Cache neighborhood radius
You can load a map into the cache using this function. This will make the map also viewable in offline mode. A higher value means a bigger range of the map
Cache size ...
Because the internal PSP cache is rather limited, you can reserve some space on the MemoryStick. This will prevent PSP-Maps from freezing after a while.
