- Notes/Speculation:
- psp2 is the codename of PSvita, this contents are "shared/exported/imported" between PS3 and PSvita
- Can be also found without ps vita, generated folder and displayed :e.g. with PS vita pkg
- "psp" folder display "psp/other", "system" folder don t seems to expect .pkg.
- Trophy PS3-PS vita for possible similar user path.
- icon added to display vita content in XMB

Gamesaves
- Are stored as part of the backup utility ? (so no accesibles by ps3)
- Is posible to import export PS1 and PSP gamesaves back and forth ? (if so, is needed a short explain and a link to Game Saves page)
