Improving your Memory Stick performance on PSP

Recently, I formatted my 4 GB Memory Stick and it has since lagging and transfer speed is horrible.

1.7 GB of stuffs took 45 minutes to transfer.

The reason: The memory stick is formatted as FAT32 file system and it caused all the slow reading and writing problem. Formatting your memory stick in the PSP will result in the FAT32 file system, at least for my PSP Fat. I don’t have a PSP Slim to test it.

The fix: Format your memory stick as a FAT file system and it really improves in transfer speed, significantly.

All you need to do is to run Command Prompt. Window - R to open the Run Dialog and type “cmd” for the Command Prompt. To format the memory stick as FAT, type “format ms: /fs:fat”, where ms: is the memory stick drive.Screenshot

Before you do that, make sure you backup your SAVEDATA!

Are you stuck at the Desert mission in Patapon? Having difficulty in crossing the blazing burning hot desert that will cook your patapons alive?

In order to cross the Desert, you will need to be able to perform “Rain Miracle”.

Firstly, you need to get a key item called “Rain Miracle” from the Patata Plain, where you hunt for food for your patapons.

You will need to get close (about 1 marching pace away from the “Chaka Pon Chaka Pon” totem and perform “chaka, pon, chaka, pon” rhythm until the totem stands up revealing its root, then you continue the rhythm.

Here is a Youtube video on how to get your “Rain Miracle”:

You will have a new map after you get your “Rain Miracle”, and you will need to kill a boss to get the “Don Drum”.It’s a tough boss as it eats your Tatepons, so be careful.
