[Feature Request] PSPEMU folder as usb mount point

[gjunnila]

Currently there is no usb device option to mount the PSPEMU folder as the exposed usb device.

Adding this option would let the PS3 recognize the exposed usb device as a PSP memory card enabling save transfers in both the xmb and games such as Metal Gear: PEACEWALKER HD.

Maybe this is a big ask but it would save people from needing to copy their memory stick folder to a USB stick rather than copying directly over a micro usb cable.

Love the changes so far and thank you for your time!

i think og adrenaline had this feature if you use option in xmb

The option is there in both TheFlows version and this fork but neither work.
Selecting memory card as the exposed USB path exposes your vita memory card root. In this case, ux0:/

It should however be exposing the pspemu folder.

Issue is, adrenaline uses same "hack" as vitashell: it exposes whole partition via module, that was created by sony for (uke)torne/nasne, and, initially, exposes filesystem images.

First of all, this is a bad approach (both for adrenaline and vitashell), due to desync between system and usb.
Second, this makes it impossible to export path on device via it.

Implementing that feature would require writing mass-storage driver from scratch.

While this is doable, don't exect it soon (or ever)

Taking a closer look, not sure this is possible at all. Usb mass storage works not with files but with sectors/clusters via SCSI.

One way i can see that working is by packing only saves (keeping overall memorystick structure) into temporary FAT filesystem image and exporting that. And then unpacking it back

And this can be done as an option in adrenaline settings

This sounds like the ideal solution imo. Maintains PS3 XMB compatibility and wouldn't require a massive undertaking from what I can tell. My solution was copying files to ux0:/PSP/SAVEDATA manually :p
