Ok so here's the deal, I purchased a Double Expand sd -> ms converter for my slim psp, and to use with it I have a 2GB sd card. Only when I put the converter in the ms slot and then turn the psp on it doesnt work. As in when i try to format the sd card I get "no card inserted" or something like that. However, the little memory stick LED blinks all the while that this is going on.
So, I figured that maybe the double expand converter only works on the fat PSPs, so I went down to my local gamestop and had my friend try out the converter on one of the used fat PSPs they had in stock. Didn't work there either. Same problem.
At this point I figured it was probably just defective and I was boned. But then I saw this mod:
https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=14584.0So I bought the parts needed for it, soldered everything carefully together, checked my connections with a multimeter..everything looks good. Plug it in, same problem. The little memory stick LED blinks like crazy, but nothing is detected by the PSP.
So now I think that maybe its a problem with the format of the SD card, so I try formatting it in FAT, and FAT32. Neither have any effect.
Additional info:
Currently using 3.90 m33
My 1GB SanDisk Memory Stick PRO Duo (which is formatted in FAT) does indeed work just fine in the PSP (So there probably isnt anything wrong with the actual memory stick reader in the PSP).
I've also tried a 32MB SD card in the double expand converter.
I've also tried a 4GB SDHC card in the little converter card I soldered.
Same thing happens with 32MB SD card, and the 4GB SDHC card - lots of blinking on the memory stick LED, but nothing is detected by the PSP when I try to format the "memory stick"
Has anyone had any similar problems?
Ideas? Solutions? Pity?
I'll take any input at this point.
