Garbled Loom folder in "the dig" folder which is u

Post by Veeb »

Help please!

Firstly i'd like to convey my thanks for a great port of scummvm to the PSP it's fantastic, Secondly i've checked on the forums and can't find another case of this so here goes.


I have a 1.5 fw PSP running scummvm v0.8. Today I decided to take the dig off it to make room for other stuff. Anyway I noticed a "loom" folder inside the dig folder (loom being another game on my psp but in a seperate folder) now all of the files in this folder are garbled random characters and the whole thing reads as "33.6 GB" in properties, and when I try to delete it, it says "Cannot delete file: cannot read from the source file or disk" Is there any way to remove this without formatting the whole card? and has anyone had this problem before? Thanks.


P.S. Here's a screen of the errant loom folder inside the dig folder.

I doubt it. I guess it might be possible to repair it using scandisk or some other piece of software, but reformatting is probably quicker and more reliable.

Not personally, but I've read about similar accounts from other people on some PSP forums and IRC.

I guess it's just some random erroneous data then. Thanks for the help anyway.

No, it sounds like a corrupt filesystem to me.. how else can it report >33GB on a media with lesser capacity?

Yeah but either way it's a re-format. Oh well. Thanks again for the help.

quite unrelated, but prolly still funny:

that was my HD once, it worked flawlessly though until I upgraded (just fdisk crashed every time I tried to start it, hehe)
