How to Restore a PSP Memory Card

The Sony PSP portable uses a memory stick to store a wide range of information from games to music to video to photos. As there is no easy way to back up the memory card, some or all of the data could be lost should it get corrupted. The solution when this happens is to use a specialized program designed to recover data from a memory card.
