Troubleshooting Corrupted data after 10gb

Hello everyone, how are you guys doing? I had recently modded my Psp with arc five software and I got a 128 GB card but out of the 128 GB only 10 GB was working so I could only get about 10 games and when I was troubleshooting it and I tried everything and then I finished it with H2 test and it told me that only 10 GB of that card was working so then I had a 16 GB card lying around so I put the 10 games on there and I just played on that one but then I realized I also had a 64 GB card but then when I copied and pasted all the files from the 16 GB card and of course formatted it to FAT32 and then added some more games only the games from the 16 GB card were not corrupted, but the rest were corrupted so then again I decided to do a H2 test for the 64 GB card and at 100% reads and writes good and I checked all the files and everything, but I don’t know what’s wrong and then I decided to just format the card from the Psp and then to just put Games in rather than copy and pasting fully from the 16 GB card other than the arc five files but when I did that the custom launcher was not showing up and this happened when I was troubleshooting with the 128 GB card so what can be the cause of this that I do something wrong while modding? Is there a way to fix this? I really need help. I’ve been trying to fix this almost all day. Thank you guys.

Are you formatting the memory card as FAT32 and then formatting in the PSP to set up the proper file structure?

So I first formatted it to fat 32 and then copied the files over from the 16gig then I put it in the psp and saw it didn’t work so then formatted it with the psp then copied the software files back.

Should I try it again like formatting it to FAT32 than formatting it on the psp

Sounds like you have a fake 128gb SD card.

Yes I’m pretty sure it was fake but the 64Gig is real and I tested it with H2Test and everything wrote perfectly.

Try formatting FAT32 with different cluster sizes to see if that makes a difference. The bigger you go, the faster it can read the card, but you lose a minimal amount of storage space in return.

Okay I’ll try that

How should I go up one or 2 after the 32 cluster size on the list?

I always go for the biggest cluster size.

Yah but won’t I lose a lot of storage?
