Memory Stick Duo adaptor for Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro

Product Information

While I don't have any experience with them directly they are likely easier to work with since they use only a single card for formatting and therefore would be only a physical adapter (as opposed to circuitry which combines two cards into one). If you have or can get a deal on a single MicroSD of the capacity you want (say 1x 256 or 512 GB) you might be better off just getting one of these single adapter cards.

This is because it was of a decent build quality and seemed to give the most consistent and reliable formatting results (more on that below). It is probably wise to stay with the name brands of memory (Sandisk, Transcend, PNY, etc.) And, since you won't necessarily see speed improvements with the newest and fastest cards you can probably buy the lower end of the more modern cards. Have some spare ones sitting around that are a few years old? They will probably work just fine.

To do this, you need to hook your PSP up via USB and go into "USB Connection" to mount your PSP to your PC.While it is possible to go 400 GB+ larger cards are going to have speed penalties when loading the card. The ONLY thing of importance is that after the format the PSP can see your inserted memory card with all the available space that was formatted!!! You may see some information/verbiage that states the PSP or the adapters support only SDHC cards. This is only because SDXC cards were not around when these devices were made there was only SD and SDHC format. So, the SDHC verbiage was meant to say "hey, we support the larger size SDHC, not just SD!" The same is still true in that the SDXC will work fine and indeed must be used if you want to use MicroSD cards beyond 32 GB.

In practice however the PSP is likely to give you several different kinds of "Format failed" errors. Taub, Eric A. (February 2, 2004). "TECHNOLOGY; Memory Evolution: Survival of the Smallest". The New York Times. Next is lettering. Here I mean both font and verbiage. The font is very similar on most cards, though some have a slightly stronger/bolder printing that might help you distinguish between them. But, more visible are simply the words. Many will state "PhotoFast CR-5400" as highlighted by the blue rectangle (which they aren't). The rest will just print a generically more honest "MS Pro Duo" and "Dual Slot Adapter." This process simply entails re-formatting your card through the PC. After putting your PSP in "USB Connection" mode and seeing the drive letter appear in windows we need to reformat.You should dissconnect from the USB connection and restart your PSP several times to ensure that the card continues to be detected. At this point the PSP drive letter should show as a good drive on the Windows system and you should be able to browse and copy files to/from it. The only difference between SDHC and SDXC cards is the maximum storage capacity and default file system format.

Try a different CFW (though I doubt it will make a difference as long as both support high capacity). After many tests I decided that it was unlikely I was going to ever get a clean format on anything over 128 GB. After reading rsn8887's thread above and seeing that he encountered the same issues I did I gave in to the fact that I probably have to rely on Windows to properly format the cards. Your formatting tool should provide an option for Cluster Size (possibly called "allocation unit size"). I am happy to report though that although the PSP has issues with the formatting, it appears that once it is formatted properly via PC the PSP has no troubles accessing the cards.Now - that being said, CSO compressed games are far from unplayable and in most cases won't have you twiddling your thumbs either. The next identifying feature is card slot shape. This is highlighted with the red rectangle in card #1 (the *genuine* PhotoFast card). Cards either have the rounded slot shape of #1 or the jagged shape of all the others. As I haven't tested any other cards with jagged slots I can't definitively say which type of cards might be better on any given trait. Last identifying trait I want to point out on this front picture is the plastic used. Specifically, if you look at #1 (the genuine article) you can see that the plastic is of a translucent type. If you look at the area circled in green you can see the internal circuit board of the chip. This isn't just because the material is thin and flimsy like #3 it is actually one of the more quality cards in terms of construction. You don't really need to worry about this because the genuine PhotoFast is the only one I've seen that has this translucent appearance, but it is good to know in identifying an original. If however you can't get the PSP to recognize the card with all space you will likely need to get a hold of another adapter, MicroSD card, or possibly CFW. NOTE: If you plan on using only a single MicroSD card in a Dual adapter, place it the slot labeled "1" (top slot).

Note this does not mean that things from the card will load slower, but it means that the PSP will take longer to recognize the card and load its contents into the XMB memory. Additionally, the adapter you use may determine the maximum amount of memory (based on what it can support. a b "News-Latest publications from CST". www.simmtester.com.

Once the cards were formatted however I was able to remove the MicroSDs and place them in any card and they all appeared to function normally. The exceptions here are #1 (the genuine PhotoFast which wouldn't support cards higher than 32 GB) and #6, which seemed to have no issues with 2 x 64GB but would not read my 200 GB cards properly. As we can see from the picture above we can break down these cards based on several identifying factors.

You may find after reading all the information presented here that you have no need to go beyond ~200, ~400, or ~500 GB in size based on other usability factors I will discuss below. Additionally, all my tests were done with MicroSD cards up to 200 GB capacity (because I got a good deal on them). This means the largest high capacity setup I have personally tested is 400 GB. Theoretically, the information in this guide should be attainable for MicroSD cards of 256 GB, 512 GB, or even 1 TB in size. Practically however it may be that the adapters on the market today have a limitation or that the CFW will not indeed support such large sizes. I will leave it up to others who have the available hardware to test this. If anyone tells you that CSO (Compressed ISO) loading speed is negligible compared to ISO, they're lying.
