OK, from the previous thread, you didn't state how the PSP and your computer is connected. (Err... I don't know how to phrase this, if it's wrong, correct me, because the error is related to an external device, in this case the PSP)

What kind of cables are you using? Transferring the files from CD to PSP or via a data cable or whatever method?

gasband SG

My files are already in my computer, not from CD.

I am using this cable, i think should be data cable bah, one end is USB into the computer USB port then the other end is a small one to the PSP. The data cable comes with the PSP I bought.

So any ideas? Appreciate all the help I can get although i understand it can be difficult Crying or Very sad

Its nothing to do with your psp nor computer, its the files. Laughing

Make sure your PSP firmware version can play ISO games

I suggest you using your Memory stick instead of cable.

PSP > GAME > SOMETHING like that I haven play my psp fer a long long time Smile

did you format your MS with your PSP?
you confirm your USB port nothing wrong?
nothing wrong with you cable? maybe you can try using the same cable(same USB port) to transfer files to other devices to check.
Got enough space in your MS? Try to transfer a smaller file to check for cable/MS/USB port functionality first. scali your MS is fake 1? Reads 2GB but actallu can only store 1GB of data.

1. You mean i need to put my MS into my PSP and format it? It comes together with the set when i buy from the shop. As I ask the uncle help me to copy games into the MS. But i did go back change one new set a few days later as there are bright pixels. Of cos the MS is the old one, so does it have any impact?

2. Yeah my USB port works well for other things like my mouse and printer.

3. The MS says i still has 1GB of space left and i got a number of games inside it...so i guess should not be fake one bah....

sad ah....dun know whats wrong

hi, i am from PSP forum. anyways, i guess the cause of the problem lies with either the PSP or the computer. Most likely the computer. i have tried transferring data to my mobile phone and sometimes this message appears. so i tried connecting it again and its ok. but when i have my PSP, i still use data cables to transfer files. there are a few ways i can offer you. no. 1: you can try getting a card reader and see if you can transfer files. no.2: try getting a cheap memory stick and try transferring files through the cable again. no.3: buy a new data cable. no. 4: buy a new PSP.

hmmmmmmmmm...
since you format the MS before, and i assume that you can play the games in your MS on your PSP now, i guess the MS should be ok. Unless the MS is fake 1... i have heard cases before that the 'space remaining' info that you check from your PSP might be 'fake' as the MS is fake 1(and they program it to show the 'fake' space remining in your PSP). But MAYBE if that is the case, you should recieve a error of not enuff space and not IO error.

When you connect both sides up, can your com 'read' the files from your PSP?
Have you tried copying files over from your psp to your com? Coz if your com can read the files from your PSP, means the cable and PSP USB port is ok up to a certain extent. why i say that is because, there might be loose connections somewhere, either the cable joints or the PSP port there.
A cheap solution is to either get another cable(like fifteen said) and test out again, or you can just simply go to the shop you got your PSP from and ask them to check for you. Scali the new set you got is 2nd hand 1???
they should have these types of spare cables in their shop.

By the way, What are the folders you see when you connect your PSP to your com?
