First of all, you have to remember a famous saying: the death of the memory card is only a matter of time

If you use a card reader, the high heat generated when frequently plugging in and out and transferring files will cause damage to the card reader. Assembling the stick causes greater damage, so the best way to transfer files is to connect the PSP with the memory stick inserted to the computer using a data cable. Even if the memory stick is damaged in the process, the PSP will not be harmed. We also highly recommend genuine memory sticks, which have a lifespan of more than 10 times that of the combined sticks

Methods to avoid memory sticks being burned

1: Try not to use a card reader. Use a card reader. Use a dedicated card reader instead of a universal card reader

2: Reduce the number of connections to the computer. Play all the games you want in one go, and change a batch if you don’t want to play them all

3: Make sure that cracking the game will not crash the PSP at all, and do not flash the PSP frequently

4: Back up the archives in a timely manner.
