The relationship between pocketstation and the virtual memory cards, i think only is needed to add a note about that it has his own flag (inside the slot section, not the whole card) and maybe a table for this flags
I think this slots when extracted to USB are a "raw" copy of an slot, i could inject them and extract them with the program "memcard rex", i think this internal structure must be documented somewhere, its a ps1 format

And there is an slot 0 + 15 slots in a .VMP? Hmmm, maybe the first slot is added by the ps3 and not present in a real memory card ?
Overall... this "memcard rex" is very usefull, im not sure if you are using it, a bit tricky but it works pretty well with an slot (remember when you extract to USB you are extracting only 1 slot)... you need to create a "new memory card" in memrex... and then drag-and-drop the slot there (and you can see his icon, flags and some info about the slot)
I could not open a full memory card with memcardrex (the readme says it supports .VMP iirc) but i was not able to do it

Take note of this idea with the "flag Nº1" and the video contents (maybe all multimedia formats), its not difficult to test but easy to forget

You had the icon "software manual" in game with a ps3 game mounted from back up manager, with MN category ?
This is something i didnt imagined to work, looks good and maybe is the only way to do it, the problem are paths and the format of the file
Also... if you test it another time... try to make a "save game"... maybe there are problem with the save game format (its a ps3 game, but maybe ps3 tryes to save the game as a minis format)

The IMAGE.DAT inside "PS2 system data" .pkg somebody said that is a "virtual PS2 HDD" packaged (and encrypted) for ps3... so its like a "ps2 format" inside a "ps3 format"
