sony psp question

anybody know this one,,my son has a psp and wants to send stuff from the pc to it ,we have the proper link cable but no joy ,basically the pc is not recognising the psp .when we put a mp3 player in -no prob (send to,removable disk)but with the psp its no joy ,.when we click send to it doesnt give us the option to send to the psp ive been through the places to send it to (removable disk g,h ,etc) do we have to make any changes at the settings on the comp??the mp3 was no bother just plug in and away we went

If your running XP install service pack 2. My brother had the same problem.

Dan

You have to enable the USB connection on the PSP. Settings menu, USB connection. Do this with the cable in and it should pop up.

I guess you've probably already done this, but just checking

ive enabled the usb connection on the psp and now the tracks are being transferred no prob ,when i transfer them theres a light on the psp that flashes to let you know that its accepting data ,but when i go to play them it says'there are no tracks' wtf!seem to b doing everything in the manual for psp and still no joy its prob something really simple but im stumped,any more ideas folks?

I am having the same problem with my son's PSP.
I will also try what has been suggested and hopefully solve my problem.

It is very frustrating when you are unable to sort things out for your children. They expect you to know it all and sometimes PC probs. are not that straight forward to sort out. Maybe I am getting too old and its time to leave these things to the kids

Theres a set folder structure on the memory card.

I've been playing around with mine for a while now. Got about 200 SNES games on it

Yep, before I had to update mine in order to play GTA, I had a load of Megadrive and Gamegear games on it (both emulators ran excellently). I even had a couple of homebrew drum machines working on it. A lad I know made a good homebrew puzzle game ("The Icarus Project") for it too.

Now there's a new exploit for v2 (which incidentally needs GTA), I'll unlock it again.

The PSP appears as a removable drive. Mine appears J:

Within that removable drive you need to create those folders.

Then copy the files into them.
