Just a word of advice to anybody using an SD card bigger than 128gb, make sure you set the allocation size to “64kb” cluster size
your avi is god tier
Question - if I want to upgrade my SD2Vita micro-sd card with existing files and then have free space for other things, is it just a matter of buying a bigger micro-SD card and then copying existing data across?
@@wilsonjonah you didn't have problems with storage? as far as I can tell, any SD card above 128 gb will have storage problems. With mine for example, instead of 100 free gb, it said I had only 13 free gb.
Mugen so if I have a 128gb sd card should allocation size be default?
I made a big oof, thx fro advise tho
Good video which is easy to follow. However, it's a mistake to suggest leaving allocation size to default. That might work on smaller micro SD cards but it will not work on bigger ones. I followed this video to upgrade from a 256 to a 400 and it didn't work (Vita showed 0 free space on new card even though everything worked fine). This was due to leaving allocation size to default. It needs setting to 64kb so the vita will read the capacity correctly and show correct free space.
I'll be upgrading from a 64gb card to a 200GB Sd card, what should my allocation size be?
@@paulosantos9299 64kb. Always just pick 64 no matter what and you'll never run in to any issues.
Just make sure that the 64kb allocation size is only applicable for 256 gb+ sd cards not 128 gb below. People might think that you're saying that "smaller SD cards" are just 8, 16, 32, 64gb etc. which is correct, but I'm just saving people from doing small mistakes by telling them to just leave the default allocation size from 16-128gb sd cards. 128gb sd card still applies for the default allocation size.
@@MhysT_MC4 what about 200GB.
I'm not gonna upgrade i'm just gonna start with a new 200 gb sd card.
@@MhysT_MC4 this is super confusing.. So 128gb card need to be default allocation size or32kb.??
Because default of card is 128kb!!!
Well for128gb is what a correct size? And for 200gb is what correct??
No one here can give straight answers? Lol
To add to this tutorial, viewing hidden files won't reveal every file that needs to be copied. I had to enable view of protected operating system files which is separate from viewing hidden files to copy everything.
How do I do that on w10? I haven't figured out how and have been using the move/copy inside vita shell to place the apk, etc. In the proper places and have officially hacked and modded it. It was a pain, I want to switch from my memory card to a 400 sd card. His videos are easy to follow but not everything is the same on mine as it is set on his, also I ran version 3.70.
In file explorer, go to the view tab on the top and click on view settings. I don't exactly remember the name. And where you can toggle hidden files in that window will also have toggle for protected OS files.
This is exactly what I ran into with my first attempt. Thanks, your comment has helped me a lot.
@@vuongnguyen6639 alo ông ơi , tôi đang cần nâng cấp thẻ nhớ , nhưng mà chỗ view hidden files , tôi cũng bật dấu check nhưng không hiện lên mấy files bị ẩn gì cả , ông giúp tôi với

James!!! You are Star!!!!
Totally same advice I needed yesterday, but Skull helped me, but it's really good cause you done this video as many others I think need this!!!
Dude, thank you for this tutorial. For years I have been wondering how it was done... Yours was clear and straight forward! now I know how, thank you!!!
Tech James!! I respect how you make your video guide very detailed and precise. This guide will be a huge help for fellow PS Vita owners. I already learned this from GamersRebirthDL couple of months back and upgraded my PS Vita with a SanDisk 256GB (bought two of this microSD) and now my PS Vita is an absolute monster. I followed a lot of your previous guides which helped me tremendously and now I can say that my PS Vita is the best handheld device ever!!!!!! Thanks dude!
For anyone stuck like i was, in the view section you have to untick hide protected operating system files as well as show hidden files. My files where showing only 6gb instead of 11gb and this was the reason why, it wasn't copying all the files over. once i done this it worked. hopefully this helped someone.
Thank you!
your comment deserves to be pinned!!!!! your a life saver, was stuck because i had 256 gb and saw my files were too small, BIG help on this one
Tysm I was totally lost 😂
Dude life saver, you deserve a medal
thanks for this advice. when you installed the new card, did you reinstall hencore/henkaku? or did everything work fine when you put in the new card?
Along with the advice and suggestions in the comments, with your video I successfully upgraded my storage with out losing anything. Thank you so much dude!! For real and thanks to the other legends in the comments, god bless you all!
I currently have a 256gb going in mine. It's lovely. I figured if I was gonna do this, I'd better get a lot of space to get everything I want! Thanks to you and your videos, and some websites, i Haven't had any problems. And it's fantastic! Thanks, TJ, you're awesome
Lester Paredes can u link me to the same 256gb card u bought
All I see on eBay n Amazon seem fake
As fk don’t wana make a mistake where can I buy the same one u bought
@@putapinga1857 I bought mine at a brick and mortar Best Buy. It is a Samsung Evo Micro SD card. I also didn't want to risk buying a fake one, but if you buy from Amazon (like, they're the actual seller and not simply fulfilling the shipment) you should be okay.
@@putapinga1857 Samsung cards are discounted right now on Amazon, just got a 256 for about 50 quid
What is the max GB card that you can use with the vita?
Is the card reading the correctly the amount of free space?
thanks again James. your stuff is easy to follow and smooth. now that theyre even cheaper I upgraded my vita with a 128gb!
Teach me my storage is same as you but not working
I was actually looking for a memory card fix in another video. And the TF card plugin solved the issue. Thanks!
OMG James you made the video regardless! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You sir, are a legend! Would love for you to consider doing Wii U tutorials there's barely anything on the web about it its super difficult and you can get 'em cheap nowadays, you're a legend bro! Thank you!
Days and days looking the solution and you showed me. Thank you so much. Solved the question of the missing files and errors in vshell
Thank you so much for the video , was literally tryna do this the other day and kept getting corrupt files .
Tech James at it again. James you are such an MVP! Appreciate all that you do my man!
I just want to thank you. I've watched many of your videos and you have helped me quite alot! Thank you!
Came back to this because I just got a 256GB card. Thanks again TechJames!
Thank you so so much dude. Went from 64Gb to 128Gb. On Moduro so I just booted without needing to reinstall CFW.
I just upgraded my PS Vita to a 256GB sd card and it works perfectly (on henkaku enso 3.60). All my games, files, saves are OK. Thanks very much for this tutorial !!
did you reinstall henkaku/hencore after? or did it all work fine when you put in the new card?
@@mariocolletti8475 HENkaku Enso is a permanent hack.
Thank you James for all your help!
@Tech James awesome video I upgraded my new one, keep up the good work, and those good videos coming.
Dis y u da best James. Vids are fookin' GOAT!
Tech James your just killing it lately.
I managed to do it as per your explanation. Thanks a lot for your explanation.
Congratulations to have your good channel.
I had to go the other way around. Put the NEW sd card in the Vita and the existing one in my PC. Since I had replaced "Near" all was good. Just launched the formatting tool for the Vita2SD adaptor, rebooted, then launched VitaShell, USB mode on the Vita2SD slot, enabled.... then used my Linux laptop to copy the files across. Nice speed too I must say! 50GB of data took about 20 minutes all up. Cheers mate.
Also, Check off "Hide extensions for known file types."
then click Show hidden files.
thank you bro i was trying to figure out why they werent showing i appreciate it :D
Thanks for the tutorial, James! Just upgraded my SD2Vita to 400GB with your help!
Nice! But isn't the SD2Vita maximum capacity 256gb?
@@prox276 Nope. I made multiple tries with 3 different 400gb Sandisk Ultra cards and they all worked without any issues.
@@RCfromtheNYC Alright, I was just wondering. Have fun then! :)
@@prox276 If you got the funds for a 400gb catd, you should try it out. I upgraded my card because there is a Vita "build" by modder CrazyMac with preconfigured retro-console emulators and "some games". The 400gb will leave you enough room to add more games if you wish.
@@RCfromtheNYC I might do that, but I just installed all the Vita games I could ever need and I still have 50GB left for PSX and PSP games, but thanks for letting me know, I'll check him out.
Worked flawlessly, thank you.
Very nice, great content as always.
This is exactly the video I've been looking for.
I’ll definitely have to keep this video in mind when I decide to upgrade my SD2Vita. Before this video I had purchased an SD2Vita from amazon for 10 bucks about a week ago as I decided to finally hack my PS Vita in hopes of getting use from it. I had this Vita for 4 years and wasn’t about to let it got to waste by expensive memory sticks.
So far thanks to this SD2Vita I was able to upgrade up to 16GB and could put games like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Monster Hunter, Castlevania, and more thanks to PSP and PS1 Roms ( ISOs / Eboots ). However, I hope to get more storage soon so I can delve deeper into the hacking scene on the vita.
Finally my 256 GB card arrived today and I'm ready to use the tutorial! Thanks James
does it work well?
did it work. allocating size?
@@asadsaqlain1065 I never noticed the replies, sorry guys. James video worked, just make sure in the part when he formats the SD put the cluster size to 64 KB, otherwise you'll lose a big part of storage
@@NCC-0000 appreciate the reply. I'm upgrading from 128gb to 256gb. I already have loads of games installed. will these get copped swell and will they work or will I need to re-download everything again?
@@asadsaqlain1065 Just copy/paste the contents of your old SD card to the new one and everything works exactly the same (I did it with my original 8 GB to 256 GB). Just be careful to turn Hidden Folders options on to not lose most of important folders like "pspemu" of Adrenaline
Awesome friend, thank you, I hacked my Vita the other day with a 32g MicroSD card while waiting for my 512g to arrive. This solves my issue on switching over...thank you.
Same here I just hope the new memory card has good speeds.
Worked for me. I upgraded to from 128gb to 256gb. When formatting the sd card i did 64kb allocation Then enable hidden items on windows explorer as well as uncheck hide protected operating system files on folder options. Copied all files to the new sd card and viola. Done!
hey did you had to reinstall henkaku through h-encore?... because i don't have that and im not sure if i need to or not?
@@radiantmuse23 after swapping the cards i didn't and it worked fine. None of my files got corrupted. But after a while i still did re install henkaku just to be sure.
@@J.C.2.5 ok cool thnx for replying and yeah i upgraded to a 400gb and i didn't need to re install it too and everything worked just fine! :D
Thank you so much for this guide , now i will be able to download more game to my psvita . I don't know what's more to say so thank again man .
For everyone new to hacking ground , i can confirm this still work as long as you follow his step by step
A perfect guide, thank you, this guide really helped me out
Just as I was about to upgrade.👍👍
Thank You for this tutorial! really helps!
Tech James, You are the man!
Thanks a lot ! Worked perfectly
It worked well thanks 👍🏼
Thank you my man for the tutorial
Another top vid 👍👍
always on point as always Tech James! is there a way to accomplish this on a mac?
I copied and paste the files to the new sd card. Completely forgot about the hidden folders. But I was only missing the tai folder. This was before tech James released this video. I needed this video couple months ago lol.
i had a 128GB Samsung Evo micro SD card in my vita, and was running low on space on my memory card,m so i purchased a 256GB Samsung evo, and followed your method, but for some reason all of my games that i downloaded said the file is corrupted. am i doing something wrong ? i dont want to start all over again. when i put my 128gb back into the vita everything work perfect, but the 256gb is not working at all.
Thanks brovvvv
I just upgraded to to 64gig successfully
Thanks again
Nice one, chap.
Thanks! just upgraded to a 128 gig from a 32
I take it you can downgrade size as well if you wish? great video James :)
you sir are the real MVP.
Just a question regarding of the workflow. Why should I write an image to my SD Card when I format it afterwards to exfat? Don't see why I should do this. And secondly. Would it not be faster (and more save as what I read the vita is not known for error free file operations) to use a second SD adapter for your PC and simply copy from USB to USB. This way you would also get a faster transfer speed.
Thank you james you best
you are a doctor!!!
Big tnx!
Thanks! ordered a 512gb sd today!
Overkill
nope.
@@mcreal109
Bjorn Volkers Massive overkill.
They're now available?
OK, you're right
@@arrownoir
real cool video it was very easy love it
128GB or higher use 64k cluer size, and when it comes to copying the Data from the previous SD card, I find it easier to copy the entire SD to PC HD and then, once the new SD is formatted correctly with the image, copy it all over.
Is it just higher than 128?
Hey James, can I swap between two different sized SD2VITAs using the same console. Want to keep psp games in one and use the other for Vita only games. Does it work??
It works on my vita, from 64gb to 128gb upgrade. I used 128kb allocation size on my 128gb sd card upon formatting.
I ordered my sd2vita about a month ago. It just arrived now waiting for the sd card. #hyped
I am having misread issues with my 256GB card. On my Vita it says it's full but on my PC it says it has 90GB free. I saw a guy on reddit say that 200GB+ cards need to have a 64kb not default. I'm trying that now
Thanks for this lol 😀
Dumb question here. Can I use "" instead? (Where A is the source drive and B is the Destination)
Your instructions are dope, very easy to follow. Thank yoU!
Just an advice, in vitashell, you should select which would be opened in pc. If you have another microsd in your vita, you have to select sd2vita in vitashell so the one in your gamecard would be copied
Important tip if the "ps Vita" doesn't show up to your PC :
Step 1 : Go to vitashell
Step 2 : Press the start button
Honorable mention : Download andftp to your Android phone if you don't have a PC
Step 3 : Change the select button settings to USB (Needing to connect to your PC)
Hey james i need help. Please reply as soon as you see this!
I have 2 sd cards in my pocket right, the first one is the 16gb card and the other one is the 128gb...i want to use the 128gb for psv games and for the 16gb for ps1 and psp roms. Can i use seperated sdcards for my psv?
(note:two of them are not the sony psv cards)
Hey James can you do this on mac? And can you still play cartridge games if you do this?
Question - if I want to upgrade my SD2Vita micro-sd card with existing files and then have free space for other things, is it just a matter of buying a bigger micro-SD card and then copying existing data across?
Thx working 100%
Hi, I did exactly this and what others said about allocation size. The issue I have is that when I copy all files, all hidden ones and OP ones, the copied files are just a bit smaller than the "used space" in the original SD. Maybe by 0.4 gb or something. And when I load the Vita with it, It's as if I just turned on a new Vita. There are only the generic apps. I still see the Henkaku menu under settings, but it seems that Vita does not recognize my new SD. It thinks nothing is inserted (that's what it says when I click "unlink memory card").
Any help please~
same
U need to untick the box where it says hide protected operating (apply) then OK
You are the Vita master
u have an amazing voice
Quick Question: I grabbed a 256gb micro sd card and formatted it to 64kb but it fails to load when everything is moved from my 128gb card. Something to note is that 24 items failed to download.
Any ideas help
Why do the hidden files/folders on my sd card look faded and when I scroll mouse over them they all say folder is empty?
if you have a PSVita memory, once you do SD2Vita, are we able to delete stuff in the original PSVita memory? I have a 64gb MC and I would like to get that storage back for backups or other things. Is that possible?
Yes all my saved games go either to my micro SD card or to the built-in memory of the Vita itself and I never have an issue with it and I've never used a Sony official memory card. You could probably sell that bad boy. Get a pretty penny.
Does the SD2Vita adapter work with v3.70? On Amazon, I saw one adapter that said no and then another one by a different seller (and different color) that said yes and then contradicted itself elsewhere on the webpage.
I do it exactly like this on my MacOS and my Vita can't find SD card or ux0: any solution?
same did u find a fix for it?
@@Sho_Goat Yes, use better cable :D
@@NhiepKen when ever i try to bring my old data to my new sdcard it dosent read on my ps vita ☹️
Hi man, you have been really helpful so far, thanks!
I have a question: As I bought a fake micro SD Card by accident. I would like to install a legit 128GB micro SD card in my SD2Vita instead.
As I don’t have access to a windows pc, could I do it as followed. Or do I miss understand something (Jup, big rookie here).
Important: I never changed something on my official memory card after jailbreaking the device and installing my SD2Vita as my ux0. So the initially copied files are still on there.
1. Switch in Storage devices - ux0 to Memory Card. Switch uma0 to SD2Vita.
2. Power up the system again.
3. Switch off the system again. Put the new legit SD card in the SD2Vita.
4. Format that new SD card via all the steps you used in the video and repeat the whole process.
Please let me know if you think this is the correct way to do so. I’m aware I will loose all my games and safe games which are on my “old” fake SD card this way. But that’s fine. I just don’t wanna loose the essential files for my jailbreak to keep working on my system.
Thanks in advance so much for helping out! ❤
Thank you!!
I just want to know if u update memory card with more gigs do u necessarily have to update the micro sd card and the benifits and down side to each situation
thanks for info . is it possible to have multiple sd2vita cards and swap them as needed. if so how will it affect the bubbles display ?
Excellent video. Can you do one for the Switch too? I have a 200GB card in my VITA and a 128GB in the Switch. Would like to swap them around, lol.

Hi @Tech Savvy Buyer I'm having a serious problem with the sd2vita, I can't install more games than what my vita memory card can hold even though i have sd2vita installed
, I have a 16 GB vita memory card and a 256 GB micro SD , let me give you the rundown on this problem:
1. So, when I transfer files to my micro sd card that exceeds 16 GB of memory(the same amount as my vita memory card) the files dont show, just the folders appear.
2. While in vitashell, I refresh the LiveArea but I get the "Refresh 0 items" message (I have the most recent version of reF00d, vitashell and nonpdrm).
For instance, Iets say I transfer to my micro sd card some backups that in total are 17 GB,in result I can't see the files in vitashell but it still acknowledges the 17 GB and I'm not able to play the backups, however, if the files in total are less than 16 GB then vitashell recognizes it correctly, all the files will display and these backups will refresh successfully, and I'll be able to play the backups.
Help me please.
This only works on the 3g model or does the slim have some kind of work-around?
Thanks!
Hey James. When I transfer the files, it is not picking up all the games?? Is it because I use umo, uxo?
Thanks for this video, although I'm not going to upgrade my microSD I'm thinking of swapping between two 256gb, since I'm too cheap to buy a 512gb prices right now. So I'm just going to delete the contents of apps on my second microSD
