The PSP, or PlayStation Portable, is a handheld gaming and multimedia console that saves game files on Memory Stick Micro or Memory Stick Pro Duo. Gamers frequently lose their saved data due to accidental deletion or corruption of the media. To repair corrupted data and recover PSP files, you can follow these two methods.
If your game data becomes corrupted, you can fix it manually and restore the game data.
Step 1: Turn on your Sony PSP and wait for it to boot into the PSP menu, often called the PSP XMB.
Step 2: Connect the PSP to your computer using a USB cable. Enable the USB connection on the PSP. A window will pop up on your computer, granting you access to your PSP memory stick.
Step 3: Find the game that you previously put on your Sony PSP memory stick. It should be in the "GAME" folder, "GAME150" folder, or the "GAME5XX" folder.
Step 4: Transfer the game to another game folder. The corrupted data error occurs when the game you're attempting to load is in the incorrect folder. If your game is in the "GAME" folder, move it to the "GAME150" folder, then disconnect your PSP from the computer.
Enter your PSP's XMB and run the game. It should now appear as a playable game, not corrupted data. If it still shows as corrupted data, reconnect the PSP to your computer and move the game into the final folder. Disconnect the PSP from the computer and enjoy your game.
