Is there any way to test for the amount of free space?

Taken from the wiki:


Gets the available free memory. You can use it like this:

print("about " .. System.getFreeMemory() / 1024 / 1024 .. " megabytes free memory available")

I'd say this was memory not disk space. I have 128Mb free and it reports 17Mb, sounds reasonable given the 32Mb memory of the PSP.

What gives you the impression this isn't memory?

Is there a way to accurately guage the ammount of free disk space?

Perhaps a request for it to be built into Lua Player is in order?
