RichDevX teases the community with a microSD adapter for the PS Vita (video)
It seems that the day that we’ll get rid of the dodgy Vita memory cards that have plagued all of us since day 1 isn’t so far.
This is confirmed by a video that RichDevX has posted on Twitter (see below). The adapter’s meaning to the Vita community is quite huge as it’ll finally eradicate the need to buy expensive memory cards that tend to fail quite a lot according to the Vita hacking community (especially the 64GB cards that you should stay away from). He seems to have been working on the MicroSD card adapter for quite some time but it seems that he finally has something to show us all.

According to his comments, the MicroSD card adapter should work via the memory card slot, NOT the game cart slot which might mean that it’ll be compatible with non-HENkaku Vitas.
The adapter is far from finished however as it currently only supports 4GB cards and there’s no indication of when it’ll be released and how it’ll be manufactured. Stay tuned by following his Twitter account for further updates!
(A friendly reminder: Don’t ask for ETAs….)

Being one of the people who bought the 64gb card long ago, I would love a cheap alternative
How exactly did that small clip prove a SD card adapter was being used. That is the same message I get when I have to reformat any size memory card?
It’s more Rich’s conversation in twitter that gives details 🙂
Judging by Richard’s tweets, he could use a bigger memory card, so why don’t you send yours to him? Maybe not the 64GB one, but a 16GB or even a 32GB would do some good.
I just came
I just bought my 64g memcard… 🙁
I’ve not heard of 64GB cards failing more often than smaller sizes like this article claims. I think that’s a myth created by people being more *** off when a 64GB card fails than a when smaller sized card fails. As for my 64GB card, it has yet to give me any problems.
Fair point. Maybe people just shrug it off when it’s a 4GB failing.
I have a 64GB, that I swap between my PS Vita 1000 and PSTV, and I’ve never had problems with it. I’ve owed it for over two year now. It’s more likely a rumour by poor people! LOL Btw, the card is nearly maxed out.
Dam i would kill for this, now that epsp is hacked by our friendly neighbourhood hackerman fl0w and the emulators coming out the wazoo including ps1 ànd dos! I find myself constantly copying stuff back and fourth over ftp (which I despise) to my 32gb card and I refuse to pay the insane prices for another card, this still seems like a pipe dream especially cus I doubt he will have any way of mass producing them, however if hes smart he will release a guide on how to make one and let others mass produce
RichDevX made a bunch and advertised he was selling them. I think this is his 3rd batch he had etched. Bought a few myself from 1st run.
Just wait until China gets a hold of this I’m sure it will be mass produced asap.
not sure where the 64gb cards failing comes from. got mine off craigslist for 20$ about 2 years ago and been going strong with all the modding and games i have on it.
Same here!
I’ve had a 64GB fail twice, not entirely, but games have randomly corrupted many times, Bear in mind I filled up like 75% of the card with games
And about a month after I bought my 64GB card, too.
No need to worry, the stupid of @drakesido. If he now can power on his ps vita. Will ask for an ETA
Wow sounds good.
if the adapter can support 64GB or highter, I would probably want 3 (if cheap though!)
Some hardcore pirates or collector bees on that Twitter, because they’re convinced they need 256 GB cards. ***?
No, it’s more that people want to buy 64gb storage devices at prices that aren’t like 400% market value.
128GB MicroSD would be HEAVEN!
I just want USB storage support for my ps-tv. Hopefully this goes some way towards it 🙂
Go broooo goooo!!!! ganbatte ganbatte!!! ps vita with 128GB SD Card will be soooooooooo awesoooomeee!!!!
Is this still happening?
