I made a stupid mistake of not checking the partition table of my MicroSD before setting it up to use SD2VITA. My default (on Kubuntu 20.04) seemed to format it for GPT. It would appear The PS Vita doesn't understand the GPT table format, and will make the SD card not show up on the Vita, but fine on a computer. This might make some less technically inclined people think that their SD2VITA card is broken.
fdisk -l /dev/sdX will show the partition table type under 'disklabel type:'. If it's shown as dos, it'll appear fine on the Vita.
(I sadly don't know a command to change this. I change the partition table via KDE Partition Manager).
This could've been a glitch on my machine since it was a GPT table prior to being repurposed for the Vita, but might be good to add as a troubleshooting step in case the user is unable to get it working.
Apologies if this was the wrong place to drop this. The whole website was extremely helpful in getting my Vita from fresh to homebrewed, and really appreciate all the hard work and effort that has gone into producing this guide.
