I reformated my psp in the computer,I cant play anymore my psp games and cannot see the savedata?why is that?.but i can view my pictures,movies nd hear music.

Plug your PSP into your computer using a USB cable, and select the "USB connection" option in the PSP's settings.

Now, on your PC, in "My computer" you should see the PSP connected, and it will appear as a hard drive. Open it, and find the SAVEDATA folder. Copy that folder anywhere on your computer, such as your desktop.

Then, after the PSP is reformatted, copy the SAVEDATA folder back onto the PSP using the same connection process as above. As long as you didn't rename any files, it should save it all for you =)

1. CONNECT YOUR PSP TO PC
The PSP can function as a USB Memory Stick Duo reader. Using this functionality, you can copy pictures, audio, and other content to and from your Memory Stick Duo. To access the Memory Stick Duo in your PSP from your PC, you'll need a USB cable that has a "Mini-B" connector (common for digital cameras) and a "Standard-A" connector (common for printers, etc). Plug the Mini-B side into the top of your PSP and the Standard-A side into your PC. From the PSP software, navigate to the top of the settings list and select "USB Connection." Your PC (Windows/Mac/Linux) should detect a new "Removable Disk Drive" that you can then access.

2. TRANSFER SAVE GAME TO "SAVEDATA" FOLDER
Just copy the folder you have just extracted, and paste it into the PSP's "SAVEDATA" folder. But, BEWARE!, to any folder overwrite warnings! Because the PSP save game folders use the same names for the same games, copying folders into these locations could lead to lost data. For this reason, we recommend that you backup your old save games before overwriting them. For Example, I would simply rename a folder like "ULPS0004" to "ULPS0004_backup."

3. EXIT USB MODE
Because your PSP has been in USB Mode throughout this process, just push X to exit. Then you can safely disconnect your PSP from your PC.

Welcome to fixya,

Here is the step by step instruction to put save games on your psp,

1-Connect your PSP to the computer using a USB cable.
2-Get the gamesave from a gaming web site.
3-Unzip the folder and make sure it is the one you want.
4-Get the folder that has the main game save in it.
5-Copy the game save folder.
6-Open PSP-savedata and make sure you don't have that save data but with your save.
7-Paste it and if you have a current save in it, press replace only if you want to really get rid of it or save it to your computer.
8-Check the PSP savedata on the PSP menu screen to see if it is corrupted.
9-Put the game in that you got the save data from and see if it works.

Hope this helps.

CONNECT YOUR PSP TO PC

The PSP can function as a USB Memory Stick Duo reader. Using this functionality, you can copy pictures, audio, and other content to and from your Memory Stick Duo. To access the Memory Stick Duo in your PSP from your PC, you'll need a USB cable that has a "Mini-B" connector (common for digital cameras) and a "Standard-A" connector (common for printers, etc). Plug the Mini-B side into the top of your PSP and the Standard-A side into your PC. From the PSP software, navigate to the top of the settings list and select "USB Connection." Your PC (Windows/Mac/Linux) should detect a new "Removable Disk Drive" that you can then access.

FORMAT YOUR MEMORY STICK

In order to be able to use your new memory stick on your PSP, you'll have to format it. When you format your memory stick, the formatting will create a set of new folders on your PSP: GAME, MUSIC, PHOTO, and SAVEDATA.

EXTRACT THE SAVED GAME

This process will greatly depend on which software you use to extract zip files. WinRAR for instance offers the "extract here" option, which will simply extract the contents of a zip file to it's current directory.

TRANSFER SAVE GAME TO "SAVEDATA" FOLDER

Just copy the folder you have just extracted, and paste it into the PSP's "SAVEDATA" folder. But, BEWARE!, to any folder overwrite warnings! Because the PSP save game folders use the same names for the same games, copying folders into these locations could lead to lost data. For this reason, we recommend that you backup your old save games before overwriting them. For Example, I would simply rename a folder like "ULPS0004" to "ULPS0004_backup."

EXIT USB MODE

Because your PSP has been in USB Mode throughout this process, just push X to exit. Then you can safely disconnect your PSP from your PC.

VERIFY TRANSFER OF SAVE DATA

To verify the integrity of the SAVE GAME data you have just transferred, use the PSP's built-in Save Data Utility. Select it from the "Game" menu.
That's it, simple and smooth.

when you downloaded the game it should have been in a zip, rar, etc file. meaning it was compressed. first thing after downloading the game you should have uncompressed the file giving you "game name.iso" or "game name.cso" you do not put these into your savedata folder but instead on your iso folder that is located in root of your psp. i.e. (if your psp is connected to your pc) my computer>removable drive (meaning your psp)>iso. simply put its where your music, video, picture folders are located. just create an iso folder there

before i get way ahead of myself let me ask a question
most common mistake is..... do you have a custom firm ware (cfw) installed on your psp or the official firm ware from sony. most people think they can download a game from torrent sites and it'll work. but for it to work you have to have cfw installed. you can check youtube for psp cfw

make sure you make a VIDEO folder or just format the card [ plz copy all ur savedata to ur computer] and it will erase the card and then put the necessary folders for VIDEO PICTURE AND MUSIC

backup your file like game and savedata and music and picture on your PC hard drive to make sure you don't loose any important files
after that format your PSP Memory Stick then reset your psp on the early state on the PSP MENU Setting then put your backup files

or

update your firmware

or
still doesn't work bring it to PSP Repair.
it might be Your PSP Device might have problem let them fix it for you

Try this:

1) You must first backup ur data on your memory stick to your PC. Mainly the saved games data. ( directory is PSP\SAVEDATA) 2) Format the memory stick using the PSP format tool in system settings...not your PC. 3) In System Setting UNCHECK or UNSELECT "UMD Cache" this must be off!!!! 4) Connect your psp via USB cable 5) Copy your game saves / data back to your psp remember >> PSP\SAVEDATA . 6) Do a hard reboot of your psp ie hold the power switch for 3 seconds and it will reboot. 7) Your UMD games should now work with no probs.

This is not my solution, just a solution found on a messge board from others having the same problem

Then shutdown your PSP & try to load it again.

It probably won't work.

Now, this teaches you a lesson, make another copy of the game save-datas of your games on your PC every now & then, or on another MS!
