout. I am also wondering if these 250ms aren't spent doing a FS sync to the sdcard which may wear it out sooner than necessary.

I tried a couple things. Replacing

static SceIoDevice uma_ux0_dev = { "ux0:", "exfatux0", "sdstor0:gcd-lp-ign-entire", "sdstor0:gcd-lp-ign-entire", MOUNT_POINT_ID };

with

static SceIoDevice uma_ux0_dev = { "ux0:", "exfatux0", "sdstor0:gcd-lp-ign-entire", NULL, MOUNT_POINT_ID };

Because that's what the structure looks like before being replaced. It did not help.

I also tried using sdstor0:gcd-lp-act-entire because that's a string that appears in the exfat kernel module.

Here is the small c++ snippet I used to benchmark mkdir:

void testmkdir(char const* path, int mode)
{
    sceIoRmdir(path);
    auto const start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    int err = sceIoMkdir(path, mode);
    auto const end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    auto const total =
            std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end - start)
                    .count();

    if (err < 0)
        LOGF("sceIoMkdir({}, {:x}) time: {} failed: {:#08x}",
             path,
             mode,
             total,
             static_cast<uint32_t>(err));
    else
        LOGF("sceIoMkdir({}, {:x}) time: {} success", path, mode, total);
}

Many thanks for the driver code.

As you know, others have modified it to mount the gamecardsd as ux0, and even to mount the genuine Vita memory card as uma0 at the same time.

I was going to ask you if you could make those modifications "official" and have alternative driver binaries available to download from your github page, rather than from random untrusted sites.

But then I wondered whether a single binary driver could read a config file at startup to change its behaviour, i.e. the mount points?

E.g. (and I don't know if this is possible) but maybe "pseudo command line arguments" can be passed via tai/config.txt? Or maybe the driver could read its own config file?

Thank you for reading.

Hi,

i have several questions:

1. does is work on normal Henkaku (not Enso)?
2. where to get compiled driver?
3. is there a guide how to install it?

On the newest version compatible with 3.65 enso the memory card is no longer mounted to Uma0. Vitanshell still recognizes it as there and in the previous version it worked as expected. Additionally, I'm having trouble installing nonpdrm games on the sd adapter. When I refresh the livearea it says 0 refreshed but if I move the same files to my sd and then comment out gamesd from config.txt then it installs properly on the memory card. Existing nonpdrm games work still so it seems to be a problem with gamesd not allowing the new folder to be picked up.

long story short, i'd like to load yifan's 3g usb device along side the sd2vita card.
The current driver doesn't seem to play nice. Whichever i call out in config first wins.
Is there anyway to add support for both at the same time?

Good afternoon!
Tell me, do I need to solder the adapter to the card?

Is it possible for each update to this plugin, you also release an alternate version in which the sd2vita card is mounted as uma0 instead of ux0? This would be extremely helpful for the few that use this plugin the other way around.

Mount original Vita MC as ux0: if no SD card inserted.

I'm trying to send a plaque to try this, but the dealer asks me for the circuit in Gerber format (which I try to create but without success from the eagle)

Could you add this format to github?

So i'm not entirely sure if this problem is directly related to the plugin or if it's something more focused on the way the vita handles memory cards so i apologise if it's the latter.

but when i formatted my 256gb micro sd card with the default cluster size my vita would always report incorrect free space while windows and all other devices display it just fine but this only happens if the card was filled up by more than about 100gb of data that was tested, and what's more is after a while if i don't do much the free space it claims is still available starts to quickly disappear.

I have flashed zzblank.img, formatted and copied all the files back over twice and the problem still persisted, but finally after talking with a lot of people trying to figure it out i finally found the solution, the free space will only be 100% accurate if when formatting you choose 32kb cluster instead of the default option which in my case was 256kb.

While the game is a bad port with a lot of stuttering I enjoy the story and as I paid for the game I tried to make the best out of it.
I ran the psv vsh menu with maximum CPU and GPU clock additionally to the gamesd-plugin when the game crashed and I had played for half an hour or so.
To make sure the psv vsh menu didn't affect the crashing I tried to reproduce the crash with an original memory card, but it loaded the scene without crashing, so I guess the gamesd-plugin is to blame.
Otherwise I had no issues so far with other games.

I've created a few threads over the past couple of days both on GBATemp and on /r/vitahacks trying to isolate the issue. It appears that the gamesd.skprx plugin might be causing an issue where the Vita will wake itself up from sleep mode. On my system, the screen will come on completely, the PS button light will flash and then it will go back to sleep after a few seconds. Normally I wouldn't mind this behavior if it happened only once or twice, but it seems to be happening constantly for me and some others (someone reported losing nearly 50% of their battery over night due to constant wake-ups).

I don't have any absolutely concrete evidence aside from the user accounts and my own personal accounts, but I hope that is enough evidence to justify this bug report.

Here are some additional things that I have done to isolate the issue:

• Disable all Henkaku plugins on boot by hold L - issue did not occur
• Disabled just the gamesd.skprx - issue did not occur
• Tried using different SD2Vita adapters - issue occurred
• Tried reinstalling Enso - issue occurred

Again, hopefully this is enough concrete evidence to justify this bug report. This is the only repo I have found for the gamesd.skprx plugin, but I know multiple "versions" of it are floating around. I would assume though that this is where all the versions of the plugin are coming from since I haven't found any other source code anywhere else.

I followed the tutorial on wololo to use sd2vita. I successfully installed it. However I can't find uma0 in vitashell. I am under the impression that upon activating the plugin, sd2vita will be ux0 and the sony memory card will be uma0. I have a vita phat with FW6.68 running h-encore. SD2vita is 200GB and the memory card has 16GB. I want to use the sd2vita for vita games and the memory card for PSP games using Adrenaline. Is my impression wrong or did I miss something? Thanks.

Hello Xyzz!,
What is the sd connector model?
Maybe some "serial number" component?
Greetings.
