Memory Stick Unreadable? WTFLOL

[bigbertha]

Minus the LOL, I got everything on my psp working easy. No Problems. Eloader working first try aswell as the Emulator. I had been playing FFVI and Super Mario for about a day. Then when i turned my psp on to start playing it again, the psp could not read my memory stick and i was forced to format. So my questions are, is this going to happen again?, Can i prevent this from happening?, and Why did this happen in the first place?

xthx

you don't have to format usually, run chkdsk on the memstick when it's connected to your pc..
usually this happens when you turn off ur psp when it's writing something to the memstick. So make sure you don't do that Like, savestates.. savegames.. etc

I wouldn't turn off the psp while *anything* is running - always safely exit whatever program you're running before hitting that power button Sure, it's not necessary, but it's much safer. The only exception would be concerning sleep mode (I wouldn't use snes9xTYL's btw, it's a MASSIVE power drain, really not like the real sleep mode) - sleep mode is safe

i would consider the same for example when exiting the emulator while it's still saving and stuff like that not just power off
