[POC] SD Card as Memory for PSP

[Blako95]

Hello!

Yes a little tutoriel please
The finally work is very nice and interesting.

Thx

[VoX]

The mod is self-explanatory, there is no need for a tutorial

[Blako95]

yes but i don't understand where weld the pins.

In the WIfi card the ms pro duo player have 10pins but the sd player have 8 pins.

I just want a detailed image .

Thank you.

[VoX]

From the fact you called soldering welding, I don't think you should do this mod yet. Go for something easier first

[Blako95]

I know welded I put leds as well as chips on consoles.
It is for it that I want to make this mod.
Thank you

[pax]

what VoX was trying to say was that it's actually called soldering not "welding", and that if you didn't have previous modding and soldering experience it would be difficult for you to do this mod

[folklord36]

ok if u look back like 2 pages in this thread there is a graphic that tells you everything you would need to know for this mod. also

yes but i don't understand where weld the pins.

In the WIfi card the ms pro duo player have 10pins but the sd player have 8 pins.

I just want a detailed image .

Thank you.

from that i can tell you didnt research at all u cant just solder on new reader u need an adapter between them and the sd has one more pin than the micro sd witch is the adapter you will use so you just bridge the ground pin on the new reader to the other ground on reader they are the same

but keep moding till you are confident you can do this thats all they were saying and its obvious english isnt your first language so maybe learn to speak it a lil better befor posting on a domonantly english website

Are you doing this mod just to do it, or do you need it ?

I just bought three adapters from DXExtreme for $7.00 each.

They are the size of a pro duo card and the sdhc card just plugs into it and it just plugs into the PSP.

Also there is a release of a new pro duo adapter in Japan ( We have someone there trying to get a bunch of them )
that allows you to plug 2 sdhc cards into an adapter the size of a pro duo card allowing you to put up to
64 gig of memory in the PSP.

[Blako95]

Yes i saw the graphic but i've not not all inclusive.
If i've good understand I must buy an adaptater for this mod.

And if it possible , the people who made the mod , to make for me a picture of her wifi card?

Thank

PS:Hum i'm sorry for my english  . i'm frensh

yeaa its made buy photofast or something like that. let me know if those dx adapters are legit like the transcend adapters. i already bought like 4 transcend adapters all with 2gb ahah i ended up having sd adapters to so i can still use the 2gb micro sd's =]

but with such high capacity sdhc would you not experience lag whilst playing games off the memory card (umd's that you own that have been backed up as ISO's)?

this is all you NEEED maybe you should read the whole thread before you do this. it would be smart to get all the information and possibilities by reading instead of extending the thread.

but with such high capacity sdhc would you not experience lag whilst playing games off the memory card (umd's that you own that have been backed up as ISO's)?

yeaa you would i know for sure.. i already get lag with 16gb. just reading the memory stick and loading things from it. game play seems fine.

[folklord36]

ya its slighly slower but can only be measured in kb per second of transfer rate and it plays iso fine i run g.o.w on my sdhc and i get no lag.

[dkotlgaalm]

sir instead of removing the usb from the card reader can i connect the usb port into a two sided female port then on the other side ill connect another usb device .  can this be a posibility ?

Micro sd to ms pro duo (trancend) -> card reader -> usb port of card reader -> double sided female usb port <- usb flash disk or hdd

[j.s2ghetto]

NO the hdd isn't the same format as the ms

[dkotlgaalm]

can a flash disk work?

[VoX]

Flash Disk? As in a CF Card? You can run anything as long as you can convert it into SD signals

Random card reader that I cut a SD card slot from

=







I used a poor choice of wire running from the MSPD Slot to the conversion card, they kept shorting on the metal barrier, so I tried wrapping them in tape.... didn't help much, so I removed them to replace and burned my conversion chip taking the wires off... damnit

not to mention I also glued the socket right in the way of the UMD door...... but hey, it works! That image posted a few pages back helped greatly, thanks!

Hi guys, ive been keeping my eye on this thread for a while, im just woundering if someone would be kind to enough to answer one question,

im currently thinking of doing this, i have the memorystick duo reader from a camcorder and the sd card reader from another broken camera, the only thing that ive not currently got is the ms pro duo to microsd adapter, i just want to use the normal sd cards, could i wire this strait to psp card reader inside without having to use this microsd adadpter or is it vital to the working of this mod?

hope somone can answer my quesition, thanks to anyone who replys

[Jumbo]

No it would have to have the micro sd to pro duo to change over the signals.

It wouldn't work and people have already answered this is you read the tread like you said you where. 


But,
Welcome to AM

[folklord36]

thanks for bumping an accent thread with a dumb question i hate when ppl say there is no such thing as a dumb question because i just read a prime example. yes you need the mspd to sdhc adapter YOU CAN NOT just wire the reader to the wifi slot 2 different data protocols this question was asked in this thread several times and if you had even basic electronics understanding you would know you need an adapter or if you were to look at the huge diagram you would know you need an adapter if you were to read just the slightest bit of this thread instead of just posting without reading any of it you would know you need an adapter. hope that helps you understand why you cant just solder the adapter on and teaches you that we get really pissed off when people break the rules of our forum and don't do your own research and ask dumb   questions in really old threads. Welcome to Acidmods a place to share your research and projects and help others with theirs! have fun and word to the wise this is a really hard mod hope you are good at soldering!

[Lawthugg]

hey i was wondering if this would work

would it be possible to split the connections between 2 SD readers and throw in 2 32gb SD cards... 
i have 2 32gb cards for my camera and i would love to test this.
basically splice in the 2 sd readers into the mini-sd to pro duo reader and have it work the same  way

[gr8npwrfl]

NO no and No.

Not that simple only one can work at a time and the interface
can only see one card load at a time so it has to be buffered.

[JefeSand]

This is why I quit posting. Nobody reads or understands anything I say.

[cloud1]

Hey, wouldnt this also work?

http://www.psphacking101.com/node/15

[folklord36]

well considering those guys have a POC of it working...........  and the fact that MSPD and MS run under the same protocalls witch has been discussed in this thread several times if you would have searched before posting in an old topc you would know that

[Sanctus]

Yea dude do your research or at least post a new topic. This thread keeps getting brought back to life..

[bense]

From the fact you called soldering welding, I don't think you should do this mod yet. Go for something easier first

Technically speaking, soldering is a form of welding.

weld 1 
    (wěld)  Pronunciation Key
v.   weld·ed, weld·ing, welds
v.   tr.
   1. To join (metals) by applying heat, sometimes with pressure and sometimes with an intermediate or filler metal having a high melting point.
   2. To bring into close association or union.

I have read all nine pages of this thread, I am very surprised that nobody has made a writeup on placing the SD slot into a UMD less UMD drive space.

I know i'm not the only one that has more than one psp, and I know that I am not the only one that never uses UMDs.  When I do buy games, I rip the ISO off of them trim the dummy/update data, put onto my memstick and then place the umd on my shelf.

I have been thinking about the photofast cr-3100, but the only desire I have for this is if, and only if it can be stuffed into the UMD drive area.  I have absolutely zero desire to keep that thing on the back.

I did do my research and that is exactly why i posted that comment:
This mod shows that you can use an SD(HC) card on your PSP by using an microsd-produo adapter.
The video shows the same thing being done without a converter, but just a cut op produo card.
They didnt show SDHC cards though, probably because they didnt exist yet when the video was made:P
So my question was: "wouldnt this also work?" (as in: wouldnt this also make it possible for you to use sdhc cards on your psp.)

And so what if this has been asked before, you expect everyone who has a question regarding the first post to first read the entire thread before asking?
What if this was a 40-page thread, you expect every person so first read through 40 pages because someone may have asked that question before?
And as for posting in als old topic: the last post was also in september, so people arent allowed to post in a thread after a couple of weeks?
And also my question was directed at this mod, this topic, why would I create a new thread if im am just goin to ask a question about THIS mod?

but back to the point, So the mod decribed in the video would have the same results as this one discussed here and would also work with SDHC?

[mclain1]

Guys.... this mod has been obsolete since the introduction of the photofast CR-3100 and CR-5400 in cost and upgrade ability.  Stop wasting your time in buying cheap azz card readers and duo adapters that still wont have the performance of the photofast products.  By the time you pay for all your parts/shipping handling you will exceed the cost of the CR-5400 or worse yet, fry your PSP..!

if you want to internalize the CR-3100 then read this thread...
http://www.pspmod.com/forums/hardware/40368-internalizing-my-photofast-cr-3100-a.html

It is very easy to do and no soldering required..! 

If you are still scared about opening up your PSP then purchase the CR-5400.  8gig are the biggest in the microsd form factor so you are limited to a max of 16gigs compared to 32gig with the CR-3100 mod.  16gig MicroSD cards will hit the market with in a couple more weeks.

THe CR-3100 sells for $48 USD and the CR-5400 sells for $25 USD..

You can buy them at shopdigi.com

-peace!
