Important note from developer:

Please take precautions and back up your important data if needed. If you encounter issues when unlocking subdirectories, you can use an hexeditor.

How to bolt subfolders safely

If you bolt a subdirectory with up to 7 upper or lower case, the name will be safed with dot and 3 letters.

With more than 7 characters, the subfolder will be safed with all letters and is only invisible for the PSP (invisible on PC), but it's not secure bolted. If it shares upper and lower case characters then you get the same result.

Subdirectory - Example with up to 7 upper or lower case:

  • EXAMPLE (unlock) to .EXA (lock) = securely bolted = EXA (after unlock)
  • example (unlock) to .exa (lock) = securely bolted = exa (after unlock)
  • Example (unlock) to .Example (lock) = only invisibly = Example (after unlock)

Recommended names for proof subfolder(s) are A00-Z99. It does not concern the GAME folder.

Subdirectories can be locked but not secure bolted, only shown as Currupted Data (to reduce risk of mistakenly locking crucial datas).

Using PRIVATE folder:

For example, if you want to use a PRIVATE folder, write the following line into the file private.cfg

ms0:/PSP/myprivate/

Create a folder with the same address and start the application Lock The Folder. Be careful not to locked system-relevant directories.

PSP folder structure:

/MUSIC
/VIDEO
/PICTURE
/ISO
/SEPLUGINS
/PSP/GAME
/PSP/GAME150
/PSP/PHOTO
/PSP/SCREENSHOT
/PSP/SYSTEM/systema.cfg (password file)

You can remove all the passwords by deleting systema.cfg (password file).
