You need to mount the flash device, at which point you can then use the standard directory commands to step through the entries to find files and subdirectories.

Use search on "flash0" to find threads on mounting the flash, like this one:

You should already be familiar with the posix directory and file commands. If you aren't, I suggest finding a good web page on posix file handling. There's plenty of example code out there on posix file handling, so you probably won't find much here in threads. That's one of the "basics" that you should know before trying to work on the PSP.

I don't think that such a function exists....
By the way: do you know the function to make a tetris game (I mean the whole game, I don't want to blit all that graphics!). :)

Ciaooo

Look in X-Flash source code.
I got the example here somewhere so you haven't looked too hard.
You don't really have to know how it works to use it, but I had to start
understanding in order to calculate the total size of all files.

Oh, I got it, You'll never guess where I got it from.
The SDK samples directory!
You know, the file IO example called "Dumper"!

But the x-flash is old, like dumper, since they work only in kernel 1.5, for slim it gives errors. I think that only it can one by one copy the archives of the flash.

Thanks you. ;)

Before reassign the Flash0 and after utilise the function write_file.

Well I assume you can read one file before you try to dump the whole partition.
That is a different question.
