Plugin modification by SonryP lets you use your SD2Vita (game card) adapter as external storage!
The day when the microSD (SD2Vita) adapters will land is getting closer and some people have already modified the driver plugin. SonryP, who developed VitaMote, modified the driver/plugin to let you use both the microSD adapter and your Vita memory card at the same time!
What’s this plugin modification?
This plugin modification is based upon xyz‘s plugin (presumably with motoharu‘s software patches as per the original PoC video) and it allows you to use both the Vita memory card and a microSD card at the same time.
The modification is meant to work with the PSVita game card to microSD adapter (SD2Vita) and it obviously makes it more useful for most of us. Thanks to this modification, you don’t have to ‘waste’ your original Vita memory card since you can use both storage media at the same time. The original Vita memory card will still be mounted as “ux0:” while the microSD will be mounted as “uma0:” (same partition as USB storage on the PSTV via VitaShell – plugin may explode your home if you use it on a PSTV with USB storage).

If you have a smaller microSD card than your Vita memory card, this plugin modification will be very useful as it will let you use your smaller card as extra storage rather than as main storage.
Proof that the plugin really works (the adapter is a makeshift one)
How do I get it?
To get the plugin mod, all you need to is to download it from the link below and install it to the KERNEL section of taiHEN’s “config.txt”. Obviously, you need an SD2Vita adapter so unless you built one yourself, you have to wait a little while.
That being said, the ETAs of the adapters we were promised are getting closer so stay tuned! 🙂

first for enso
First go me I hope people like me
Hmm, but for those of us with decent OG memcards, say 16gb and up, it would be even more useful if you could flip those two around. Meaning use the memcard as uma0 and the SD as ux0
Be cool if could use stock vita memcard, a SD2vita and Yifan’s psvsd adapter to have available storage all at once.
Heeheehee, Excellent taste in music

Well it was my idea about two years ago, now someone made the hardware part for it.
I hope it will be patched to use bigger card as an additional storage. My 8gb card is not going anywhere but it really needs a lot of help from 128 gb friend.
i have a sd2vita adapter making by myslef, it work just on enso ?
“will be mounted as “uma0:” (same partition as USB storage on the PSTV via VitaShell – plugin may explode your home if you use it on a PSTV with USB storage).”
Wait, the pstv has usb storage? how? what is the limit on the usb that i can input. And is it just for update data or can i store other things like games on it (with henkaku)
Curios if i can start storing my roms on it. I have loads and loads of em.
Can anyone link the blueprint to the adapter?
Is there a way to do the contrary ? I wanted to use my 128gb sd card as the main card and maybe use the original ps vita memory card as secondary.
